Hands-On: A Closer Look at the Breguet Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255
The Breguet Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 was unveiled on June 26, 2025, commemorating the 250th anniversary of Abraham-Louis Breguet's invention of the tourbillon. This limited edition watch features the brand's first flying tourbillon, which appears to float in mid-air within a compact case made of 18k Breguet gold. The innovative design includes a sapphire glass lower bridge that creates an illusion of invisibility and showcases the watchmaker's expertise. The dial is crafted from blue Grand Feu aventurine enamel, adding a rich visual appeal while symbolizing Breguet's fascination with astronomy. The watch is powered by the manual-winding Breguet calibre 187M1, which boasts a 50-hour power reserve and operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour. With a diameter of 38mm and a thickness of 10.2mm, the Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 also features a hand-guilloché decorated caseback and is presented in a special red leather box. Limited to only 50 pieces and priced at CHF 190,000, this timepiece not only exemplifies horological craftsmanship but also serves as a celebration of Breguet's rich history and innovation.
