Sorry Isaac
Every rule has its exception.
By creating the Tourbillon 225 years ago, Abraham-Louis Breguet succeeded in outwitting Isaac Newton’s great theory, the law of gravity.

Plan your visitClassique Tourbillon 7357
The Classique Tourbillon 7357 follows in the footsteps of a historic Breguet model: Ref. 3350, which was none other than the first Tourbillon wristwatch produced by the modern-day Breguet in 1989.
Now one of the timepieces most sought-after by collectors, this model was powered by the Calibre 558, a movement of equal historical significance.
The new Classique Tourbillon 7357 is its direct descendant, based on an optimised version of the famous 558 movement now known as Cal. 187B. To mark the Tourbillon patent’s 225th anniversary, the watch is available in two versions (platinum and Breguet gold), bearing the Breguet hallmark.
A Tourbillon rooted in modernity
Their aesthetic codes draw on the master design of Breguet’s 250th anniversary collections in 2025. The lugs have been entirely redesigned to better follow the curve of the wrist. The Arabic numerals which A.-L. Breguet had already introduced in the late 18th century with a remarkably modern touch – once again take centre-stage on the 18K gold dial. This features the brand’s two most iconic guilloché patterns: Clous de Paris in the centre and Barleycorn around the periphery. For the decoration showcased on the back of the watch, Breguet has devised a unique guilloché pattern for the movement’s baseplate and the caseback inspired by the Dent de Vaulion: the iconic peak of the Vallée de Joux, birthplace of the Manufacture.
Tradition Tourbillon 7047
Today, Breguet further explores the aesthetics of the Tradition Tourbillon 7047 with a platinum version adorned in a Bleu de France shade adorning the dial and bridges – not only the Tourbillon bridges, but also the large fusee-and-chain bridge that appears on either side of the time subdial. The fusee-and-chain itself is also finished in Bleu de France.
This shade is an original creation unveiled in 2025 to mark the Manufacture’s 250th anniversary on a Minute Repeater (Classique Répétition Minutes 7365). The Tourbillon cage is fitted with a silicon balance-spring. Since 2010, the cage has been crafted from titanium.
An ingenious mechanism for regulating torque: the fusee-and-chain device
To build on the invention of the Tourbillon, the House turned to a principle formalised by another great mind of his time: Leonardo da Vinci. While the latter probably did not invent the fusee-and-chain concept that predates his own (still preserved) sketches by some 50 years, he did explicitly detail its geometry and principles as they are still used in contemporary watchmaking.
Marine Tourbillon Équation Marchante 5887
A new version of the Marine Équation Marchante 5887 is unveiled in 2026 to mark the 225th anniversary of the patent obtained by A.-L. Breguet for his Tourbillon on 26 June 1801.
The timepiece belongs to the third generation of this iconic collection, launched in 1990 and significantly revamped in 2017. The watch is housed in a 43.9 mm-diameter platinum case. Its dial is adorned with Arabic numerals, a style introduced by A.-L. Breguet himself in the late 18th century, once again reflecting an aesthetic that was particularly innovative for its time.
A limited edition for the history books
The dial is composed of two parts. At the centre is a sapphire dial featuring a miniature painting done by hand in gradient-blue Grand Feu enamel that is translucent on its underside. On its upper surface is a hand-painted miniature painting in luminescent enamel depicting the night sky with its constellations and the moon in their exact positions as seen from Paris on 26 June 1801. The Arabic numerals are applied in gold.
This model is a 25-piece limited edition in which each watch can be personalised with the sky corresponding to a chosen date and location.
Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255
An iconic creation among the timepieces unveiled as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations, the Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 is the first Breguet wristwatch to feature a flying Tourbillon. This model also incorporates a “mysterious” display, a watchmaking construction that Breguet had not used for nearly 20 years.
The flying Tourbillon
In developing its first flying Tourbillon, Manufacture Breguet is following in the footsteps of the great watchmaker. The House continues to cultivate his spirit of constant innovation, returning to the foundations of the Tourbillon to offer a design that is distinctive in two respects: both flying and mysterious.

Plan your visitAn invention that changed watchmaking.
Patented by Abraham-Louis Breguet on June 26, 1801, the Tourbillon was conceived to counter the effects of gravity on the regulating organ. More than two centuries later, it remains one of the most emblematic achievements in the history of watchmaking.
