Established 230 years ago by horological genius Abraham-Louis Breguet, Montres Breguet today follows in the founder's path by continuing to create exceptional technological and aesthetic timepieces. Among the most exquisite modern creations is undeniably the CLASSIQUE MINUTE REPEATER PERPETUAL reference 5447. It features a complex manually-wound movement that is entirely engraved by hand and drives three highly intriguing complications - perpetual calendar, minute repeater and the complex retrograde jumping-month mechanism. Of particular note is the optimised striking mechanism. The harmony between the two gongs has been enhanced using psycho-acoustic tests and analyses that served to fine-tune clarity, sound resolution and auditory compatibility. The positioning of the gong holders has also been modified so as to achieve the most crystal-clear sound achievable within the case, which serves as a resonance chamber.
