Time in the Breguet style
A.-L. Breguet’s historic invention, the tourbillon regulator, was patented in 1801. This device was conceived to compensate for the errors in rate caused by the constant changes in the watch’s position. It consists of mounting the escapement and sprung balance in a mobile carriage which rotates on itself with utter regularity. Errors are thus reproduced regularly and cancel each other out, rather than accumulating. Two centuries later it remains a technical “tour de force” of which very few watchmakers are capable.

Fantastic Bargain I actually first saw this watch at a neat little store in Luxembourg, as I was refilling my ruby-encrusted helicopter with gasoline made out of unicorn tears. I passed it by, thinking nothing of it, but as I landed on the solid gold helipad of my fourteen-story chateau, it got me thinking: What am I missing in my life? I asked my pedigree manservant to fetch me the name of this trivial timepiece, and with a knowing chuckle I discovered that this Tourbillon watch came from the same countryside…

Work of Art Yes, Breguet is a very respected name in horological circles and yes, making a tourbillon watch is a tour de force. I mean who better to build a tourbillon watch than the company founded by the man who invented the tourbillon in the first place? Let’s face it, the Messidor is a wearable work of art with impeccable provenance. Yet, there is something here that is not quite right, a detail that causes minor pause; the shipping charge. If I am going to spend the GDP of a small West African…
