Admiring the craftsmanship on the new Breguet Tourbillon
Below is a link to an article about the new Breguet Tourbillon. At $161,800 it’s obviously something few can afford, but the level of craftsmanship can certainly be admired by all. Just check out the hand engraving on the back!

I've had the white grand feu enamel dial version on my wrist. It is magnificent and the thinness is a major part of the watch.
As for the blue enamel, I have tried this on in the 5177bb, the 38mm time, central seconds, and date model, in white gold just like this one. The enamel is extraordinary. I tried on several models including a tourbillon, but this blue enamel dial blew me and my gf away. It was easily the most memorable and impressive watch I tried that day. Still thinking of it (I don't mind the date window), may wait for a blue enamel 7147, 40mm, thin off-set sub-seconds. I love Breguet guilloché dials. But, this enamel is special. |

That's a gorgeous watch. If I were ever to buy a tourbillion, it would likely be a Breguet.

I think that Mr. Breguet invented the tourbillion. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

While the decoration is impeccable here, there are quite a few other Breguets with even more impressive finishing and decoration, in my opinion.
