A lighter case
ORANGE NANO CARBONE

Based on this new concept, the «DANI PEDROSA CARBON», sober and elegant at once, sculpted by the latest technology, generated by different stages of vacuum castings, where the nano fibers are arranged randomly, according to a specific mix, composed of carbon nano-fibers (black) and colored orange REPSOL glass fibers and a binder made of epoxy resins.

Fabrication Process

An autoclave oven at controlled temperature and atmosphere induces a vacuum, to remove all forms of air bubbles from the mold, either in the resin mixture, as in layering of the fibers, to obtain, a homogeneous and compact mass of material, obtained after processing through the cooking process. At the end of each batch, all the pieces have their own aesthetic comparable to fingerprints in humans ... we'd be pushed to tell as each piece is UNIQUE!!!

A desing inspired in then Racing World

Other elements of the watch render hommage to the exploits of the champion and the captivating world of racing:

•    The crown suggests the wheel élégamment le volant moteur d’une moto.
•    Both solid pushers evoque the brake and clutch handles.

Dial: design and precision

The NANO ORANGE CARBON case contains a three-dimensional multilayer dial skeleton, which wears: at 9 o’clock, a hand-painted logo identical to that appearing on the helmet of champion, it is equipped with a Samurai his sabre and a pacifier.

Inspired and captivated by the philosophy of the Samurai warrior, Dani Pedrosa has chosen to make it his logo at the age of 13, early in his career. He was the youngest driver in the circuit, and it was then that he decided to add a pacifier to the paraphernalia of his Samurai warrior. The latter represents the image of the child in every one of us, and helps to recall the beginnings of the pilot and his own passion for this sport.

BREGUET – Tradition 7087 Repétition Minutes Tourbillon Rose Gold

BREGUET – Tradition 7087 Répétition Minutes Tourbillon Rose Gold 2016

In 2015, the Manufacture Breguet unveiled the result of several years of fundamental research in the field of acoustics. With the truly revolutionary model, Tradition Répétition Minutes Tourbillon 7087, Breguet was taking on a previously unmet challenge: developing a timepiece around a predetermined sound.

Through this resolutely pioneering approach, Breguet became the first to create a model with such an exceptionally pure sound and unprecedented tone. Today, the Tradition Répétition Minutes Tourbillon returns to the forefront after undergoing certain adjustments intended to improve its sound and its performance. It is now being presented in its finalised form and will reach the markets by the end of the year.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...                          BIG FOTO

Representing much more than a Grande Complication model, the Tradition Répétition Minutes Tourbillon 7087 is a collection of innovations. To create this exceptional watch, Breguet’s engineers devoted themselves first and foremost to scientific research and only subsequently addressed the issue of the components required for sound production. Using specially developed sound generators, they experimented with more than 200,000 combinations of frequencies, which they then classified into categories according to psychoacoustic criteria. The sounds were listened to and evaluated so as to determine the combination of notes that best met the development objectives. The choice made after this selection process then guided the development and the construction of the model. This unprecedented approach, along with an understanding and mastery of the parameters involved in sound production, determined the choice of every aspect of the timepiece, from the innovations that were to be integrated through to the choice of components. The Tradition Répétition Minutes Tourbillon can pride itself on six new patents and five major new innovative elements never previously seen in a wristwatch repetition mechanism.

The gong springs – a Breguet invention and an essential part of minute repeater mechanisms – have been entirely reworked. Generally coiled around the movement and horizontally struck by hammers, they have in this instance been attached to the bezel and vertically struck by the hammers. This innovative construction is based on the fact that the sapphire crystal and bezel enable optimal sound emission when they vibrate vertically. By striking the gongs vertically from the movement towards the bezel, the hammers enhance the transmission of the vibrations towards radiating elements and then through the air. The structure of the hammers also features an innovation. The hammer causes the gong spring to vibrate. To prevent the hammer rebounding and damping the vibration of the gong, traditional minute repeaters are equipped with a buffer spring. The disadvantage of these constructions is that they partially reduce the hammer’s force. To solve these problems, Breguet has invented a semi-active buffer which becomes active after the strike so as to avoid a double strike, and thereby maximises the energy injected into the gongs by the strike.

The gong springs of this Tradition Répétition Minutes Tourbillon are also distinctive in that they are shaped like lobes in dimensions specially designed to enrich the sound and extend its duration. Based on the acoustic research conducted by Breguet for more than ten years, the gong springs are made from the same rose or white gold alloy as the case and then rhodium-plated. In order to favour the transmission of the minute repeater’s vibrations, they have been attached to the watch bezel. The latter, rather than rigidly formed into the case, is fitted with three pillars that are themselves attached to the case. Given that these pillars enjoy a certain freedom of movement, the bezel and the sapphire crystal can vibrate in resonance with the gongs. The sound emitted is thus enriched, since the bezel and the crystal more readily transmit lower frequencies, while the case tends to ensure better propagation of higher ones.

Like the Classique La Musicale 7800 model, this new Tradition 7087 features an acoustic chamber built into the case – technically termed a Heimholz cavity – whose role is to increase the sound level of the minute repeater while filtering the sounds from the mechanism. This chamber can be glimpsed through eight small holes arrayed on the lower bezel encircling the caseback. It is shaped for the resonant frequencies of the desired sounds. In this model the cavity is rectangular in profile and encircles the movement, from which it is separated by a membrane designed to seal the movement from the outside air. Contrary to the 7800 model that featured a metallic glass membrane, this one is made of gold and affixed to a sapphire crystal providing a stunning view of the movement.

These impressive innovations are complemented by the use of a magnetic strike governor, developed on the basis of a concept featured in the Classique La Musicale model. This patented system is composed of silver weights surrounded by magnets placed around the circumference of the strike governor. As they turn within this magnetic environment, the weights produce an electric current that runs counter to the magnetic field of the magnets. The faster the rotation, the greater the resistance; and conversely, the slower the rotation, the weaker the resistance. The result is a device that ensures constant rotation speed, since both acceleration and braking meet with counter-resistance of identical intensity. The use of a magnetic governor brings an added advantage: silence. Since the mechanical elements do not touch each other, this exclusive Breguet governor is perfectly silent. Unlike the magnetic governor of La Musicale which remains hidden from sight, the decorated and open-worked version on the Tradition Répétition Minutes Tourbillon is placed in full view on the dial side of the watch. It has also been the subject of much calculation and optimisation to adapt it to the minute repeater mechanism. The titanium used to make the bridges and the mainplate of the Tradition, along with appropriate sizing of the components, serves to avoid propagating the noises from the striking mechanism, by filtering their transmission through to the exterior.

Above and beyond these exceptional technical characteristics, the Tradition Répétition Minutes Tourbillon 7087 is also a tribute to Breguet’s long history. It is thus naturally equipped with a tourbillon, along with an automatic winding peripheral rotor system. The striking mechanism is activated by pressing a bayonet pusher instead of by pulling the customary dedicated slide. The energy required is delivered via a chain – a transmission mode reminiscent of the famous No. 160 pocket watch made for the queen of France, Marie-Antoinette, and re-issued by Breguet in 2008.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...           BIG FOTO

The Heritage Pilot Café Racer proudly takes its place in this iconic line composed of sleek, powerful watches. Its virile charm and well-built mechanism infuse it with the “Café Racer” spirit: when speed and getting away from it all are synonymous with independence and authenticity.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...           BIG FOTO

A WIND OF FREEDOM

It aunts an original, sturdy style with a retro feel. Beneath its bodywork throbs a high-performance ‘engine’. The Heritage Pilot Café Racer is inspired by the ‘Café Racer’ bikers movement born in England in the 1920s.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...           BIG FOTO

Its young, rebellious fans wanted a motorcycle that was both fast (up to 160km/h) and customised, enabling them to ride from café to café on the British motorways.

(5) DIAL

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...                       BIG FOTO

•     SUPPLY

This section determines:

    Power reserve indication
    Winding of the barrels
    Time setting

Key elements:

CLAMP ROD: A unique piece that replaces four components (trigger piece, humper, lever, lever spring) and ensures the transition between the winding of the barrels and the time setting.

TORQUE LIMITING SYSTEM: Anti-breakage system, which has a free return function.

• ENERGY SUPPLY

    Two barrels ensure constancy in the supply

(Analogy with the two fuel tanks of a Bugatti car)

    Series-coupled barrels with a “triangular coupling” innovation:

    Barrel 1 is directly combined with barrel 2
    Consequently, the energy supply is even more constant

• TRAIN WHEEL

Function: Energy transmission from the barrel to the escapement

    Axial configuration instead of flat
    The classical reduction ratio (alternation of Wheel-Pinion-Wheel-Pinion) is no longer used

The transmission is ensured by a planetary gear, which consists of a central wheel, three satellites and a fixed toothed crown

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...                       BIG FOTO

There are three series of planetary gears that enable together:

    The reduction ratio function
    Transmission of the torque
    The centring of the force at each level

• TOURBILLON

    Flying tourbillon 60 seconds which diameter defines that of the whole concentric tube.
    4 Hz – very rare for a tourbillon ; great inertia of the balance wheel
    Excellent power to weight ratio: very light yet resistant materials. Enables optimal adjustments and compatibility with the COSC standards.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...                       BIG FOTO

• DIAL

The link with the dial occurs at the level of the central planetary gears (Transmission section)

Recovery of the torque and transposition by means of a worm screw (an exceptional element for a wristwatch), which enables:

    Angle function : the energy switches to a new plane and exits the closed tubular circuit, thus allowing a dial-display
    Anti-return system: irreversible mechanism, maintaining the hands’ original position
    Robust and reliable mechanism
