Breguet introduces two new 3358 references to its Classique collection. Featuring a Tourbillon, these timepieces captivate enthusiasts with not only the beauty of their dials but also the intricate watchmaking mechanism they house.
The first model in white gold immerses us into dreams of starry nights. A shower of diamonds appears to glide over its pearled and varnished mother-of-pearl dial in midnight blue. To add depth, a flurry of gold stars adorns the dial: sandblasted, polished and some adorned with a diamond. The off-centred chapter ring at 12 o’clock reflects the brand's DNA with Arabic numerals and rhodium-plated gold Breguet hands, while the serial number appears at 4 o'clock.
The dial opens like a curved, polished arena at 6 o'clock to reveal the tourbillon in all its splendour. An imposing shooting star-shaped bar composed of 45 snow-set diamonds crosses the tourbillon. At its centre, a blue spinel acts as a pivoting stone for the tourbillon carriage.
The second model offers a rose gold case frames a dial adorned with 281 diamonds. The gems between 3 and 9 o’clock form elegant curves, while those inside the chapter ring are set using the snow-setting technique. The chapter ring at 12 o'clock is in natural white mother-of-pearl. The Arabic numerals and hands are aligned with Breguet's own distinctive aesthetic codes devised by its founder. Majestically positioned at the base of the dial, the tourbillon is integrated into a curved and polished oval-shaped aperture and enhanced by a rounded gold bar graced with 14 diamonds.
To enhance the tourbillon's fascinating mechanism, its components play on grey and pink-coloured contrasts. Last but not least, the bezel and lugs are set with diamonds, in addition to the crown, which features a rose-cut diamond.
