Bill, your pictures of my watch are much better

than my pictures of my watch smile  Thanks for showing the 7727 in a better light than I did,  and thanks for the information on the movement.   As you know this is why I wanted the watch.  As Nico said the technology has yet to be proven, but after reading about the movement and seeing how great the watch looked I was willing to take a chance on the magnets and the high frequency (double silicon hairsprings as well, very cool smile)  It has been running non-stop since its arrival and it seems to be keeping time very accurately although I have no way to determine the precision Breguet claims the watch has.  Honestly I am not that worried about it, the watch looks great, is very comfortable, nice size, and for now will be my daily watch for work.  My other watches are bigger, thicker, heavier and more likely to get dinged and damaged at the office.  I love the little 2 second hand as a visual representation of the movement's high frequency, just a reminder of what is going on inside the case.  Again thanks to Bill for helping me acquire it.  He is a great source of knowledge, is able to get new items quickly and is a good friend smile

The magnetic pivot points is very unusual and unique. The detail of this watch is so detailed; from the 40 steps on the dial for the 2 second hand that makes 40 vibrations in those two seconds. Thank you for bringing this watch and its technical details t... 

The 10 Hertz mention on the dial is not very a propos, I find, but for the rest, Wow!
