The Tradition collection

Scroll to explore

This collection pays tribute to the memory of Breguet. The Tradition creations are inspired by the mythical subscription and touch watches designed by A.-L. Breguet. They offer a bird’s-eye view of the movement, to the delight of mechanical watchmaking enthusiasts. When admiring their watch, the owner of a Tradition will have the same view as a watchmaker does of the movement while working on the creation.

Characteristics of the Tradition collection

A Tradition watch shows the time on a smaller dial, arranged around the central barrel, so that the inner workings of the mechanism can be admired. The architecture of the movement is designed on several levels, creating a three-dimensional effect. Each piece features painstaking finishing, primarily grenaille finished, as well as manual anglage on most components. The self-winding models feature oscillating weights inspired by those created for the so-called “perpetual” watches, which we owe to A.-L. Breguet.
