The Classique Jumping Hour, reference 3370BA, is a limited and numbered model that was sold in 1989, exclusively for the Italian market. It is probably one of the most beautiful Breguets ever created, combining apparent aesthetic simplicity with technical complexity. The aesthetic of this watch may seem simple, but it achieves perfect harmony between the dial and the case. The dial is quintessentially Breguet, featuring three different guilloché patterns and the stunning eggshell white color, typical of the house. It blends perfectly with the “coin case,” named for the vertical pattern on the case's side. The 36mm size makes it ideal for anyone, man or woman, and fits with the spirit of the watch: a classy, understated yet extremely luxurious timepiece. The movement is the greatly underrated and mesmerizing jumping hour, which displays the hour in a window at 12 o’clock. The minutes are read via the blued hand, another signature Breguet design element.
This watch surprisingly complements a classy outfit just as well as jeans and a t-shirt. It is much more versatile than it appears, embodying all of Breguet’s savoir-faire and horological expertise. A must-have for any serious collector or anyone seeking a leather-strap watch.
