Back to the basics

My first Breguet. “Plus simple et plus plat” they said at Breguet Boutique Paris some 21 years ago. I love its capture of A.L. Breguet’s original vision

Experimenting with different strap combos for the Breguet Tradition 7027

I wanted to pick up something special for a milestone birthday. This is my first Breguet, and my first high horology and precious metal piece. It really is watch enthusiast nirvana- so many cool, well thought out details on display. Thanks to everyone on
