Unveils the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395
Breguet transcends mere watchmaking with the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395, a symphony of intricate mechanics and aesthetic brilliance. This exceptional timepiece features a skeletonised tourbillon movement, a testament to both technical prowess and artistic expression.
A Ballet of Engineering and Beauty:
The heart of the Classique 5395 lies in its remarkable 581 calibre. This ultra-thin, self-winding tourbillon movement, a mere 3 millimetres in thickness, ranks among the world’s finest. Its creation demanded a series of intricate adjustments, such as placing the rotor peripherally to preserve both a sleek profile and a clear view of the intricate mechanism. The tourbillon itself underwent a complete redesign, featuring a unique architecture with a titanium carriage that engages directly with the gear train, further enhanced by a distinctive angled silicon escapement.
A Feast for the Eyes
The 581 caliber, already a masterpiece in previous models, now embodies the concept of lightness and transparency in its fully skeletonised form. The challenge lies in removing the maximum material while maintaining the technical integrity of each element, a task further amplified by the chosen medium – gold. Breguet, one of the last watchmakers to master this art, ensures an impeccable execution.
Sophistication & Minimalism
The masterpiece resides within a fluted case topped with a domed sapphire crystal, offering a breathtaking perspective of the movement. The minimalist yet sophisticated design is further enhanced by applied hour markers in blued gold, a galvanised dial with laser-engraved and blue-varnished timer markings, and traditional Breguet elements like blued moon-tipped hands and soldered horns.
Available in either rose or platinum cases, the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395 offers two variations: a grey movement housed in a rose gold case, and a rose movement housed in a platinum case. Each iteration boasts water resistance up to 30 meters.
