Breguet’s Classique Tourbillon: A dazzling mix of diamonds and precision

A new Breguet timepiece that's covered in diamonds

The latest Breguet watch is a marvelous piece with beautiful diamonds and a unique design. It symbolizes the brand’s innovative spirit and horological elegance, passed down through time. Thanks to a unique stone-setting technique, the watch has an elegant pattern that makes the dial stand out. According to Breguet, the Classique Tourbillion 3358 is the embodiment of Abraham Louis Breguet’s ideas, which date back to 1801.

Abraham Louis, the founder of the brand, came up with a unique technique of setting gems on a watch’s dial in the 19th century. While this timepiece has a dazzling front face, it also stands out due to its mechanical precision. Abraham Louis’ innovations merged these two fields into one—mechanical precision and style.

The dial comes with different diamonds, set in different positions to create a circular pattern that converges at one point, reflecting light stylishly. Stones are positioned close to one another to cover the base that supports them.

In terms of performance, this timepiece is powered by one of the most innovative movements from the brand, the in-house caliber 187D tourbillon, which is capable of offering a 50-hour power reserve. It’s a movement that was developed for precision and accuracy by Abraham Louis but has been updated over the past few decades to keep up with the times.

Speaking of which, the watch’s dial has different cuts, which offer views into the mechanism. While the front face features hundreds of diamonds, the back has an interesting moon-like texture, characterized by grooves and ridges.

Overland Sheepskin is taking us back to the 70s and 80s with this year’s vintage look
Overland Sheepskin Co

A few years ago, I got the chance to jet off to Santa Fe and explore the mountains in a Jeep. Off-roading in some of the most beautiful country I have ever been lucky enough to view. When I was there, I hopped in a car and left the town center to head to Taos, a small outpost seemingly in the middle of nowhere. What I found was a flagship store looking the same as it did half a century ago. Attached to it was a restaurant and a few rooms to stay in. Why the interest? Because Overland Sheepskin Co. became more than a company selling coats to the people showing up in the mountains to ski, or explore. It became a center of a community. That community grew until the outerwear was known for its quality and was dubbed the King of the Mountain Towns.

Nowadays, when I think of them, I see a mountain sheriff keeping the peace. I see Robert Redford in the wilderness. I see a culture of excellence. This weekend, Overland dropped a new collection of their vintage pieces harkening back to the beginning days of their craftsmanship. The 70s and 80s return in this twelve-piece collection.

A DECADE of &SONS chronicled in a new collection
&SONS

A decade ago, Phil James had a problem. He couldn’t find anything he wanted to wear on the clothing racks. There were big names everywhere in 2016. Names that had been generational legends for years. But, no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn’t find the clothing he truly wanted to wear. So, he decided to do what any rational person would do when they have nothing to wear: He started his own business. &SONS was born, and after ten years of providing some of the best British workwear, DECADE is a collection that celebrates what he and his team have done on their journey.

I have always been drawn to the marketing side of the brand. It makes sense; James has experience in his career that predates &SONS, as a marketing photographer. So, no wonder all the images looked amazing. Noe, the new collection looks back on that experience and the rising name he has built.
