Hands-On: The Breguet Classique 7235, My Favourite Watch of the 250th Anniversary
The Breguet Classique 7235 is a remarkable tribute to the brand's heritage, celebrating its 250th anniversary with a design that reflects the distinctive Breguet style established by its founder, Abraham-Louis Breguet. While it may not boast the most complex features or innovations compared to other models released in the anniversary collection, the Classique 7235 captivates with its elegant aesthetics and historical significance. The watch features a beautifully crafted dial reminiscent of Breguet's classic timepieces, integrating a moon phase and power reserve indicator, all while maintaining a refined, minimalist charm. Inside, the Classique 7235 houses a newly updated version of the calibre 502.3.DRL, which enhances the watch's functionality while preserving its heritage. The movement is characterized by an offset oscillating weight and a silicon balance-spring, offering a 45-hour power reserve. Limited to just 250 pieces, this exquisite timepiece is priced at CHF 65,000 or EUR 76,200, making it a collectible for enthusiasts who appreciate both technical craftsmanship and timeless design. The Classique 7235 stands as a handsome embodiment of Breguet's legacy, appealing to those who value elegance as much as technical prowess.
