Video. Classique 7147

See a must-have of the Breguet Classique collection.

Breguet makes a point of honour of reproducing the decorative techniques applied in the early days of horology, particularly engine-turning on dials. The new Classique 7147, a refined model featuring an entirely engine-turned silvered gold dial, is a remarkable example of this approach. On this model, the main dial motif is “clou de Paris” hobnailing, while the offset small seconds subdial at 5 o’clock is enhanced by a cross weave pattern. Hours and minutes are read off by blued steel Breguet hands sweeping over a chapter ring bearing Roman numerals. Available in 18-carat rose or white gold, the 40mm-diameter case houses an ultra-thin mechanical self-winding movement with an off-centred oscillating weight. The sapphire crystal caseback provides an opportunity to observe the technical characteristics of the watch, including a Breguet balance-spring and a silicon escapement.
