Breguet 2019. Hand-on the new Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395

[@watchonwatches]

I’ve always felt that Breguet doesn’t get enough credit in the horological world. Yet their timepieces possess amazing technology and beauty! And your presentation brought it the respect and dignity it so deserves.

[@WatchAdvisor]

... "And your presentation brought it the respect and dignity it so deserves." ... David, that's a moving feedback and compliment for Breguet. Thank you! I will forward it to Breguet & team and to Marc Hayek...

THE GOLD ONE IS MY FAVOURITE. WOW! IT WOULD BE A MIRACLE ALEXANDER.

You are the only person who can present such a beautiful watch and do it justice. Admiring this Breguet has increased my heart rate to 28800 bph! (Normal heart beats at 4800 bph)

These are those ticking marvels that make the world of mechanical watchmaking so attractive and fascinating. That's an unparalleled antidote to the beeping digital-0-1-world. I am curious to read you comments!

[@brunoschoelkopf9174]

Super good content, Mr. Linz! This is a piece with a "WOW-EFFECT", one can just admire.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thank you very, very much!

[@kalamoj]

Not a fan of the brand, but this piece is absolutely breathtaking. Thin, skeletonized and still automatic with 80hrs power reserve. Bravo Breguet!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I like your approach and honesty ...

Absolutely stunning. If I owned that watch I'd never take it off.

[@carlosvanvegas]

I thought those shown were yellow gold at first, must be the lighting as I'd known this model to be in rose gold, great video to watch and enjoy

[@WatchAdvisor]

Yes, it was a lighting issue... this was early 2019... meanwhile we learned a lot and we always optimize color reliability as much as we can...

[@lucachinellato5936]

This is wonderful watchmaking! Congratulations

[@WatchAdvisor]

I agree! :-))

[@jumboJetPilot]

Beautiful! Breguet is such a polarizing maker. I’d like to see them make the Marine the way it was back in the 1990’s but with greater dial options. CFB also makes some very nice peripheral rotors on their Manero series.

[@WatchAdvisor]

JumboJetPilot Breguet did not really change its design very much. It would not be a good idea since the brand’s DNA is so strong...

[@jumboJetPilot]

WatchAdvisor The overall DNA of the brand might not have changed much, but the Marine, Breguet’s historical best seller, certainly has. And the newer variants of the Marine have been largely unsuccessful. The Marine has become a model without an identity. Most other KZbinrs, including Tim Mosso, agree 100% with me on my assessment.

[@dragonfly4690]

thank you for your time . i learned something and im sure it will come in handy one day .

[@sntradebd3562]

Really i..i... Love it 💛

[@sntradebd3562]

Badly i want it

[@sandwitch911]

I was so confused about the lack of a clearly visible rotor. What a genius idea that peripheral rotor!

[@WatchAdvisor]

sandwitch911 If correctly designed and manufactured (efficiency/friction/weight) it works like a regular one and offers the full view on the movement.

[@DavidDatura]

Exquisite! My preference would be the rose gold variation here. Mind you that huge empty space to the left of the watch face could of been filled maybe with a second barrel to vastly extend the power reserve and long term accuracy by way of a better controlled release of energy that a two barrel arrangement provides. But that’s nitpicking and an 80 hour power reserve is already impressive for a single barrel tourbillon.

[@WatchAdvisor]

I am sure it will not be the last time Breguet launches such a timepiece. And yes two barrels with a differential in-between could be very interesting ...

[@rogerthomas2132]

magnifique montres merci

[@WatchAdvisor]

Merci! Je suis d'accord!

[@gpearce11]

A truely beautiful piece, however I don’t think I can go past the stunning enamel dial of the “standard” tourbillion extra-phat. If this skeletonised version of the movement was in that enamel dialed watch, I think it might just be the perfect tourbillion dress watch. Alternatively, get this and the 7147 (enamel dial, small-seconds). That way you get your enamel dial and skeletonised tourbillion kicks.

[@WatchAdvisor]

With BREGUET it’s hard to make a decision! All their watches have something particular we like. The skeletonized tourbillon is like an ongoing film on your wrist that shows you every detail of a mechanical movement. With a magnifying glass you can discover everything and figure out who it works...

[@RobLewis3]

The funny thing about watches like this, no matter how good this is on video, is that they look 10x better in person. I wish I could just put it on my wrist for 30 seconds lol

[@WatchAdvisor]

true!

[@escatel6889]

That peripheral rotor! I wonder how serious the power loss is with the reduction in mass.

[@WatchAdvisor]

There is no kind of reduction in mass. The weight of the gold rotor is absolutely sufficient and the gear-train working perfectly smooth to transform your moves to energy for the barrel. This has been calculated and of course proven. breguet would NEVER bring such a watch to the markets if this would not be the case...

[@escatel6889]

WatchAdvisor, I have no doubt that Breguet would be entirely scrupulous in making sure that the rotor was effective. I imagined that some additional wear time might be required to keep the watch wound nonetheless. Certainly worth it though! I’d like to see more rotors like this displaying automatic movements.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Keep poking at it with the sharp metal pointer haha!

[@WatchAdvisor]

No, no! The tip was made out of hard plastic!!!! Not sharp metal!!! I would have never done this!!!!!!!

[@verveblack]

what is the difference between novelty watches and regular watches? what material is the tip of the tool made of that you are using to point?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Novelties are those watches being totally new in the collection of a brand. So those BREGUET I showed were brand new and not yet available for sale. I pointed with a plastic pointer...

[@EX9R]

Can u do a video on Arnold & Son Time Pyramid Tourbillon? It seems that it's a beautiful Tourbillon but 1/4 the price.

you are slightly of with your dates/ It was developed around 1795 and patented by the French-Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet on June 26, 1801.

@@WatchAdvisor It was developed around 1795 not 1801

[@SergeSheyko]

The most beautiful watch has been created up to now. However, could be improved!

[@WatchAdvisor]

What could be improved?

[@SergeSheyko]

@@WatchAdvisor The main problem of skeleton watches is the readability of time by hands on opened mechanism background. From this point of view, the symmetry is more preferable as the free spaces. So, they need to: 1) put the 2nd barrel spring instead of free space, to perform, around central axis, 3 equal size parts: 2 barrels and 1 tourbillon; 2) kinematically, for that, they need to simplify crown winding and time setting gear train; 3) The peripheral rotor is the most elegant solution, but here it is performed only one side winding direction, unreliable ball bearing support of rotor and fragile system of slippage after full winding.

You should apply for a job as engineer & watchmaker at Breguet ... 😉

Just amazing, why would you want to own one when you can have a smart phone tell you the time. The same reason I want a Ferrari V12 and all it's moving parts and the wonderful noise rather than a Tesla. One has a sole and the other doesn't and never will. Alex I hate you, I just got my Black Rolex GMT and for the rest of the day I will look at it and say to it you just a fancy Timex compared to these Breguet's
