The rabbit will take over from the tiger at the Chinese New Year on 22 January 2023. Breguet celebrates the Year of the Rabbit with an 8 pieces limited edition timepiece dedicated to women. The Classique 9075 watch is adorned with 6 rabbits whose beauty gently manifests women’s sense of smartness and grace.
The dial of the Classique 9075 showcases 6 rabbits playing around the greens against the backdrop of clouds. All the patterns are hand-engraved on an 18-carat white gold dial. While the central motif is engraved below the surface of the enamel, rabbits are engraved on the enamel.
The enamel is applied on the dial in several layers and placed in an oven at 800°C . The translucent enamel and the opaque white enamel need to be applied in successive layers. The enameller needs to master the knowledge of painting and colors of the enamel after firing, as well as how each color changes at different temperatures. The dial must remain at a well-defined final thickness, securing a delicate stage of sizing as well as the height and aesthetic finishing of the dial.
The 9075 model is fitted with the hand-decorated self-winding 591C caliber. The movement is equipped with a silicon in-line Swiss lever escapement and a silicon flat balance spring. This movement, which includes 171 components, beats at a frequency of 4 Hz and has a 38-hour power reserve. The case resistance is 3 bar (30m). As in Breguet tradition, the components of the caliber are all finished by hand, by the craftsmen of the Manufacture. The timepiece can also be admired from the back with its gold oscillating weight, delicately decorated with barleycorn patterns guilloche work.
