This issue we look at Breguet’s Classique 7637 watch, see how a Chanel couture necklace is made, and talk independent watchmakers.
A good friend of mine is a serious watch collector. He has that dangerous combination of great taste and considerable resources, which means that everything he wears on his wrist is exceptional. But I remember him telling me that despite owning all the usual suspects, and fine examples of them at that, he felt his collecting really kicked up a notch when he got into the independents.
So while it’s not entirely optimal for the client—particularly those going gray while their watches are being made, not to mention the significant number who can’t even get on a wait list—at least it’s good news for the watchmakers, right? Well, no, not entirely. Because the talent pool, those artisans who can guilloche a dial or polish a balance wheel or hand-carve numerals to such rarefied standards, is limited and shrinking rather than expanding.
Sticking with watches, we turn our attention to Breguet, as the storied marque is generating considerable heat on the secondary market, tipped as the next brand to see prices rocket. We canvassed well-placed insiders to suggest which references to buy now. But just as exciting is its latest release, the seemingly simple but devilishly complicated–enamel dial, rose-gold case, and—of course—Breguet hands, shielding the intricate chiming movement beneath.
