Breguet’s Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 Features Its First-Ever Aventurine Enamel Dial

Summary

  • Breguet unveils the limited-edition Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255, marking its 250th anniversary
  • It features the Maison’s first aventurine enamel dial and flying tourbillon
  • The Calibre 187M1 movement creates a floating, celestial timekeeping spectacle

The recently revealed Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 by Breguet signifies a significant milestone during their 250th anniversary festivities. Only 50 of these timepieces will be produced, honoring an important moment in horological development – June 26, 1801, when Abraham-Louis Breguet was given the original patent for his innovative tourbillon creation.

For the first time ever in Breguet’s prestigious past, the dial of this watch is exquisitely made from aventurine enamel. The deep blue hue is adorned with sparkling copper specks, vividly reflecting the allure and mystery of the night sky. This complex method involves multiple high-temperature firings to produce a dial that combines technical excellence with visual poetry. Due to its handcrafted nature, no two dials are exactly the same, highlighting the unique character of each piece in this exclusive collection.

Within the intricately crafted 38mm, 18K Breguet gold casing lies the hand-wound Calibre 187M1 movement, meticulously designed with a floating tourbillon at its core. This tourbillon, positioned 2.2 mm above the main plate and 0.9 mm above the enamel dial, gives the impression of hovering – an effect achieved through a gold base and concealed tourbillon bezel beneath the surface. The outcome is a captivating spectacle of balance and symmetry, a celestial-inspired horological constellation brought to life.

To complement this masterpiece, Breguet’s signature elements are incorporated, such as a Quai de l’Horloge guilloché caseback and unique gold alloy. The blend of tradition, innovation, and celestial inspiration is evident in every detail. For further insights, explore Breguet’s official website.
