Breguet Tradition Repetition Minutes Tourbillon 7087 Minute Repeater Tourbillon Overview
Breguet Tradition Repetition Minutes Tourbillon 7087 Minute Repeater Tourbillon is a masterpiece that integrates some of Breguet’s most advanced innovations into a single haute horlogerie creation. Designed from the ground up, the case, bezel, gongs, and hammers were entirely re-engineered to elevate both acoustics and mechanical performance. The watch also incorporates a rare peripheral oscillating weight, enabling automatic winding without obstructing the movement’s visual beauty.
Innovative Vertical Minute Repeater System
One of the most remarkable features of the Breguet Tradition Repetition Minutes Tourbillon 7087 Minute Repeater Tourbillon is its vertically striking minute repeater mechanism—used by Breguet for the first time. Positioned at 9 o’clock, two hammers strike perpendicularly against uniquely shaped gongs, each producing a distinct tone. According to Breguet, this acoustic profile was selected from over one thousand sound experiments carried out by their watchmakers.
Dial-Side Gong Display and Enhanced Acoustic Design
This timepiece is believed to be the first minute repeater wristwatch that fully exposes the gong mechanism on the dial side, allowing the wearer to visually appreciate the transformation of mechanical vibrations into resonant sound. The bezel’s wave-patterned design and the three-pillar crystal mounting allow improved resonance, while a thin gold membrane beneath the sapphire caseback amplifies the repeater’s rich sound.
Titanium Tourbillon and Peripheral Rotor
At 6 o’clock sits a lightweight titanium tourbillon carriage, powered by the Cal. 565DR movement. This advanced caliber integrates a challenging peripheral rotor system, offering a clear view of the movement while maintaining a slim profile. Despite the complexity of the minute repeater, the watch delivers an impressive 80-hour power reserve.
