Breguet Just Unveiled a Magnetic-Based Movement in the Expérimentale 1

Fresh off its top-prize win at the 2025 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève for the traditional Classique Souscription, pivots from the strictly historic to the futuristic with the Expérimentale 1. The watch is the debut piece in a new collection from the brand’s research and development department. The 75-piece limited edition, with a constant-force escapement based on magnetic resistance, is Breguet’s first high-frequency tourbillon, beating at a super-fast rate of 10 Hz, or 72,000 vph, more than double the industry standard of 4 Hz/28,800 vph (most traditional tourbillons run at a frequency of 2.5 Hz/18,000vph). The high frequency, which increases shock resistance, combines with the constant force magnetic escapement to give the watch a high chronometric rating.
