From the shape of the bridges to the pare-chute shock-absorber system, as well as the size of the balance and wheels, all components of the new Tradition Quantième Rétrograde 7597 are implicitly inspired by the souscription and tact watches created by Abraham-Louis Breguet.
Launched in 1797, the souscription was equipped with a single hand for reading the hours and minutes. The design of this refined yet minimalist timepiece was avant-garde for its era, as was its concept, since a quarter of the price had to be paid when the order was placed.
