Luxury watch movements are made by hand by craftsmen combining hundreds of parts, and there are numerous variations, ranging from simple two-hand watches to ultra-complex mechanisms such as perpetual calendars and tourbillons.Moreover, they do not merely perform a specific function, but many are finished so beautifully that they are worthy of being called works of art, and many people are impressed by their beautiful form and consider purchasing one.

summary

What did you think.

In recent years, Breguet has often produced general-purpose movements, but in keeping with the spirit of Abraham-Louis Breguet, who created revolutionary technologies such as the perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and tourbillon mechanism, the brand is focusing on producing its own movements. Why not take this opportunity to look for your favorite watch by paying attention to movements that don't get much attention?

Some of the representative models introduced this time have already been discontinued, and many of them cannot be purchased at official retailers, so if you are in the area, please be sure to stop by Commit Ginza.

Once again, we hope this article helps you find your favorite luxury watch.
