EXTRA-THIN SELF-WINDING TOURBILLON 5377 HISTORY IS STILL BEING WRITTEN... MONTRES BREGUET SA CH -1344 L’ABBAYE ( VALLÉE DE JOUX ) SWITZERLAND WWW. BREGUET.COM THE COMPLEXITY OF AN EXTRA-THIN MOVEMENT IS EQUALLED ONLY BY THE ELEGANCE AND SLENDERNESS OF THE WATCH ITSELF. THE REFLECTION OF A UNIQUE STYLE. PURE LINES AND A DELICATE DESIGN. 7.7MM - THE ART OF BREGUET POCKET WATCH No 4691 - BREGUET MUSEUM WATCH No 4691 IS A HALF-QUARTER REPEATER FEATURING EQUATION OF TIME, LUNAR CYCLE, CALENDAR AND POWER-RESERVE DISPLAYS. THE QUEST FOR SLENDERNESS AND PURE STYLING HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY EXPRESSED THROUGH THE THINNEST POSSIBLE MOVEMENTS. AESTHETIC HARMONY AND HOROLOGICAL EXCELLENCE. WATCH No 4691 EMBODIES THE QUINTESSENCE OF THE ART OF BREGUET. Pocket watch N° 4691, sold on October 13 th 1831 to Lord Henry Seymour Conway, is one of the most complex thin watches ever created and produced by Antoine-Louis Breguet. This exceptionally slim 7.7mm half-quarter repeater model is equipped with a particularly large number of horological complications for a thin watch from this period. Perfectly reflecting this constant quest for elegance and aesthetic purity cherished by Breguet, this creation also showcases a wealth of watchmaking expertise faithfully cultivated since the 18 th century. In 2013, this timepiece joined the prestigious collection of the Breguet Museum. POCKET WATCH No 4691 - BREGUET MUSEUM “ HE DREW OUT THE MOST DELICIOUS THIN WATCH THAT BREGUET HAD EVER MADE. FANCY, IT IS ELEVEN O’CLOCK, I WAS UP EARLY.” Honoré de Balzac, Eugénie Grandet, 1833 Featuring an exceptionally slender 7mm-high case and combining ancestral expertise with contemporary innovations, the Classique Extra-Thin Self-Winding Tourbillon 5377 is currently the world’s thinnest self-winding tourbillon. And probably the most elegant. Its dial features a daring play on the paradoxical asymmetry of EXTRA-THIN SELF-WINDING TOURBILLON 5377 symmetrical effects to create a subtle and fascinating overall impression. Intersecting lines, criss-crossed curves and four different engine-turned patterns combine to create a complex yet delightfully restrained work of art. Brilliantly merging æsthetic purity with horological complexity, this timepiece is above all a tribute to the tourbillon, the supreme complication invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1801.
