In 2018, Breguet enriches its Grandes Complications collection with a long-awaited addition: This collection now is available with a “Grand Feu” enamel dial. This new Classique Grandes Complications 5367 provides a simple interpretation of the tourbillon and focuses on a minimalist dial as well. The information has been deliberately pared down to essentials in order to give the mechanism the full attention it deserves. Contrary to reference 5377 presented in 2013, this 2018 edition has no power-reserve indicator. To draw the gaze to the key element, Breguet has opted for a graphic hand-bevelled tourbillon bar, topped by a spinel. The likewise blue Breguet hands strike a contrast with the immaculate whiteness of the traditional enamel, ensuring easy legibility of the hours and minutes. The chapter ring with Breguet Arabic numerals is off-centred at 11 o’clock and thus directly facing the tourbillon at 5 o’clock. This display layout is reminiscent of the watches created by A.-L. Breguet, who revelled in revolutionising the aesthetic conventions governing the timepieces of his era.
Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique 5367 in rose gold with a dial in “Grand Feu” enamel and a mahogany brown alligator leather strap with gold folding clasp
While the appearance of this Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique model is understated on the front, its movement is richly decorated. The bridges, barrel and oscillating weight are hand-engraved. Crafted in platinum for greater inertia, the latter rotates on the periphery of the calibre provide a clearer view of the movement and ensure its slimness. The Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique 5367 measures a mere 7.45 mm thick and its movement just 3mm. Calibre 581 powering this timepiece comprises a balance oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz while maintaining a comfortable 80-hour power reserve. This performance is enabled by a “high-energy” barrel, whose patented construction serves to increase the number of coils of its spring and hence augment energy storage.
