Is every Group in SWATCH going to do this look?

Another one similar to the other ones, but this one's dial is easier to read:

La Tradition Breguet Tourbillon Fusée Silicium 7047


January 21, 2010
www.worldwatchweb.com - After four years of service in various watch movements, Breguet can report satisfactory results with flat silicon balance springs. The next step was to turn out silicon balance springs featuring the celebrated "Breguet" terminal curve. Actually putting a curve into a sliver of silicon represented no mean exploit in the world of watchmaking.



The springs are usually cut from flat wafers and remain uniformly thin strips. Getting silicon, devoid of the malleability of metal, to form a bend rising up from the coil required a complete rethinking of the production process, a technical challenge brilliantly mastered by Breguet technicians. The Breguet silicon balance spring will now be adding its specific advantages to silicon's on all Breguet movements, whatever their basic configuration.

. . .good question.

It's part of the "more and more mentality." First exhibition backs, open hearts,. . . . . . now the whole dial.

Great case, would be killer with a nice dial . . . .

I actually like this one! I think that it is the fact that it has a dial and it is easily read!

The watch is so nice, Mark tells us twice.

i like a nice skelentonized movement, they are what they are. you get to see the movement at work. granted it is not an every day watch, but if you have 30-40 watches ect. in your collection you should have at least one with out a dial.

Can you tell I like it?

Anyhoo...does anyone know what these cost?

No mention in the article, but by the marque, I'm guessing $25K+.

Great find Tim !!!! I'm not sure if the other companies are going
to try this look, but it's NICE ! The silicon theme sounds interesting,
not to mention innovative, which I guess is a good thing ! What's
most impressive IMHO besides the workmanship. Is the way this
watch seems to combine an industrial feel with vintage at the same
time. It's kind of tough looking, but the sides of the case, along with
the crown and strap have a classic theme. Everything about this
Breguet is excellent ! The price is a bit high though ! Thanks.

Changed my mind on the price... well over $100K.

Oh boy !..That's not good ! Tim..we will just have to wait to
get this one used !

I really think most of these are SHOW pieces for Basel 2010...

Meh!
Too expensive and too delicate for the real world.
Customers would be more impressed if you slashed prices by 10, 20 or 30 percent instead of making these kind of masterbatority exercises.
I'm over it.
