Today is the anniversary of the day Abraham-Louis Breguet received the patent for his wondrous tourbillion invention. It is also known as Tourbillion Day. During the lifetime of Breguet, 35 watches were created featuring a tourbillion. Now as of 2018 there are only 10 left that survived. As Breguet celebrate the 217th anniversary, there are numerous events and parties at the brand’s boutiques in Beverley Hills, Las Vegas, New York, Taipei, and Zurich for the watch enthusiast community.
At this year’s Baselworld we have seen a new tourbillion released by Breguet. That is the Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique 5367. The new timepiece features everything a Breguet classic would have, an off-centered dial, Breguet numerals, and of course the amazing tourbillion. The crisp blue hour and minute hands contrast beautifully with the 18k rose gold or platinum and a chocolate hue fluted case-band.
