The 2009 collection has already been discussed; complement with some pictures (for the Classique Minute repeater Grande Complication 7637 and the Marine Royale 5847)
for your viewing Enjoy!
Tradition 7027 design in two-color version ...
(Note: Pictures were taken in a yellow tungsten environment, thus the case colour may differ)
White gold case with anthracite grey surface treatment on the movement done by electroplating technique with
an alloy of precious metals of the platinum family darker in hue than the ruthenium.
The anthracite surface with white gold and black dial provides good visual contrast and at the same time
inject a bit of fresh contemporary feel to a traditional design.
Black electroplated 18K gold guilloché dial with the hallmarked crescent moon Breguet-hands in polished steel.
The “Pare-chute” (in hand-beveled steel), possibly the ancestor of modern Incabloc and other shock-protection components.
Breguet Overcoil hairspring
The back view of the 50-hour power reserve, 3 Hz Calibre 507DR ...
secured to the caseband with 3 blued screws.
with a secondary power reserve indicator ...
Next is another variation in pink gold case and original rose gold plate...
Comparing both Traditions, I prefer the white gold case with the anthracite surface finished.
How about you?
Classique 7337 - Date, moon phases and running seconds
The asymmetrical 39mm diameter 7337 with off-centre hour ring and the small second located at 5'o clock position.

Classique Grande Complication 7637 - Minute repeater
42mm diameter 18K pink gold case...
Enjoy the beautifully guilloché dial .... try counting how many different engraved patterns!
The blued hands just stand out beautifully on this light dial without stealing the limelight of the guilloché patterns.
I counted 6 patterns, one pattern lesser than "Le Réveil du Tsar".
According to Breguet specifications, some work was done to achieve the crystal clear sound :
"In 2008, Breguet came out with a new way of designing these technological marvels, fitting them
with an entirely re-engineered movement incorporating new materials and featuring innovative positions
for the gongs, gong rests and hammers. This patented technique is now in
service on Breguet minute repeater no. 7637."
The well-decorated movement ...
Please note the golden band surrounding the movement which looked like secured to the gold casing ....
I guessed this could be part of the assembly of the gong.
The super-polished (black-polish) hammers pivoted onto the jewels....
A closer view ...
Observe part of the gold-band was cut-away between the stud of the gold-band and the balance cock.
A closer view ....
