Breguet Tradition "Retrograde Seconds"

Abraham Louis Breguet is without doubt the founding Father of modern horology as we know it. The modern Brand stays true to its Heritage with the Tradition Collection. Breguet was one of the first, if not the first Watchmaker to apply form alongside function. The original Breguet pocket watches, built to order and respectively titled “Souscription” enjoyed open faced or skeletonised movements showing the inner workings of the mechanism.

In the Breguet Tradition family, we have a replication of this visual but in an incredibly high, state of the art delivery. From time only hand wound models to Fusee Tourbillons and clever Chronographs, the Tradition models encapsulate modern watchmaking in the distinctive Breguet style. Reference 7097 is an automatic model, that retains the simplicity of the Tradition design but now with running seconds. This indicator is incorporated using a stunning retrograde feature whereby the hand automatically flicks back to zero once it has completed its arc.
