Marine Equation Marchante 5887

The equation of time ranks among horology's most fascinating mechanisms. Only a rare few watchmakers have turned their attention to a complication that shows the difference between mean and true solar time – a discrepancy of between –16 and +14 minutes depending on the sun's position over the course of the year. Breguet's Marine Equation Marchante takes up the challenge to display solar time and civil time simultaneously, on the same dial, by means of two separate minute hands. As if this weren't enough, Breguet has incorporated the additional complexity of a tourbillon, of course, and a perpetual calendar. This mechanical prowess is exalted by a dial whose guilloché wave decoration makes subtle reference to the marine inspiration of this exceptional timepiece, crafted in 950 platinum.
