Breguet Classique Alarm "Le Reveil du Tsar" 5707BB/12/9V6 Breguet Watch Review

[@edwardsauve4836]

One of the oldest watch companies in the world operating since the 18th century , that's some succesful business model .

[@rnunez70681]

Actually is not. Breguet began in 1775, Vacheron in 1755, and Blancpain in 1735. Although Blancpain was not producing watches for a few decades in the middle of the last century, it is considered the oldest surviving watchmaking brand today.

Breguet is amazing!

The guilloche dial on this piece is incredible. I never understand why Patek and Lange use a pin buckle clasp on some of their pieces. At this price point it should be deployant only.

[@lvdb85]

Don't agree. A lot harder to view and appreciate the fine movement finishing when taking the watch off and turning it around with a deployant clasp getting in the way (undoing is often finicky and not recommended doing regularly)! So you see a pin buckle on watches with the finest hand finished movement from Lange but also much finer finishing and more expensive pieces (for time only) from Akrivia, Dufour, Kari Voutilainen etc. I like a deployant on watches to help balance the weight and security but I still prefer to have an easier unobstructed view on a fine movement. They make most sense on closed gold or platinum cases, where there is nothing to see and more weight to balance.

[@niwa957]

Don't think so. It strictly depends on the type of watch. Strange that you really think a pin buckle represents cheapness.

[@stevegarthwaite9429]

@@niwa957 Lange has exhibition casebacks with beautiful finishing on almost every piece im aware of yet only some have a full deployant. What types are you referring to? And what would be the reason.

[@niwa957]

@@stevegarthwaite9429 This is strictly a matter of taste, not an argument. To illustrate what I think: A slender, delicate, Calatrava 5227 is the perfect pin buckle watch. The rather outlandish A. Lange & Soehne Lange Zeitwerk Minute Repeater or the beautiful Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time are perfect deployant clasp watches.

[@niwa957]

Brilliant watch. The usual ultra-conservative Breguet design that is so appealing in certain watches. But unfortunately lumed hands wouldn't fit with that watch type, so it's not for me.

Beaty. Love it

That alarm doesn’t sound right. Other 5707s I have heard are much more sonorous. It would be helpful to review another one, Tim.

The dial is completely ridiculous.
