LADIES AND TRADITION
All those aspiring to a feminine watch and proud of its authentically technical personality need look no further, with the new Tradition Dame that Breguet is introducing at Baselworld. Thus far available in white gold only, the 2017 rose gold version creates a softer, warmer look and feel while highlighting its gemsetting and accentuating its femininity. This strong personality with its powerful horological DNA conceals nothing of its intrinsic qualities, highlighted by its mechanical heart and ‘brain’ that are firmly in the foreground. The bridges and gear trains perform a fascinating show center-stage, on either side of the barrel beneath them which is adorned with a delightful rosette motif also picked up on the gold oscillating weight visible through the back. This self-winding Manufacture movement is distinguished by its lever escapement with silicon pallets and its Breguet balance-spring, also in silicon. The consistent appeal of its model extends right the way through to its crown adorned with a watch jewel.
