Feel the pinnacle of Craftsmanship with Breguet Classique 5395: a Skeletonized tourbillon with ultra-thin Caliber 581.
Highlighting the immense complexity of this innovative mechanism, Abraham-Louis Breguet sold only 35 tourbillon watches during his lifetime. Although patented in 1801, the tourbillon's development spanned a decade from 1795 to 1805, involving years of meticulous experimentation and research.
Breguet aptly named this double-rotating cage the "tourbillon," drawing inspiration from the long-forgotten concept of a planetary system revolving around a single axis. With its ingenious design and captivating function, this groundbreaking invention has commanded widespread admiration since its inception and continues to do so today.
A stunning masterpiece that showcases Breguet's relentless quest for horological perfection is the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395. It's an awe-inspiring blend of technical prowess and artistic craftsmanship. This remarkable timepiece flaunts an extraordinary skeletonized design, a daring feat that involved meticulously removing nearly 50% of the material from the ultra-thin 3mm tourbillon movement without compromising its structural integrity.
Powering this piece is the legendary Caliber 581, a self-winding movement that is a mere 3mm thick makes it one of the finest and slimmest tourbillon movements globally. This outstanding technical accomplishment necessitated a series of ingenious adjustments that included repositioning the rotor to the periphery of the plate which allowed an unobstructed view of the mesmerizing mechanism.
The tourbillon itself is a masterwork of innovation, featuring a redesigned titanium carriage that engages directly with the wheel train and eliminates the need for an intermediary pinion.
Additionally, with its 41mm diameter, this timepiece commands attention with its bold presence, further accentuating its exquisite craftsmanship and technical sophistication.
The silicon escapement, shaped at a distinct angle, further contributes to the space-saving architecture, a unique structure that only Breguet has mastered in series production.
Beyond its technical brilliance, the remaining gold plate and bridges are adorned with exquisite hand-crafted engine-turning that features the iconic Clous de Paris hobnailing pattern meticulously executed using a diamond-tipped guilloche tool. Sharp edges are chamfered by hand that creates perfectly smooth 45-degree bevels while intricate engravings and borders frame the skeletonized openings.
Encased in a fluted case topped with a domed sapphire crystal, this masterpiece showcases a sophisticated and minimalist design with blued gold hour markers, a galvanically grown hours chapter, and a laser-engraved and varnished timer.
Complemented by traditional blued moon-tipped hands and soldered horns in the true Breguet style, the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395 is a true embodiment of Breguet's rich heritage.
