Today’s treasures from Baselworld include a mix of men’s ladies’ and a wild table clock. Featured are MB&F, Carl F. Bucherer, Girard-Perregaux, and Breguet.

Girard-Perregaux Tri-Axial Tourbillon (pictured above) is a triple-axis tourbillon, with one carriage rotating ones every minute, the second rotating every 30 seconds, and the third rotating every two minutes. The entire escapement is accommodated by a dome in the crystal, which keeps the case small.

Carl F. Bucherer’s Pathos is an entirely new line for ladies, with a woven filigree motif in openworked gold over white ceramic on the bezel and case side. This is the fully set version.

The Breguet Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon, Ref. 3797 is a redesigned version of the Ref. 3757, with a new chapter ring made of opaque sapphire crystal for reading the hours and minutes. It features a retrograde date and a power reserve indicator as well as perpetual calendar functions and a tourbillon.
