breguet 258 classique moon phase price

Breguet watches enjoyed great success at the first edition of The Watches Days exhibition, which brought together around 50 watch brands in Geneva from November 12th to 14th. The Grand Prix du Public 2010, of which the laureates were chosen by around 4,000 voters without the intervention of a jury, awarded the 1st prize in the Men's Watch category to the Tradition Tourbillon Fus��e in platinum with Breguet balance-spring in silicon (Ref: 7047PT). Breguet's ladies' watch, the Reine de Naples Sonnerie au Passage (Ref: 8978BB) was also greatly appreciated and won 3rd prize in the Ladies' Watch category.Breguet Tradition 7047PT/11/9ZU This Grande Complication model in the Tradition line features the first ever Breguet overcoil balance-spring in silicon, with tourbillon and fusee-and-chain transmission. This exceptional watch, reflecting the architecture of the first tourbillon pocket-watches invented by Breguet, is presented in a platinum version and features a movement coated with a special anthracite-coloured metal alloy. The fusee-and-chain transmission, connected to the barrel, serves to guarantee constant force throughout the running of the watch. Several patents have been filed for the large tourbillon positioned at 1 o'clock, including one relating to a titanium balance and three for the Breguet balance-spring in silicon. Another patent has been granted for the power-reserve indication placed directly on the barrel. The Manufacture Breguet is particularly proud of this new model. Breguet is indeed in the vanguard of research and development, and does not merely invent but is also capable of implementing the technical developments in watches that are delivered rapidly and in non-limited production runs.Reine de Naples 8978BB/58/974 D00DThis year, Breguet celebrated the 200th anniversary of the creation of the first wristwatch ordered from Breguet by Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples. On this occasion, the brand has parented the first Grande Complication model in the Reine de Naples collection dedicated exclusively to women. The sonnerie au passage or automatic striking "in passing" is a sophisticated complication that serves to chime each full hour by two strokes repeated three times. It provides a graceful and discreet reminder of the passing of time. A pushpiece at 2 o'clock serves to stop this function if required. This new oval-shaped movement, in-house made by the Manufacture Breguet, was specially designed for women and elegantly combines the technical feat of an automatic striking function with the beauty of an entirely hand-engraved and decorated movement. Alongside the usual technical requirements, the movement design also took account of aesthetics and of the results of the fundamental research undertaken by the Manufacture Breguet on the acoustics of striking and repeater watches. The design of the bridges, of the oscillating weight and of the decorative motifs form the shape of a dove in full flight, which may be admired through the sapphire crystal case-back. The white mother-of-pearl dial is framed by a white gold case with an entirely diamond-set bezel. The striking hammers, amongst which a diamond indicates the activation of the striking in passing function, are visible in the upper part of the dial between 11 and 1 o'clock.http://www.thewatchesdays.ch

At Baselworld 2011, Breguet unveiled its new Classique 5717 Hora Mundi watch. It follows the steps of the first Hora Mundi watch born in 1996.The novelty is sculptured from 18K red gold or 950 platinum and demonstrates exceptional finishes. It catches the glance by its translucent lacquered dial. The dial shows off hours, minutes and seconds with help of central hands. The date is presented at 12 o'clock, while the city or time-zone indicator is at 6 o'clock. The large day/night display is featured between 3 and 4 o'clock. The dial of the new Breguet watch has been created in three variations, each depicting one part of the world: the Americas, the European and African continents, or Asia and Oceania. The complicated Breguet watch represents the first mechanical timepiece that boasts an instant-jump time-zone display with synchronized date, day/night and city indications. Due to this function, the watch shows the time in two pre-selected time zones (from among the cities listed for the 24 time zones) and the watch wearer can instantly change from one time zone to the other pressing the combined crown/pushpiece at 8 o'clock. The accurate operation of the watch is not disturbed due to a stop second system. As for the date, it gets synchronized with help of a "tracking" calendar system. The Breguet Classique 5717 Hora Mundi watch is also special due to its highly original date display that incorporates a dragging disc. It is presented via a window at 12 o'clock. The window shows three consecutive dates at once. To make the date reading as clear as possible, the dragging calendar system has been fitted with a tiny retrograde hand that is found beneath the dial and has in a small circle at its tip. The circle frames the today's date the moment it appears at the left side of the window, and until it disappears at the right. At midnight, the tiny hand jumps back to the left side to frame the date of the beginning day. The heart of the new Hora Mundi watch is the 5717 self-winding mechanical movement. The 43-jewel mechanism is based on Calibre 777. The remarkable mechanism boasts four patent-pending features: for a watch with a mechanism with two time zones; for the display of a time zone on demand via the main set of hands; for a programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel for a watch; for a mechanism for displaying a temporal dimension with help of a dragging hand. The 44 mm case of the new Breguet watch is 30-meter water-resistant. The case construction incorporates a thin, rounded bezel, a middle part with fluted sides, added soldered strap lugs and a sapphire crystal case-back. The Breguet Classique 5717 Hora Mundi watch is presented on an alligator leather strap.
