[Pre-BASEL 2018 New Release] Breguet's New Tourbillon

2018.01.26
Breguet "Classic Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatic 5367"
Breguet's Grand Complications have long been awaited but have yet to feature a Grand Feu enamel dial. The new 2018 model, the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Thin Automatic 5367, is a model that embodies the tourbillon in a simple and beautiful way. The dial design is extremely minimalist, with the displays reduced to the bare essentials, allowing all attention to be focused on the tourbillon mechanism. Available in rose gold and platinum, the rose gold model is paired with a mahogany brown strap, while the platinum model is paired with a blue alligator strap. Both models feature rhodium-plated movements.


 Unlike the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Thin Automatic 5377, released in 2013, this new model does away with the power reserve indicator. To draw attention to the tourbillon, which plays a central role in this model, Breguet has elaborately set a spinel on the hand-beveled tourbillon bridge. Highly legible, the pure white dial, crafted from traditional Grand Feu enamel, is contrasted sharply by the blued Breguet hands, ensuring clear reading of the time. The chapter ring, featuring Breguet numerals, is offset at 11 o'clock and symmetrically faces the tourbillon at 5 o'clock.

The dial side of the Classic Tourbillon Extra-Thin Automatic 5367 is quite simple, but the back reveals a lavishly decorated movement, featuring hand-engraved bridges, barrels, and automatic winding rotor. The platinum rotor, crafted for increased inertia, rotates peripherally around the movement, allowing for a full view of the movement and contributing to its slimness. In fact, the entire watch is just 7.45 mm thick, with the movement measuring just 3 mm. The Caliber 581 movement inside this watch beats at a frequency of 4 Hz and boasts a power reserve of approximately 80 hours. Its exceptional performance is achieved by a patented "High Energy" barrel, which increases the number of coils in the mainspring and stores more power.
