The Breguet Classique Chronométrie 7727 Takes The Top Prize At The 2014 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve replica watches

28 December 2020 0 By admin

Coming to you live from the grand theater in Geneva, watchmaking’s top prize, the “AIGUILLE D’OR” has been presented to Breguet’s Classique Chronométrie 7727. This simple appearing replica watches watch is anything but, and actually represents years of development, six new patents, and innovation in not only high-frequency calibers, but also magnetism and materials, all in a thin elegant case with welded lugs and an engine-turned dial that is true Breguet at its very core. Here we’ll explain what makes this Breguet watch so special, and give you the list of each category winner at this year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve.

“AIGUILLE D’OR” – Breguet Classique Chronometrie 7727

The Breguet Classique Chronométrie has so much going for it, and in such an understated package. First, Breguet’s master watchmaker patented the concept of magnetic pivots on November 9, 2010. The magnetic pivots of this watch not only remove any concerns about magnetism in this movement, but also by incorporating a powerful micro-magnet in each of the two end stones supporting the balance pivots, Breguet has designed a dynamically stable system that re-centers or self-adjusts after a disturbance. The magnetic pivot consists of a carbon-steel balance staff and a “rare-earth” magnet behind each end stone. One of the magnets is stronger than the other so that the balance staff is in permanent contact with the end stone on the dial side and thus appears to be suspended. This allows the watch to be incredibly shock resistant, and precise as well, because the balance is essentially suspended in a magnetic field, thus meaning there is no difference in rate by position of the watch. The 7277 offers a variance of -1 to +3 seconds per day.

On top of the Breguet’s incredible magnetic properties, this watch uses experimental silicon components that allow the watch to weigh less, be even more immune to magnetism, be longer lasting, and more flexible. These silicon parts, including silicon balance spring, pallet-levers, and escape wheels, allow Breguet to push the watch to 10 Hz. To put that into perspective, that is double the oscillation rate of the famously high-beat Zenith El Primero. This allows the Breguet to measure a 20th of a second. Further, this Classique Chronometrie contains twin 180° symmetrically deploying balance springs, offering incredible balance on the oscillator and improving precision.

Then, you add all that creative watchmaking into a gorgeous traditional 41 mm x 9.7 mm Breguet case, add a dial with six (yes six!) different patterns of hand guilloché work, throw on a a 40,000 CHF price and there you have it folks, the watch that the jury of the 2014 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve chose as the winner of this year’s most important accolade in watchmaking.
