One-minute primer to the Breguet Marine Équation Marchante 5887.

One may question the everyday relevance of an equation of time feature, but the mechanical complexities involved in measuring the difference between civil and true solar time is undeniable. Therein lies the appeal of the Marine Équation Marchante 5887, armed with a central minute hand adorned with a facetted sun that indicates the running solar time. Coupled with a perpetual calendar, as well as a tourbillon, this watch is pretty much irresistible to discerning lovers of technical watches. Equipped with an in-house automatic movement, it is available in platinum or 18K rose gold.
