No doubt
- One of the most sought after Breguet watches ever released.
The Breguet brand offers watches of
the highest quality matched with incredible style.
In the
tonneau-shaped “Heritage” collection it is the Ref. 5497 that needs to be
mentioned because of its refined dial design. The guilloché massive silver dial
elegantly follows the curvature of the case and sapphire glass. The recessed
round dial for the hour and minute hand and the opening for the tourbillon at
the position of 6 o’clock give it additional depth.
The Roman
numerals are cut out from one leaf of silver placed on top of the dial adding
to the 3D-effect. The Roman numeral VI functions as the tourbillon bridge. A
very elegant watch indeed.
The 5497
watch surrenders its tonneau shape to a tourbillon driven by a manually wound
movement. Leaving aside the mechanism, the timepiece itself boasts a
sophisticated design: curved on two axes to fit more than perfectly on the
wrist, the case, here in platinum and typical of the collection, presents a
recurring challenge to Breguet's watchmaking craftsmen and engineers.
The
double camber, which demands great technical mastery, also applies to the dial.
The basic Breguet calibre 187 has been modified and truncated to meet the
requirements of this piece.The Heritage 5497 watch displays its functions on a
costly face wrought in silvered gold. The spectacular play of materials and
reliefs puts the tourbillon in perspective, highlights the least detail of
styling and emphasizes the technicality of the piece.
The chapter
ring has been painstakingly cut out and superimposed like delicate lacework on
the cambered dial that has been engine-turned by hand. Made of a single piece,
the tracery of Roman numerals subtly hugs the contours and intensifies the
architecture of the object. The tourbillon bridge serves a dual purpose - it is
also the roman numeral 6.
This watch is art for the wrist. This
Tourbillon is produced in only a handful of pieces, cased in solid platinum.
Breguet's
Classique 'Grandes Complications' models are a salute to the centuries-old
union of peerless watch-making and mechanical mastery. This timepiece encompasses
perfect day-to-day sophistication with a magnificent looking dial.
Even
today, watchmakers approach this area of watchmaking with few illusions as to
the magnitude of the challenge. Building a Grande Complication wristwatch
confronts them with a maze of technical difficulties challenging both their
skill and their powers of invention. Thinking and working in four dimensions,
generations of Breguet watchmakers have driven their art to new heights turning
out minute repeaters, perpetual calendar watches and tourbillon designs.
Owning a
watch like this is a privilege afforded to very few collectors, since producing
a watch like this requires a master to produce it.
