breguet 5817st/y2/5v8 usato

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

Breguet watches are amongst the most beautiful and luxurious watches in the world. Breguet watches are real great. But the price is so high. There are many replica breguet watches in the market. Why so many breguet replica watches in the market? Because the breguet brand is one of the oldest watch brand. The history of horology in the 18th century would not be complete without the probably greatest genius of watch*** that ever lived, Abraham Louis Breguet. If Breguet holds a special place in our cultural heritage, it is because its founder, A.-L. Breguet (1747-1823), set the standard by which all fine watch*** has since been judged. Today, his heirs at Breguet still make each watch as a model of supreme horological art. A.-L. Breguet was born in Neuchâtel, but it was in Paris that he spent most of his productive life. No aspect of watch*** escaped his study, and his inventions were as fundamental to horology as they were varied. His career started with a series of breakthroughs: the development of the successful self-winding perpétuelle watches, the introduction of the gongs for repeating watches and the first shock-protection for balance pivots. Louis XVI and his Queen, Marie-Antoinette, were early enthusiasts of Breguet's watch***. Each watch from his workshops demonstrated the latest horological improvements in an original movement, mostly fitted with lever or ruby-cylinder escapements that he perfected. A.-L. Breguet took refuge in Switzerland from the excesses of the French Revolution. He returned to Paris overflowing with the ideas that produced the Breguet balance-spring, his first carriage clock (sold to Bonaparte), the sympathique clock and its dependent watch, the tact watch, and finally the tourbillon, patented in 1801. Breguet became the indispensable watchmaker to the scientific, military, financial and diplomatic elites of the age. His timepieces ruled the courts of Europe. For his most distinguished clients, Breguet designed his most remarkable piece, anticipating the wristwatch by two centuries for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, in 1810. Honours saluted his enormous contribution to horology. Appointed to the Board of Longitude and as chronometer-maker to the navy, he entered the Academy of Sciences and received the Legion of Honour from the hands of Louis XVIII. When he died in 1823, all mourned the architect of the greatest revolution in the science and art of time-keeping. Breguet is now owned by the Swatch group and is the favourite brand of the chairman, Nicolas Hayek. He is credited with revitalising the luxury Swiss watch brand by focusing on price and style. Incredibly, these brands have been less affected by the GEC than the rest of the watch market. In August, 2009, diamond-encrusted "double tourbillon" watches that cost about $710,000.00 US were selling out as soon as they reached the country's shores! The real breguet watch is expensive. But breguet replica watch is cheap. There are so many replica breguet watch on our website (http://www.topmywatches.com).
