Tradition taken to the extremes, you can always count on Breguet for that. Like this new Breguet Classique Phase de Lune 7787 that is based on a historical pocket watch from Breguet, the no. 92 from 1785. If you look at the power-reserve indicator you see it is decorated with small arrows. The same arrows that features on the no. 92 pocket watch.

Another fact for watch enthusiasts: the Arabic numerals on the dial are those created by A.L. Breguet for its first watches and clocks. He made them thin and legible and so emblematic of its style that they bear its name: the Breguet numerals. Another homage to something typically Breguet is the minutes track, made up of tiny stars, while the five-minute fractions are marked with fleurs-de-lis.

The Breguet Classique Phase de Lune 7787 comes in four versions

As one of the oldest Swiss watchmakers around, Breguet mostly offers modest sizes. The same with the 7787, which comes in a size of 39 millimeters. The Breguet Classique Phase de Lune 7787 isn’t a new model; however it is now available in four versions. An 18-carat white or pink gold version in which you can choose for a silvered guilloche dial or a grand feu enamel dial.

The caliber 591 DRL is meticulously decorated and equipped with hour, minute and center-second functions. In addition, there are two other complications: a moon phase located at 12 o’clock and a power-reserve indicator at 3 o’clock. The movement has a 38-hour power reserve, as well as a silicon escapement and balance-spring. Silicon has many advantages: it is extremely light for better shock-resistance, non-magnetic, and does not require lubrication.
