This year, the first Breguet watch I photographed featured a new silicium gear which is intended to provide some technical benefits due to the higher levels of stability from using the new element. The 4746 is a classically designed watch without any hint of the new technology that is found inside.
Some months ago I discussed here the potential issues of the spread of the use of silicium or silicon based parts in watch manufacturing. I hope that the brands will cognizant about the risk of overusing silicium parts. Fortunately, Breguet here has restricted the use of this element only in the train gear - seen here purple in colour.
Have a look at my photographic report I made on the Purist to see more. To view the report CLICK HERE.
