In 2026, the Maison Breguet will further enliven the "Tradition" collection, which forms the historical pillar of the manufacture. The "Tradition" embodies Breguet's DNA in its exceptional style of concentrating all the Maison's design codes in a movement exposed on the dial side. One can read the brand's heritage, the legacy left by founder Breguet to future generations, and the path to the future he envisioned.
With these new specifications, these models have moved closer to a more contemporary Breguet style. Notably, this includes the transition from Roman to Arabic numerals on some models, new finishes applied to the movement in addition to the traditional grand feu enamel dial, and new straps.
Revisiting an Iconic Collection
Since its introduction in 2005, the "Tradition" collection has become a reference starting point for watch collectors over the past two decades. It encapsulates the two objectives pursued by Abraham-Louis Breguet: to create exceptional movements while simultaneously achieving perfect aesthetic harmony.
The "Tradition" model merges these two quests into a unique and coherent whole, displaying everything completely on the dial side. The perfectly symmetrical and balanced exceptional movement structure forms one of its fundamental identities. In fact, the caliber is inverted, exposing the watch mechanism, which is usually hidden on the back of the case, on the front. At a glance, all elements of the movement are visible, immediately revealing Breguet's superior qualities such as clear methodology, simple and legible arrangement of mechanisms, high-quality finishing, ingenious displays, and outstanding technology.
The off-center dial placed at the top of the watch draws direct inspiration from the "Montre à tact". The movement structure is also exactly the same, inheriting the structure of this iconic historical Breguet timepiece. The "Montre à tact" was devised by Abraham-Louis Breguet around 1795 and went on sale in 1799. This watch itself also inherits the design of the "Souscription" conceived several years earlier.
The new 2026 "Tradition" works to build a foundation to push the collection in a more contemporary direction. Paradoxically, it advances this by following historical concepts. This is to faithfully reflect the vision of watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. His vision was to tirelessly evolve his watchmaking technology and design, maintaining a cutting-edge position while striving for integration with his era. The new "Tradition" breathes a solid contemporary sense into every corner, utilizing historical know-how and modern advanced technology.
With these new works, Breguet once again clearly incorporates the philosophy of its founder, Abraham-Louis Breguet. Through this, it meets the expectations of 21st-century watch collectors who are looking for watches that match the tastes and lifestyles of their generation.
Tradition 7037
The "Tradition 7037" makes a strong statement of individuality despite its simple appearance. It features a 38mm white gold case, two hands for hours and minutes, and a retrograde small seconds that indicates its reliable operation through a 50-hour power reserve.
Due to this extremely refined choice of specifications, the area around the dial is greatly expanded, maintaining its pure expression unhindered by any complications. The components are arranged in exquisite harmony, but the true display of the manufacture's capability lies precisely in the finishing work.
