Combining modern and historical horology, Breguet presents this year its new Tradition Chronographe Indépendant 7077 model. Truly innovative, it is fitted with two independent trains. The first is the going train for the hours and minutes and the second one for the chronograph. Thus, the movement remains unaffected when the chronograph is started. Among the features that recall the historical roots of the Tradition collection are the patented pare-chute anti-shock devices as well as the chronograph control which recalls that of the reference 4009 double-second observation timer sold by Breguet on January 6th 1825.
