Underscoring its high-horology expertise in ultra-thin movements, Breguet's newest Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395 is fitted with a 3mm thick skeletonized tourbillon movement with a new architecture. To achieve this incredible thinness, watchmakers removed nearly 50 percent of the metal from the extra-thin caliber 581SQ. To save even more space, they placed the rotor on the periphery of the gold movement, and the titanium carriage of the tourbillon forgoes the pinion and base and connects directly with the wheel train, making for a highly transparent and geometric layout. Even the silicon escapement has a new angled shape to conserve space. The high-energy barrel beats at 4Hz and offers 80 hours of power reserve. Each of the 325 caliber components is meticulously finished with traditional perlage, chamfering, engraving and more.

With roots in jewelry as well as watches, it is no surprise that the beauty evident in Breguet's pendants, earrings and necklaces has found its way to its timepieces. Adorned in jewels, the delicacy of these timepieces is mirrored by intricate mechanism. Fragility is only a façade, however, as durability distinguishes these diamond encrusted clockworks. Wearing a Breguet isn't solely practical, but for the expressive.The Crazy collection is a prime example of Breguet's command of passion. Notable within this is the Be Crazy wristwatch made with 18-carat white gold. Set in staggered rows with 56 baguette diamonds, the timepiece expands to suggest a floral opening, a field of bamboo or a lattice of illusion. Similarly striking, the L'Orangie wristwatch elevates the effective simplicity of a daisy chain to a bangle bedazzled by diamond flowers. Encased in 18-carat yellow gold, spessartine garnets, rubies, pink tourmalines and yellow sapphires pave pretty petals. Operation rival's opulence as the timepiece further features self-winding movement.
