The hour hand turns on a supplementary face above; the minute hand is in the centre; and the second hand is threaded to the tourbillon pivot. This is approximately what the first tourbillon regulator watches looked like. The whole thing frequently included a cover with an opening for the face that chastely concealed all the expensive beauty beneath. Breguet, incidentally, still produces these classical models. To describe perfection of this kind – is the same as trying to describe the smile on the face of the Mona Lisa.
The series is produced in yellow gold and platinum.
