Breguet Marine Hora Mundi 5557 - a reinterpretation
By SENATUS Editor | 20 February 2023

Breguet unveils a new interpretation of its Hora Mundi model within the Marine collection, a timepiece combining technical and aesthetic feats. This mechanical watch, which had taken three years to develop and been awarded four patents, featured a critical asset in the shape of an instant-change dual-time display.

The dial offers a fascinating interpretation of the world on the wrist by a play on materials and superimposed plates. On the first gold base, the hand-guilloché waves lap gently against the shores of the continents. The sunburst dial base attired in abyssal blue creates the impression of a permanent waltz of the wave motifs.

This effect may also be due to the way in which the continents are depicted: an additional plate made of sapphire is composed of the metallised meridians and the continents are treated to horizontal satin brushing, while their coastlines are subtly outlined with a metallic turquoise border. Finally, an outer flange serves as a support for the various elements present on the dial. The result features brilliantly crafted dimensions and surfaces thanks to various treatments requiring several weeks of work.

The cities corresponding to the different time zones are indicated at 6 o'clock. A metallised anchor appearing above the window serves to determine the place whose current time you wish to consult.
