The Breguet Messidor skeleton with floating tourbillon  4 Comments

Published Thursday, December 11, 2008 by Harry SK Tan |

 


I recently photographed this beautiful new Breguet Messidor and was awed by something special. I photographed other variations of Messidors before but this one had a tourbillon cage that appears to be completely unconnected to any other part of the movement giving the illusion that its floating and suspended in mid air.
Take a close look at the tourbillon cage closeup in my set of images - and see if you can spot a physical connection of the balance wheel to the movement.
To see the images of this watch, click on the image on the right. Can you figure it out how the watch works?

My thanks to the Hour Glass for allowing me to photograph this watch on their premises at the Millennia branch.
