Even though so much time has passed since its launch in 2006, the Breguet Classique Double Tourbillon remains one of the most complex and unusual double tourbillon watches on the market. Its fundamental construction significantly differs from traditional double tourbillons that are linked by a differential. It aims to provide greater transmission efficiency while delivering the same effect of a single, equalised and more precise rate. In addition, both wheel trains and tourbillons are mounted on a rotating plate, which completes one revolution every 12 hours. The rotating plate acts as a third tourbillon cage and enables the upper bridge of the tourbillon to double as the hour hand of the watch.
In 2020, Breguet unveiled the Classique Double Tourbillon Quai De l’Horloge 5345, the first open-dial version, which lent itself to more elaborate artisanal decoration. It featured a platinum case and was named after the historic street in Paris where the original Breguet workshop was located. Today, the brand has introduced a striking rose gold model that has been decorated with hand-guilloché on the rotating plate, engraving on the top plate, along with an abundance of anglage and internal angles. It all makes for a highly compelling watch that is both ingenious in its movement construction and very traditional in the amount of classical watchmaking craft it offers.
