Breguet Twin Rotating Tourbillons Baselworld 2009

[RollaArtis]

Surely this is this a fake Breguet? I can't imagine the great Abraham Louis having such a silly idea.

[ProfessionalWatches]

@RollaArtis What is so silly about it?

[RollaArtis]

@ProfessionalWatches Because the whole idea has no serious technical basis, it can only be for show. Precision timekeeping does not enter the equation here, but it will certainly be admired by the ignocenti all of whom know no better.

[ToothyGus]

But will it blend?

[gtq838]

@ToothyGus LOL, that never gets old!

[ProfessionalWatches]

@ToothyGus Funny

[GoldschmidtRazvan]

[ProfessionalWatches]

@GoldschmidtRazvan Yeap

[cr0ttych0p]

i saw thsi on amazon for like 800,000... but then they wanted me to pay 8.99 for shipping .. which was wayyy to much so i diddnt buy one

[arminask]

@cr0ttych0p is it made from solid diamond or something similar?

[ProfessionalWatches]

@arminask the crystal is made from something similar in hardness - synthetic sapphire, but aside from that no....

[ProfessionalWatches]

@cr0ttych0p funny

[BrownMuscles]

[ProfessionalWatches]

[ProfessionalWatches]

@cfwhu I agree

[MrMalik1308]

[alinroiu]

[xReventonx]

I seen a breguet twin tourbillon and it was $690,000 rrp...this should be along the lines of that.

[Avangli0n]

That is history,that is more than amazing,what more could you want ?

[ProfessionalWatches]

@Avangli0n yes

[tanmaniac]

What's the second tourbillon for? So you can read seconds twice?

[ProfessionalWatches]

@tanmaniac for looks maybe

[alexneszmer]

I'm gonna guess this isn't Evanescence, lol.

So what is it?

[ProfessionalWatches]

@alexneszmer I think so

[silicon43]

do want

[ProfessionalWatches]

@silicon43 me too

[ducttaperulestheworl]

omg extra complication lol

[Jacob88rOblivion]

What a lovely watch. Ive just been looking in there collection book and this watch seems to be unavalible as it says "no request" but I'm guessing that this watch is worth at least £100,000 so it's out of my price range.

[followmyporn]

Let's say you were a billionaire, and you used this as your beater watch, you think it could last five yrs without maintenance?

[Descalabro]

@followmyporn My 150$ Citizen is working just fine after 4 years without maintenance, so I suppose a watch worth 340.000$ should have no problems.

[followmyporn]

@Descalabro I think this reply doesn't make sense at all as a citizen quartz watch should definitely be more reliable than an ultra complicated mechanical or automatic. My question still stands unanswered

[Descalabro]

@followmyporn Every element of a Breguet is much better than any element in a Citizen, and a Breguet goes trough much more demanding quality tests, especially limited versions as these. Even though the complexity on the watch itself is greater in a Breguet I cannot for a second imagine the Breguet lasting less than a Citizen under the same conditions. It wouldn't be acceptable if a watch as expensive as this wouldn't last 5 years without maintenance. I would bet it lasts for some 30 years.

[followmyporn]

@Descalabro I do not mean to diss the Breguet in anyway infact I think it's an incredible piece of art, but you really can't compare a simple quartz with very few moving parts to one of the most complicated watches in the world. Example you may ruin a very nice expensive automatic by taking it on a bumpy bike ride though a cheap G-Shock would survive it.

[Descalabro]

@followmyporn Well, I get your point, but we shouldn't be comparing a Breguet to a G Shock, made specifically for hardcore use. In that case we should compare the G shock to the Zenith Zero-G.

Still, it would be quite an entertaining show to put watches like this Breguet to such a test. :D

[ProfessionalWatches]

@followmyporn yes

[ProfessionalWatches]

@Descalabro Maybe, but the tourbillons need a lot of adjusting

[mariussicone]

there is enough space to put another 2 tourbilions fill it up wtf

[mariussicone]

i want to buy 2 like this but must be in black

[azaas]

never really saw the point of a tourbillion in a wristwatch .... But even though it doesn't have as important function as it does in a pocket watch, i got to say it looks amazing! Breguet is surely one of my favorite companies out there :)

[zorky101]

@azaas- do u even know what a tourbillion does?? its even more important to have them in a wrist watch than in a pocket watch!

[azaas]

you have no clue what you're talking about

[Descalabro]

@zorky101 So far it has not been proved that tourbillons are of any help in timekeeping. Some watchmakers even claim it is more of an aesthetical parasite since it consumes a lot of energy without significant improvements in accuracy. I like them anyway.

[23BET23]

Just awesome...

[ProfessionalWatches]

@23BET23 agreed

[TheAntizionism]

price: 220.000 €. 340.000 $ uuuuuuuuuuhhhhh
