Gorgeous. I don't think any other metal would better express this design.
AWESOME.
Macro shots of my Breguet La Tradition in yellow gold
Hi all Here are some macro shots of my beloved Breguet La Tradition. The first model in yellow gold. Hope you will enjoy my pics. Do you have a preference? Thank you for your comments. Best wishes Alkiro...
Enjoyed it all!
Hoping that we will enjoy these great pics? For sure. My favorite is the one with the power reserve indicator...really cool shot!
I have strong preference towards this watch
It's my favorite modern Breguet Very nice macros I like forth picture most What was setup and gear? Sincerely D P.S. Save something for Monday
Many thanks Ares501
When I saw this Breguet for the first time, I immediately fell in love. After some years, I have mixed feelings between the yellow and rose gold models (the 38mm case size as I do not like the 40mm ones for many reasons). Finally, I opted for the yellow g...
Yes I remember post of dearly missed AndrewD
My question was what was equipment you took Macros with Cheers D
Sorry Ares501 for the misunderstanding.
Well, I only use a magnifying glass and my iPhone 6S. Nothing else. And I try to do my best ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Thank you Alkiro for
yet another proof that I thrown money out of window buying D800 and lenses
Magnificent shots! Thanks for sharing.
I much prefer the way that power reserve indicator to the one on the current model.
Thank you Luis
Well, if you are talking about the 40mm manual winding models, I am fully agree with you. For me, with the bigger size of the hour dial, the positioning of the power reserve indicator is like an excrescence IMHO. Best wishes Alkiro
It certainly lives up to its name "Tradition"..
Hand finished anglage, Breguet overcoil, Freesprung balance.. Similar to how the big boys (Philippe Dufour, K. Voutilainen, Laurent Ferrier et al) do it...
Very nice photos. Breguet makes very nice watches, but way under-appreciated here...
not sure why, maybe the after sales value. They were once on my dream list, but I cannot afford it then during my shopping in Lucerne 2012, so I went with Blancpain. Rgds Raymond
Thank you Raymond
Like you, I think some Breguet are undervalued even if it is always a difficult question to answer. Is it a question of style, price or resale I do not really know? In any case, it is not a question of quality trust me ;-) As a lucky owner of several watc...
Thank you...Somehow I tried on different watches at Guberlin Lucerne...
this one spoke to me right away, that "ah-ha" moment. I had a post in Blancpain forum few years ago about this one. I think it was due to childhood memories reading all those magazines. The newer models just doesn't click. Rgds Raymond
Man I love these photos !
and also this watch!! Now I am poisoned you Vlad.... :p Cheers Robin
Thank you Robin
This watch is really stunning not only in the Breguet collection but in the overall watch production in my opinion. It really has something special and different. Best wishes Alkiro
Superb!
Superb set of pictures! And of course a perfect watch for this exercise: I'm not very fond of yellow gold but I have to admit that it looks very good on your macro shots. Thanks for sharing.
Personal taste
Well, it is really a matter of personal taste. I know that the yellow gold is closer to the historical pieces from Louis Abraham Breguet, but I prefer the more modern aspect of the dark gray version. Mine says hi! ...
Yours is also a really nice one with a very modern look compared to mine. It is really strange to see how the same watch can change so much with different golds.
To be honest, I hesitated a long time with this one. But, without any hesitation, the 38mm is the most desirable one compared to the 40mm ones. Credit: Kong Best wishes Alkiro ...
Agreed about the size: the original 37mm is much better than newer 40mm...
... especially since they did not developed a new movement...
Brilliant piece and pictures!
I\'d definitely also tend toward the 37mm. Did they make a WG version in that size, too?
Yes my friend. Two versions in WG
This one that I do not really love. And this one which is more interesting IMHO. Best wishes Alkiro ...
The second one is very cool IMHO :)
Some elements remind me of a Piaget 900P but it is a great piece in its own right
Stunning photography (as always), Alkiro!
Fantastic watch and I am in full agreement with regards to this version of the Tradition. It is THE one to have. May I please ask what the catalogue is that you used as a background to the photos? Thank you in advance.
Thank you Bounce781
Here is a picture of my background. It is a catalogue from 1955. Best wishes Alkiro ...
