Fratello’s First Impressions with Lex Stolk and Robert-Jan Broer. Fratello editor Lex is confronted with a surprise watch! For this video, we show him a Breguet Classique from the “grand complications” collection, the Répétition Minutes, with reference 7637. A 42mm rose gold watch with black “grand feu” enamel dial with Breguet numerals. The beautiful hand-engraved movement features a minute repeater complication. The hammers will hit the hours, quarters, and minutes on the gongs by activating the lever. Let’s see what Lex says about this watch upon first impression!

This is a very interesting series, looking forward to seeing more. Are dress watches really coming back? I kind of agree, but not the "dress watches" we've come to know. I personally don't think there will be a time where 34-36mm ultra slim dress watches will become the norm again (at least not any time soon). However, I do believe brands like FP Journe rekindled interest in 38-41mm sized "quasi dress watches". This is clear when you see watches like Patek's 5226G, 611G (and other Calatravas), AP CODE 1159, various Moser "dress" references. This Breguet, at least aesthetically would be right down many peoples' alley today. Perhaps a hand finished minute repeater won't sell out immediately (no shit!), but I can absolutely see Breguet creating something very popular with 39-41mm coin edge, versatile, manual wind watches on leather straps. I don't see why FP Journe Soverain watches should do much better than something like a classique from Breguet, tbh!

well, Cartier is the number two brand in Swiss exports... they sell mostly what could be called "dress watches"?

Very nice indeed! Unfortunately because it’s a Breguet, its price on the secondary market will plummet. So anybody interested in purchasing this wonderful watch. Should wait a while and then buy it used.

Or how about going back to buying watches with the intention of keeping them and passing them down, instead of looking at them as investments.

@DavidDatura 8 ай бұрын

@@yashnigam6 I’m not referring to investment watches here at all! But if you can get a great watch like this (for keeps!) at a considerable discount, but still nearly new on the pre-owned market, it just makes more sense. Unless you’re filthy rich and don’t need to care about such things. Which the vast majority of people aren’t.

A real "Heavy Hitter" for a first part of a hopefully awesome series! Keep them coming!

It can be called a watch if it fills the following criteria: >Mechanical (No PM 80 or Co-Axial) >Costs more than the average home in your country >Precious metal case (and bracelet), gold or platinum >Made by a brand that was founded before the 19th century (resurrected or zombie brands not allowed). >Has at least one grand complication if it's not a dress watch.

The only thing not to like is the price…other than that - perfect.

Beautiful watch, Breguet done well with having a no date on this one.

@angelosc1795 8 ай бұрын

Very beautiful, with a lot of character. A version without any complication, classic three hander, would be my preference. Congratulations to Breguet for trying something new

Awesome, keep them coming. Especially, with Breguet.

Absolutely beautiful ! Hopefully they will make this colour combo in more basic complication... minute repeaters are expensive (works of Art).

Lovely video, and cool to see the honest reaction. Funnily enough I don't like the look of the movement. I prefer a large bridge and a sense of tranquility, and this engraving and architecture is just, well, very busy. The party here is definitely on the dial side, and from my perspective they could have kept the rear behind a closed gold caseback. The case, hands and dial are fantastic. But hey, I realise I might be one of the vanishingly few who hold that opinion.

She is a beauty. That price is too high. Wait a few years and it will sell pre-owned for less than half that.

@StruanRobertson29 8 ай бұрын

That price is outrageous....thats a real shame this is out of the reach of the majority of enthusiasts

@ottomondo1368 8 ай бұрын

Great format. Amazing watch. But how can that compare to an amazing rose gold Rolex GMT with lots of gaudy sapphires and a generic movement? It won’t match well with baseball cap worn akimbo and meters of thick gold chains. No rapper will be wearing this… oh wait, NO RAPPER WILL BE WEARING THIS! Hmmmm.

What i think? Too large diameter for my taste. And I request the Swatch group to rethink the usage of silicone balance springs in their high horology watches.

@JamesAlexander14 8 ай бұрын

Why? Less servicing and longer power reserve with better accuracy and you want to do away with that…

@cedarcanoe 8 ай бұрын

high horology is about using traditional methods and techniques in a watch. When using silicone, you can just as well put a quartz in it. It will outperform silicone. @@JamesAlexander14

@CaptCanuck4444 8 ай бұрын

This would be beautiful as a time only watch, if priced accordingly. As such, it is no more than horological masturbation by a largely irrelevant brand.
