Full-Cataloguing

Breguet’s Tradition Collection was launched in 2005 and is a 21st century homage to Abraham-Louis’ legacy and his “souscription” series. The reference 7057 arrived in 2010 with a size increase to 40mm from the original reference 7027’s 38mm diameter and a larger, more legible timekeeping main dial. It subtly features a power reserve indication to the left of the suspended guilloché dial, also visible on the movement side. Incidentally, Abraham-Louis Breguet was the first to use engine-turning to decorate watches in this fashion. The semi-skeletonized dial, so typical of Breguet pocket watches and wristwatches for the past two centuries, is still hand-engraved by the artisans at Breguet, with a frosted effect, heat-blued screws, and hand-beveled bridges.
This modern reference 7057 from 2022 carries its traditional inheritance nobly, while adapting to modern aesthetics and lifestyles. It comes complete with Breguet Certificate of Origin, wooden presentation box, hang tag, and product literature. The watch is in near new condition and probably only worn a handful of times. It is a lovely tribute to the mastery of Abraham-Louis Breguet.
Breguet
Swiss | 1775Established in 1775 by Abraham Louis Breguet, widely considered the greatest watchmaker of all time, the storied brand continues to thrive in the modern era, creating exceptional high-end watches as the Swatch Group's premier prestige brand. Some of the most important and lasting inventions in watchmaking are attributed to Abraham Louis Breguet, including the tourbillon, shock resistance and the use of hammers and gongs employed in nearly all minute repeating watches made since.
Eighteenth and nineteenth century Breguet pocketwatches are especially sought-after by collectors, and many of them were made for the elite of European society, including Napoléon and Marie Antoinette. Key wristwatches from the twentieth century include oversized dress watches, two-register chronographs, triple calendars and Type XX aviator's chronographs made for the French military and civilians.
