My first Breguet - 7787 with enamel dial
Feb 27, 2013,13:10 PM
I have admired the brand for years,
especially the moon phase models, yet always some other watch was in my
sights. Lately, however, I have had a growing desire for a Breguet moon
phase, since I have been without a moon phase since I sold my Patek. My
youngest daughter, 5, loves the moon, and we would track its phases,
along with the planets, so I'm looking forward to doing this again!
I was in Chicago this past weekend and visited the new Swatch Group
store, and they had a very nice selection of various brands. I was
especially taken with the 7787 in rose gold with enameled dial. I slept
on it and decided it was a fine entry into the world of Breguet.
I really love the enamel and rose gold combination, and the dial creates
a dynamic interplay of classic elegance and playfulness that is
extremely appealing. A couple of bad cell phone pictures upon arrival:

I've read some negative comments elsewhere about the large power reserve indicator hand and the long tail of the seconds hand being too busy. I can understand how one might think that from pictures, but I think in the flesh, it does not appear that way. T...
Beautiful enamel dial!

... and I certainly agree on the various comments you made regarding the design. This piece needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate the various elements and how well they work together as a whole. Mine says "Hi" (sorry for the bad cell phone pic).....
