HOROLOGY IN ORBIT

Moonphases, flying tourbillons, and star-studded dials — these watches remind us that horology has always had its head in the clouds.

BREGUET CLASSIQUE TOURBILLON SIDERAL 7255

For a brand that invented the tourbillon, it may come as a surprise that Breguet has never made a flying version — until now. The Classique Tourbillon Sideral 7255 is the latest highlight in a parade of celebratory releases marking the maison's 250th anniversary. Not only does it feature Breguet's first flying tourbillon, it's also the first time the brand has used aventurine enamel — developed entirely in-house — for a dial that doubles as a poetic nod to the founder's fascination with astronomy. Just 50 numbered pieces will be made.
