Breguet 5347 Twin Rotating Tourbillons
For 2009 Breguet introduces Ref. 5347 with twin rotating tourbillons in pink gold. Housed in a 44mm case, the tourbillons operate independently and rotate on the hour axis, completing one revolution every 12 hours. The two tourbillons are coupled by means of differential gears and are mounted on a rotating center plate. The differential device conveys the two tourbillons’ mean rate to the rotating center plate. The watch consists of over 570 components. The movement, Cal. 588, is adjusted to 6 positions and runs in 69 jewels at 2.5 Hz.

In 1999 I combined these interests by joining TimeZone.com as its first full-time employee, and later that year I attended my first Basel Fair. I managed TZ from 2000-2007, and in 2008 I joined WatchTime. My other interests include cycling, cars, building custom turntables, painting, and inventing.
