Badollet is one of those brands that don’t need any introduction, enjoying its fame as a watch manufacturing brand ever since 1655. The meticulous approach of the designers from Badollet has generated unique timepieces, with distinctive technical complications and amazing design features. Following their motto: “in the excesses of society, aim only for the best”, the people behind Badollet have proven that whatever the times, or the requirements of society, their brand maintains high its standards in watch manufacturing and the timepieces they create can only talk in favor of this brand.

        It is a common known fact that Badollet is amongst the most talked about brands in this industry of watch manufacturing, not only because of its long lasting tradition, but also because of their innovative approach to watch manufacturing. The timepiece introduced by Badollet goes by its name of Badollet Répétition Minute Watch and it’s definitely one of Badollet’s landmark pieces. This amazing timepiece features technical complications that helped the brand win a prize during the first edition of the Concours de l’Observatorie, back in 1872 and that helped propel the brand’s reputation as an esteem watch manufacturer in a highly competitive industry. At the same competition, the top 3 best chronometers were offered pocket watches by Badollet.

        The Badollet Répétition Minute watch provides sporty and complicated design that manages to remain classy and luxurious at the same time. Its case measuring 44 mm in diameter is made of shiny white gold and it is 14 mm thick. The design of the watch seems to approach a masculine look, given the choice of colors, the mixture between white gold and the blue hands, and also completed by the blue sapphires applied on the margins of the dial.

        The dial adds the perfect touch of distinction, because apart from the traditional functions of hour and minute, it also displays in a skeletonized design concept, a touribillon and a Montre a sonnerie. The hands pointing to the hours and minute are made of blue steel, matching the blue sapphires applied as hour markers. The name of the brand appears at 3 o’clock and not at 12 as we’re used to see in most watches. The Badollet Répétition Minute watch was designed to resist to 30 meters water resistance.

        What’s interesting and quite appealing in terms of design about the Badollet Répétition Minute Watch is the way the strap is connected with the case, it’s like there are no lugs, and the strap is simply glued to the roundly shaped case.

        The strap is simple and made of leather, on a black color to assure that air of distinction and elegance, required by a classy white gold case. The strap is also equipped with a folding buckle, providing a unitary look, almost like a leather bracelet accessory.
