Breguet Just Released 3 New Watches Made Using Centuries-Old Techniques

The COVID-19 pandemic has largely halted production in the Swiss watch industry, but it hasn't stopped new models that were already in the pipeline from being released Exhibit A: On March 17, Breguet unveiled three new wristwatches-two from its dressy Classique collection and one from the sporty Marine line-that bolster the brand's reputation for making exceptionally elegant timepieces The Classique 7137 and 7337 share a number of commonalities: Both wristwatches come in 39 mm cases; they both feature a moon phase display with an embossed moon; and they both come equipped with an extra-thin automatic movement.

Both models are available in a classic rose gold edition that comes with a silvered gold dial, as well as a more contemporary white gold edition with a gold dial in "Breguet blue." The Marine collection, on the other hand, welcomes a grand complication, the Marine Tourbillon Équation Marchante 5887, with a refined new look: It now comes in rose gold with a slate gray gold dial In deference to the Marine collection's explicit connection to the sea, the model features a guilloche-peaked wave motif in the center of the dial as well as a finely-detailed depiction of an ancient flagship of the French Navy, the Royal Louis, hand-carved across the bridges of the movement The Classique 7137 white gold and rose gold editions are each priced at $40,000, while the Classique 7337 is $43,000 in both white gold and rose gold.
