Breguet Celebrates Momentous 250th Anniversary with Striking Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7035

In the horological world, turning 250 is quite an accomplishment. Breguet, an esteemed watch brand, commemorates this milestone with an array of anniversary editions, the most thrilling of which is the Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7035. Initially introduced in May, it is not just a timepiece but a pure distillation of 250 years of technical and aesthetic innovation. The 7035 demonstrates a magnificent melding of tradition and innovation that would surely leave Abraham-Louis Breguet, the iconic founder, pleased. The watch is a testament to his spirit of enlightenment and devotion to perfecting new technological solutions. The Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7035 is part of Breguet’s Tradition collection, launched in 2005, drawing inspiration from the founder’s Souscription and Tact pocket watches. These watches were pioneering timepieces with robust and straightforward mechanics that came at a modest price. The openworked design of the Tradition collection allows for a view of the moving parts, with the bridges, escapement, and barrel revealed on the dial. This postmodern reinterpretation of heritage design is full of visual surprises, yet does not compromise on the functional integrity of the timepiece. The Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7035 boasts a proprietary alloy, Breguet gold, enhanced with silver, copper, and palladium, a tribute to the brand’s significant milestone.
