Ugh, where's the Breguet DNA?

There aren't terrible and I may warm to a version over time, but right now, ugh. The back gets rid of the guilloche rotor as well. 


I will say, however, that the lugs, which seem to be a point of criticism online, aren't bad at all in person. I've tried on last year's kickoff to the new Marine line, the tourbillon perpetual calendar, equation of time marchant. The lugs don't bother me at all. 

Also: No bracelet for this line...that's interesting.

Breguet 2018 Collection: Classique and Marine.

A quick overview on these 2 lines, unveiled this year. The Classique line, very much Breguet, with a time only and a tourbillon. The Classique Time Only is so called Extra Plate, with its 38 mm case, whose height is 5, 45 mm. Not the thinner, for sure, bu...  

Good one. ;) [nt]

the Titanium is my favorite. Powerful sublime character. If I may share my adoration. I adore chronograph and this Breguet Marine Chronograph is 99.9% perfect (without date) even damn sexy compare to other chrono due to my addiction to asymentry. Nonethes... 

The Alarme Musicale is interesting

It's the Marine equivalent of the Classique Tsar - alarm and dual time. Thanks for the heads up. Jim

Thanks for the overview Nicolas. Nice to see the family shot.

I’m afraid I’ve already made my judgement. The Classiques are, as ever, gorgeous but the Marines - oh dear. The radical new design of the dials just don’t do it for me. I had a Marine Big Date which was a fine watch and managed to look sporty whilst still... 

Roman numerals and "sports" watch

don't go well together in my mind. There should have been either simple markers for the indices or Arabic numerals, that is just me!

I’m smitten by all the Marines

Time titanium maybe one of my all time favorite designs. Minimalist with character. Can’t wait to see these in the metal.

Ugh, where's the Breguet DNA?

What do you think about the titanium model (time and date model)

I am looking at this piece, as possibly my next purchase. That and a few other options. Should I go for this, or a classic styled breguet like the 5277. Thanks Nico.

Thanks Nico
