A New Chapter in High Frequency Innovation With The Breguet Expérimentale 1
Breguet Expérimentale 1 introduces a 10 Hz tourbillon with magnetic escapement in Breguet gold, advancing precision through research driven innovation.
With the Expérimentale 1, Breguet launches the first model in its new exploratory research and development line. This limited edition represents a forward-looking vision of Haute Horlogerie, where technical experimentation and traditional craftsmanship meet.
Housed in an 18K Breguet gold case measuring 43.5 mm in diameter, the watch introduces a bold mechanical architecture.
At its core lies a manual winding movement operating at 10 Hz, a notably high frequency that enhances stability and precision. The calibre integrates a tourbillon combined with a magnetic escapement, an innovative system designed to deliver constant force to the balance wheel while improving chronometric performance.
By carefully controlling magnetism within the movement, the design aims to optimise energy transmission and regulate oscillations more effectively. The use of a flat silicon balance spring further contributes to resistance against external influences such as shocks and temperature variations.
This technical ensemble reflects a research-driven approach while remaining rooted in the brand’s heritage of mechanical refinement.
The Expérimentale 1 is certified under the Breguet hallmark in the Scientific category, recognising its advanced construction and performance-oriented design. Through this initiative, Breguet signals a commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking while maintaining the aesthetic and artisanal standards associated with the Maison.
Combining innovation, precision engineering and precious materials, the Expérimentale 1 stands as a statement of intent.
It demonstrates how contemporary research can expand the possibilities of mechanical timekeeping without abandoning the principles that define fine Swiss watchmaking.
