A Horological Wonder

The tourbillon, a Breguet Masterpiece, is a one-off in the history of technical creations. More than 220 years after its invention, the tourbillon is still generating as much fascination as it did then and remains now more than ever, the Swiss watchmaker’s main prerogative. The most compelling release from the House of Breguet this year is the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395, a watch that combines the tourbillon, with a unique skeletonised dial architecture, and removes close to 50% of its normal material construction highlighting the true craftsmanship of Breguet watchmakers

There are objects whose intrinsic quality is a source of true wonder. The new Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395 is undoubtedly one of those. The extreme finesse of its 581 caliber has already propelled Breguet to bold technical feats in its previous creations.

The design of the tourbillon in particular had to be entirely rethought, which led to the creation of a unique architecture. Now the House of Breguet is going even further, removing almost 50% of the material from this movement, without compromising the build. This skeleton design, within an 18-karat gold caliber literally plays with the limits of what is possible and pushes the boundaries.
