5207

  

Hi strap lovers.  This is the second strap is had the pleasure of making for my local customer’s stunning Breguet 5207 and I must say, having had the opportunity to spend more time with the beauty, I find myself more enamored that before. In white gold with power reserve at top and jumping seconds hand at bottom together with it’s wonderfully textured silver hobnail dial and coin edge case, it is one of the most beautiful watches ever.  This watch is no study in minimalist design, which suits me just fine.  Because, while I appreciate minimalist design philosophy, In real life, I find myself more naturally attracted to intricate,  complex design elements working in together to achieve a balance, harmonious whole.  The Breguet 5207 does this in spades and so is perfectly matched with a watch strap which has enough intricacy in texture and pattern, not to compete with, but to balance and sustain the complex design elements of  the watch.  It’s truly a feast for the eyes.  How could one n ot be memorized by its beautiful little details and it jumping second hand.  It’s symphony in 60 second increments.
