In its Classique collection, Breguet offers a new interpretation of the tourbillon, a device patented by the brand’s founder on the 7 Messidor Year 9 in the French Republican calendar. The white gold case has a fluted middle and houses a hand-wound chronograph movement. The tourbillon in its polished steel cage is positioned at 12 o’clock.
