Introduced into the Tradition collection, which draws inspiration from the renowned subscription and tact watches developed by the Maison's founder, the "Breguet Blue" now graces the face of the Tradition Chronographe Indépendant 7077, enhancing its modern aesthetic. This colour introduces new contrasts that intensify readability and highlight the technical architecture, offering an unobstructed view of the dual balance wheels in action.

Abraham-Louis Breguet: a pioneer of universal time

From his earliest creations at his Île de la Cité workshop installed in 1775, and his success among the elite, the talented master watchmaker aimed to make time accessible to all. He envisioned producing small series of simple instruments at affordable prices, contrasting with his contemporaries, whose unique pieces were reserved for a select few.

This ambition, which foreshadowed future large-scale commercialization, advertising publications, and industrial production, led him to design the subscription watch in the late 18th century. This quality piece, typically featuring a single hand and large diameter, housed a reliable and precise mechanism that was easy to maintain. It could be acquired by paying a deposit of approximately a quarter of the sale price upon ordering.

This intent to democratize time through a minimalist model culminated over two centuries later, with the 2005 launch of the Tradition collection. These watches transparently showcase their metallic architecture of bridges and gears on the dial, akin to a kinetic art piece.

Tradition Chronographe Indépendant 7077: the balance of duality

With its impressive geometric appearance, particularly the symmetrical design of its displays and dual balance wheels, this reference also boasts innovative mechanics, conceived and patented by Breguet, within the manual-winding calibre 580DR.

A symmetry accented by "Breguet blue"

Despite its seemingly complex appearance, the symmetrical design of this 44mm diameter and 14.1mm thick watch offers remarkably efficient readability with perfectly arranged elements.

At 12 o'clock, the hours and minutes are indicated by two rhodium-plated Breguet open-tipped hands on a "Breguet Blue" gold dial, engine-turned by hand with a Clous de Paris pattern, surrounded by white Roman numerals.

     Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO    

 Two overlapping arcs are present on this dial: on the left, the chronograph's 20-minute counter, driven by the central chronograph hand; and on the right, the power reserve indicator.

     Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

At the bottom of the movement, encircled by a "Breguet Blue" inner bezel and flanked by the two balance wheels at 8 and 4 o'clock, a small rhodium-plated arrow indicates whether the chronograph function is "ON" or "OFF" .

Two independent gear trains

In a conventional chronograph, measuring elapsed time provides immediate visualization of the desired function, however its implementation poses an additional mechanical challenge, as activating this function can disrupt the main gear trains. 

     Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This issue is absent in Breguet's Tradition Chronographe Indépendant 7077, due to the two entirely separate gear trains within the manual-winding calibre 580DR.

     Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The first gear train, responsible for hours and minutes, is regulated by a balance wheel oscillating at a gentle frequency of 3Hz, visible on the right side of the dial beneath the power reserve indicator, which offers a 55-hour reserve. The second gear train operates at a high frequency of 5Hz, enhancing stability and ensuring precise chronograph readings. 

     Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

With this frequency, the chronograph achieves exceptional precision, allowing timing to the tenth of a second, ensuring high reliability for short-time measurements— a testament to the ongoing advancements pushing the boundaries of mechanical timekeeping precision.

Two distinct energy sources

Typically, a second gear train necessitates an additional barrel, requiring more space and the winding of both the chronograph and timekeeping barrels. In the Tradition Chronographe Indépendant 7077, Breguet employs a single barrel with a spring perfectly suited for the chronograph function.

     Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The energy required for the chronograph is supplied when the reset function is activated and is stored in a flexed blade spring. This reserve lasts up to 20 minutes, ideal for short-time measurements, and ensures instant chronograph start-up, as the available energy is always at its peak. A non-concentric gear is paired with the blade spring to smooth the torque, achieving constant amplitude and chronograph operation. This blade spring-gear system is patented by Breguet.

Detailed controls

The chronograph function of this white gold-cased Tradition model is operated by two screw-down pushers, preventing unintended activation. Unlike other chronographs, the pusher at 4 o'clock on the fluted case band starts the timing, while the other stops and resets it.

     Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Activating the reset function flexes and arms the blade spring, preparing the chronograph for a new measurement. The titanium balance wheel is equipped with two stop systems: the first, operated by a cam, releases the balance wheel at the chronograph's start and holds it at stop; the second halts the balance wheel when insufficient energy remains for complete operation. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 Thus, the balance wheel is always in the optimal position, achieving its amplitude instantly. This innovative mechanism is patented. Features reminiscent of the Tradition collection's historical roots include the patented pare-chute shock protection and the control system of the "chronometer with double seconds, known as observation," Reference 4009, sold by Breguet on January 6, 1825.

A complication as exceptional as this is mesmerising, the Equation Marchante records the difference between local time - the time that punctuates our daily lives - and solar time - the time dictated by the earth’s rotation relative to the sun. 

Featuring a perpetual calendar and a tourbillon, this Marine piece is made in platinum, a rare and durable precious metal renowned for its remarkable resistance to corrosion and enduring brilliance.

Abraham-Louis Breguet, Watchmaker to the Royal Navy

The origins of the contemporary collection trace back to the prestigious title "Watchmaker to the French Royal Navy" awarded to Abraham-Louis Breguet, founder of the eponymous workshop in 1775, by Louis XVIII on October 27th, 1815, a year after he was appointed a member of the Board of Longitude.

It enabled him to design marine chronometers, indispensable precision tools for astronomical navigation, and to calculate the position of ships in a fleet.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ FOTO

Montres Breguet's rich heritage, which connects the House to the oceans and navigation, has paved the way for the Marine collection, a family of timepieces with a sporty silhouette and signature aesthetics that clearly evoke the codes of the marine world: a dial decorated with a hand guilloché "wave" motif, a crown guard with an undulating profile, a hand finished with an anchor among other distinctive features.

Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887, ambassador of Breguet expertise

This highly technical timepiece, featuring three mechanical high complications: the running equation of time, perpetual calendar, and tourbillon, - driven by the self-winding Calibre 581DPE, embodies the spirit of innovation that has characterised the brand since its inception.

Equation Marchante

This exceptional complication simultaneously displays the difference between mean solar time (calendar hours and minutes) and true solar time (used since ancient times, it can maximally deviate by up to 14 minutes late or 16 minutes early) thanks to an equation of time cam linked to a feeler to drive the equation lever.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

With the Marine 5887, reading the time is instantaneous thanks to its two minute hands: one Breguet-style with a luminescent tip for calendar time, and the other, finished with a gold plated, diamond polished and fluted ring, for solar time.

Perpetual calendar

Acting like a mechanical diary, this complication indicates the date with an anchor-shaped retrograde hand that follows an arc-shaped scale, graduated from 1 to 31, located in the upper part of the dial. The day, month and leap year are displayed in two open windows at 10.30 and 1.30. This information is detailed in white on a black background for easy legibility.

Tourbillon

Created by Abraham-Louis Breguet, patented in 1801 to counter the adverse effects of gravity on the running of mechanical movements in pocket watches, features a titanium cage and a Breguet balance-spring made in silicon at around 5 o'clock.   

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

 

To enhance the functionalities of the Marine Equation Marchante 5887, a blued gauge positioned between 7 and 8.30 o’clock provides information on the level of stored energy available, which amounts to 80 hours when the watch is fully wound.

An engraved platinum peripheral oscillating weight decorated with a "wave" motif wraps around the hand chiselled back of the calibre 581DPE depicting the silhouette of the Royal Louis, a Royal Navy warship commissioned in 1752. The barrel is decorated with a hand engraved compass rose.

Based on the self-winding 581DR calibre, the new Marine Équation Marchante by Breguet also flaunts a third complication that is noteworthy in its own right: a 60-second tourbillon with a titanium carriage housing a Breguet balance with a silicon balance spring. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This innovative characteristic notably enables the balance wheel to achieve a 4Hz frequency, while maintaining a particularly comfortable power reserve for a self-winding model.  This 80-hour autonomy is displayed through an aperture between 7 and 9 o’clock.

Guilloché and engraving are delicate arts, executed by hand by exceptional artisans, true masters of their craft. Each pattern is patiently sculpted, each line traced with infinite precision, breathing unique, almost lifelike character into each timepiece. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

These pieces become much more than mere timepieces: they capture the essence of time and the soul of the artisan, offering a rare luxury — that of wearing an exclusive and inimitable work of art.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The equation of time is one of the rarest and most fascinating horological complications. It serves to display the difference between mean solar time, corresponding to civil or standard hours and minutes, and true solar time, meaning the actual solar hours and minutes. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Since , the sun has been used as the basis of time. Nonetheless, the visible motion of the sun – the true solar time indicated on sundials – is irregular. With the improvement of timekeeping precision, watches and clocks became the basis of time and true solar time was replaced by mean solar time, within which each day has the same duration of exactly 24 hours.

 BREGUET – Sketches illustrating the installation of Marine chronometers aboard ships
---------------------

Mean solar time may show a discrepancy with true solar time ranging from minus 16 minutes to plus 14 minutes. On just four days a year, the two times are exactly the same. Given that the sun’s various positions in the sky are reproduced in an identical manner on the same dates, watchmakers can “program” them by means of a special cam.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ FOTO

The latter is shaped like a figure 8 and mechanically reproduces the path of the sun’s successive positions, called an analemma curve. Requiring extremely accurate execution, the cam is coupled with a feeler-spindle that drives an equation lever serving to indicate the difference between civil time and solar time (-16 to +14 minutes). This read-off is generally provided on a sector or subdial. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

 It is then up to the user to mentally add or subtract the difference displayed in relation to mean time in order to calculate true solar time. The new Marine Équation Marchante from Breguet supersedes this principle. It simultaneously indicates civil time and true time by means of two separate minutes hands. The running solar hand, adorned with a facetted golden sun, provides a direct reading of solar time minutes that is both quicker and more user-friendly.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This apparently simplicity conceals an arduous construction process that few watchmakers are capable of achieving. The solar minutes hand has to meet two imperative demands: it must sweep in a conventional way around the dial, like the civil minutes hand, while also daily moving away from the latter by a distance that varies in accordance with the analemma curve, in order to display the equation.   

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Breguet was able to accomplish this by equipping its running solar hand with a differential gear powered by two rotation sources operating entirely independently: the rotation of civil minutes, and that controlled by the lever in contact with the equation of time cam, which makes one full turn per year. Breguet has developed an extremely slim equation cam borne by a transparent sapphire disc also serving to correct the equation of time by month.

Aesthetic poetry: the open sea under the night sky

Presented in 👉 2017, the Marine Equation Marchante 5887 initially featured a 43.9 mm diameter case available in platinum or pink gold with an ultramarine face. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

 Three years later for the 220th anniversary of the tourbillon, the collection was expanded to include the warm reflections of pink gold combined with a chocolate-coloured dial.

This autumn, Montres Breguet completes the series by choosing the gentle strength of platinum for its fluted case. This precious grey metal is combined with the black hue for the "wave" guilloché dial, evoking the image of an ocean cradled by the silvery glow of the Moon. The complexity that the running equation of time brings to this model is naturally complemented on this “Grande Complication” by a perpetual calendar. Two apertures – one between 10 and 11 o’clock and the other between 1 and 2 o’clock – respectively display the days of the week as well as the months and the leap-year cycle. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The date appears inside the chapter ring by means of a retrograde hand tipped with an anchor motif and sweeping across an arc running from 9 to 3 o’clock. The dial layout of the information has been carefully designed to ensure simple and intuitive linear reading, along with impeccable visual appeal.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

At the centre of this image, four hands play a precise role: the stylised pair of Breguet hands with Super-LumiNova® filled tips indicating the hours and minutes, the hand with a golden circle indicating the solar time, and finally the hand with an anchor indicating the date. Raised blackened gold appliques Roman numerals are set on a wide circular-brushed ring, interspersed with luminescent dots and surmounted by gold hour-markers in the shape of nautical pennants.

A truly magnificent timepiece, the new Marine Équation Marchante by Breguet sets the tone. It features new aesthetic signature codes giving it a modern and dynamic appearance: central lugs combining polished and satin-brushed surfaces; more open fluting, with visible flanks; a crown topped with a polished “B” against a sandblasted background; as well as a crown adorned with a chamfered and satin-brushed wave motif.

The first gold bezel with a bidirectional ring made of ceramic, a material used for the first time in Breguet collections, for this first new-generation Type XX in gold.

Yesterday's inspiration for today's design

Like the versions released in June 2023, this new timepiece draws inspiration from the emblematic watches dating back to the collection’s origins. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Gold was indeed chosen for very rare timepieces in 1955, notably Breguet No. 1780, which now belongs to the Breguet Museum. There were only three gold timepieces in this small series, called either Type 20 (military version) or Type XX (civilian version).

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

As for the bezel contrasting with the case, they appeared on the second generation of Type XXs dating from the 1970s, which were adorned with different graduations such as tachymeter scales, or with GMT indications.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

These historical references blend with the emblematic codes of the civilian Type XX. The 15-minute counter is located at 3 o'clock, the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock and the running seconds at 9 o'clock.

Calibre 728

Released in 2023 after four years of development, the 728 movement was conceived, developed and finalised within the Manufacture Breguet. It is of course equipped with a "flyback" function. Prior to its creation, three operations were required instead of just one. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The new calibre's innovative start and reset systems have been designed to ensure that they can be used smoothly and accurately. Whatever function is used, the pressure exerted on the pushers is even and balanced. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

As for the vertical clutch mechanism, it was chosen for its precision upon starting. Finally, to ensure the robustness of the movement and guarantee its precision in the event of shocks, the Maison opted for a cross-through bridge to hold the balance wheel in place.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Designed to take up as much of the space available in the movement as possible, the barrel providing the energy is fitted with a spring whose high-energy-density material provides a longer 60-hour power reserve.

The sapphire crystal caseback reveals not only the details of the movement but also its oscillating weight. The blackened gold oscillating weight is shaped like an aircraft wing and engraved with the Breguet logo.

The Type XX epic, a journey through time

As early as 1949, Breguet – which had long been closely involved in aeronautical circles – developed chronographs with the famous special function that was soon named "flyback". 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This considerably simplified the use of the chronograph, thanks to the reset function that instantly restarted the chronograph at the touch of a pusher, a time-saver much appreciated by pilots. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In 1952, Breguet was informed that a bid for tender was going to be organised by the French Air Force and submitted models to the Service Technique Aéronautique. In the spring of 1953, these models were approved under the name Type 20. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This paved the way for official orders placed and in 1954, the long-hoped-for order arrived: a very large one involving 1,100 units for the French Air Force, followed in 1958 by a 500-unit order for the French Naval Aviation.

At the same time, Breguet began selling many civil Type XXs, a trend that would continue for several decades. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The first civilian Type XXs were sold in 1953. Since then, different generations have come and gone. Some were innovative, like the Type XXII, reference 3880, with a different 10 hertz frequency.
