THE BREGUET TRADITION IN JEWELRY MODE Breguet revisits a collection first seen in 2005. The Tradition stands apart for its inverted movement, revealed beneath a small, off-center dial inherited from Abraham-Louis Breguet’s à tact watches. Among the new releases making their debut, the Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7038 is designed for a woman’s wrist, with a 37mm case crafted from white gold, diamonds on the bezel and buckle, and, most strikingly, a dial in aventurine glass that twinkles like a starry sky above the exposed mechanism. A black satin strap lends a final flourish to this jewel of a watch.

Complementing the green stone lacquer dial, hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock are sculpted in heliotrope, a natural stone displaying green hues. Framed by the 28mm satin brushed case, it lends the Oyster a discreetly precious touch.

As much bracelet as timepiece, its diminutive (19mm) spherical case, in steel or red gold, is paired with a double tour leather strap. Keeping time is the automatic 615 caliber. True to its word, Blancpain has never made a quartz movement.

The first, in gold tones, chooses genuine turquoise for its dial: a natural stone, like the existing malachite version, that is by nature unique. A second variation, this time in steel, opts for a refreshing mint-green dial with a sunray finish. Both models rock a Clous de Paris cuff bracelet. (MU)
