Breguet
Classique Tourbillon Messidor 5335
5335BR/42/9W6
On this entirely transparent watch, the sapphire dial takes a step back so that the complexity of the skeleton mechanism can be admired. Each of its elements has been meticulously polished, angled and shaped by hand. The time is indicated by blued Breguet hands. While the Tourbillon is majestically sits at 6 o’clock.

The Classique Tourbillon Messidor design salutes the master’s ingenious invention which he patented, according to the French Revolutionary calendar, on 7 Messidor Year IX (June 26, 1801). Driven by a handwound movement and lodged in a spacious-looking carriage, this uncluttered tourbillon design adds its distinctive character to the watch’s already fascinating personality.
The tourbillon regulator ranks high among Breguet’s most significant inventions. Having determined that gravity interfered with the regularity of watch movements, Breguet got the idea of fitting the escapement in a cage or carriage effecting a complete rotation on itself in exactly one minute. This way, whatever the position in which the watch may find itself, its rate variations cancel themselves out by recurring at regular intervals.
