Each thing has its source, Breguet watches are no exception. Breguet Watches are very famous, it has a long history, and now we have to introduce its history Breguet is a manufacturer of luxury watches, founded by Abraham Louis Breguet in Paris in 1775. Currently part of The Swatch Group, its timepieces are now (since 1976) produced in the Vallée de Joux in Switzerland. Breguet is one of the oldest surviving watch-making establishments and is the pioneer of numerous watch-making technologies, the most notable being the tourbillon, invented by Abraham Louis Breguet. Breguet has recently introduced a line of writing instruments as a tribute to writers who mention or feature Breguet watches in their works. Breguet watches are often easily recognized for their coin-edge cases, guilloché dials and blue pomme hands (often now referred to as 'Breguet hands').The history of horology in the 18th century would not be complete without the probably greatest genius of watchmaking that ever lived, Abraham Louis Breguet. Among his numerous inventions, the best-known are the Breguet spiral, found until today in every quality watch and wristwatch, and the tourbillon, the whirlwind - an ingenious device that Breguet invented to compensate for gravity influences on the balance spring in pocket watches. Among his other inventions were a new striking mechanism for repeaters, a new escapement, the so-called echappement naturel, similar to the chronometer escapement (1789), in 1790, the parachute shock protection system, the cylinder escapement with a ruby cylinder, and improvements of Perrelet's automatic winding mechanism, implemented in his around forty Perpetuelles. Furthermore, Breguet made what we consider today as the first Grande Complication in the history of horology, the watch known as the Marie-Antoinette. This watch was commissioned by the French queen's guard Monsieur de la Croizette with the explicit order that it should contain all known complications and the greatest possible number of parts made of gold. There were no restrictions as to the time for making the watch or the price. This watch was only finished in 1827 which means that neither the unfortunate queen (Marie-Antoinette was guillotined in 1793) nor the master watchmaker himself (Breguet died in 1823) ever saw the completed watch. The Marie-Antoinette was a self-winding watch with a perpetual calendar, equation of time indication and a minute repeater. It has disappeared since 1983 when it was stolen from the Jerusalem Institute of Islamic Art Breguet watches have high quality. You will never regret Watchmaking machinery has undergone quick improvements with the development of the latest technology. A lot of name watch brands are striving to get inspiration from their quintessential tradition and undertake innovative creation to produce more watches of excellence for the public. An impeccable demonstration of Breguet's tradition and innovation is the Breguet Tradition 7037. Featuring vintage characteristics, the tradition 7037 surpasses time and space limit. With gilding technique that was quite prevalent in pocket watches in the 18th and 19th century, it is quite easy to appreciate its inner beauty and outside through apparent and skeletoned design. Like its predecessor Tradition 7027, Tradition 7037 features a hand-wound mechanical movement lined up both sides of its mainsplate and embellished by sapphire crystal glass at front and back. The most glittering portion of the watch is the central barrel which Breguet spent four years to develop. Moreover, the Breguet two-layer hairspring matches the Pare-Chute shock absorber so splendidly that it creates an aesthetic feeling. For most watchmakers it is natural trend to demonstrate the movement operation through hollow-out and apparent dial. However, Tradition 7037 chooses a different way out: By meticulously arranging the spare parts and three-dimensional structures, the movement and the dial display pith of Breguet mechanical watch with an enriching history of over 230 years. As a matter of fact, the present of movement is destined to turn into the spot of dial other than merely removing the dial structure. Inspired by Breguet NO.28 perpetuelle repeating watch, the gilded dial keeps record of time in an elegant manner. There is no incontrovertibility that Tradition 7037 does displays Breguet's quintessential machinery and artistic design to perfection. Hope you enjoy the gorgeous timepiece.
