CHAIN OF COMMAND
It is sublime beauty to watch the chain in motion on Breguet's Tradition Fusee Tourbillon ($189,700). To maintain that constant force while the watch is running, the fusee-and-chain transmission are connected to the barrel, which offers superb precision. The platinum wristwatch houses a hand-wound movement with
tourbillon escapement. It also has several patent applications: one for the large tourbillon resonator, one for the titanium balance, three related to the silicon balance springs, and one for the power reserve indicator that is fitted directly onto the barrel at nine o'clock.
