breguet marine automatic big date mens wristwatch replica

Five, Four, Three, Two ... As time winds down to the New Year, Breguet, the exclusive timepiece of the New York Philharmonic, is preparing to auction a masterpiece; the Breguet Classique 5157. The Swiss-watch brand is auctioning the timepiece to benefit the New York Philharmonic's School Partnership Program. Bidding will begin at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, Dec. 30, 2010, and close at midnight January 15th, 2011. The watch will be auctioned through the eBay Giving Works site, but until then visitors can receive information on the Avery Fisher Hall Grand Promenade during New York Philharmonic concerts, where two iPads will be stationed with pictures of the watch. Visitors are welcome to use the iPads to bid on the watch, which will be on display at the new Breguet flagship location, 711 Fifth Ave in New York City. The 18-carat yellow gold timepiece is the same model as the one worn by New York Philharmonic Music Director Alan Gilbert. It is a 38mm, extra-thin Classique wristwatch which features a self-winding movement, silvered gold dial hand-engraved on a rose engine. It also has a sapphire caseback and is water-resistant up to 30m. Breguet, which has collaborated with many prestigious classical music institutions, is excited for this opportunity to support the School Partnership Program through the New York Philharmonic. The brand has been expanding its cultural ties in the U.S. in recent years by working with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2007 and most recently sponsoring the New York Philharmonic's Opening Night Gala. And in just a few days, Breguet will support the all- Tchaikovsky New Year's Eve concert on Dec. 31, 2010. The School Partnership Program is geared to promote students' creativity and understanding of music through the experience of symphonic music. Its nationally recognized program builds long-term relationships between the New York Philharmonic and select public schools in New York City. Students study great musical works, attend live performances of the New York Philharmonic and compose music of their own; opportunities students may not otherwise receive. In addition, they develop focused listening skills, performance skills on recorder, musical literacy both symbolic and verbal, strategies for group work, knowledge of cultural history and a personal relationship to the art of music. "Breguet's generous gesture of support could not be more timely," said New York Philharmonic Director of Education Theodore Wiprud. "When music education is under more stress than ever, the Philharmonic's School Partnership Program makes high-quality instruction part of every child's life in our partner schools. This gift helps keep the Philharmonic's connection with schools strong." The winning bidder will also receive New York Philharmonic membership benefits at the appropriate level.

The Marine 5837 was introduced in 2007 as the first tourbillon watch with a silicon escapement. The use of this highly innovative material for the balance-spring, escapement wheel and lever made it possible to create a tourbillon that was light, and therefore highly shock resistant; non-magnetic; and require no lubricants. The use of titanium for the tourbillon carriage also made the entire watch lighter.The combination of this prestigious complication, invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet, with a chronograph function, marked the birth of an exceptional timepiece. Here it is presented as a High Jewellery version in which Breguet's watch*** and jewellery expertise intersect. It has a case measuring 43 mm in diameter, fully paved with baguette-cut diamonds. The lugs and the space between, casebands, flat su***ces of the pushpieces, and sides of the crown are all paved. The ultimate expression of this is the bezel, which is set with trapeze-cut diamonds arranged in staggered rows. The entire piece boasts 186 gems totalling about 11.77 carats. The silvered solid gold dial is hand engraved on a rose engine in the Breguet tradition, in this case with a "wave" pattern, a motif that also rims the chapter ring. The dial is set with 132 full-cut diamonds, about 0.356 carat in all. The buckle, set with 58 diamonds totalling 0.23 carat, completes this masterpiece.The Marine Tourbillon High Jewellery watch marks yet another exceptional achievement by Breguet.All informations about the watch fair: BASELWORLD
