Quick TakeThe Breguet Classique Grande Complication 1907 isn't just a pocket watch; it's a symphony of time. Its hand-wound movement, a labyrinth of 525 components, beats at a classic 2.5Hz, a rhythm as old as watchmaking itself. Each chime, a miniature concert courtesy of the grand strike, resonates with the 18-karat gold case, a warmth only precious metal can offer. The tourbillon, a mesmerizing dance of gears at 6 o'clock, defies gravity with each rotation. It's not just a timepiece, it's a portal to a bygone era of craftsmanship, a wearable testament to the artistry of timekeeping.

DescriptionThe Breguet Classique Grande Complication 1907 Yellow Gold (1907BA/12) is a masterpiece of horological engineering, encased in 18-carat yellow gold. This pocket watch boasts a grand strike mechanism, striking the time audibly at each hour and quarter-hour, and a tourbillon, a rotating cage that houses the escapement and balance wheel, mitigating the effects of gravity on timekeeping accuracy.

The watch's manually engraved hand-wound movement, Caliber 508GS, operates at a frequency of 2.5 Hz, or 18,000 vibrations per hour. The movement comprises 525 components, 43 jewels, and features a Breguet overcoil balance spring. This intricate mechanism is housed within a round 56.5mm diameter case, 21.95mm thick, fitted with a sapphire caseback revealing the meticulous craftsmanship. The silvered gold dial, hand-engraved on a rose engine, is adorned with an off-centered chapter ring and a central minute hand.
