I never liked a 'face' on the moon phase
I can't think of any exceptions, where I like a facial expression on the moon--except for VC's EP LE Chrono perp. The poetic expression there is so human... but this sort, and Blancpain, and god forbid Sarpaneva (haha, whose work I admire greatly but agh, that moon face....) have never been on my like-list.
I don't like cartoony faces on an ultra high end work of art, though I know they have root in history and tradition.
I also find the dial busy in general. Too many criss-crossing hands, and a giant PR--why so giant?
Just my take. If it was in front of me, I know I would drool over the exquisite execution of every detail. But design wise... there ya go.
Good luck in your decision!
What are your thoughts on the enamel dial 7787?...
I've thought about this watch since I originally saw pics. I have not been able to see it live. Here's a pic. Thank you...
Really love the enamel dial of both the 7787 and 8787 model
I don't own this reference but had seen them before in a local AD here. Beautiful enamel dial, moonphase, case and deployment buckle. I like the white enamel dials in Breguets as their "luminous glow" are mesmerizing. Most enamel dials will have some bubb...
Thank you Robin. I appreciate...
The reference to Kong's review. I can't wait to see one live. There is a lot going on with the dial, but it seems to work in pictures. Since you have seen it, is it something you might buy?
Yep something I will consider strongly
If my next watch is to have an enamel theme, this Breguet is a strong contender. Talking about the dial design, I do find the power reserve indicator making it busy (I love the enamel dial, moon phase and Breguet blued steel hands) but seeing it in person...
I've not seen it live, too, but...
...I think a fine watch does not get better than this. I think it's one of the most beautiful, exquisite pieces available. Along with the dial, the PR hand is a highlight, IMO - some people don't like it that long, but I think it has all to do with the wa...
IMO, PR hand confuses time reading
Would have been 10x better had the PR hand been rendered in a different colour other than blue. Added contrast would have made for much easier reading of the time. Love the guilloche version of the dial.
Unique dial
Beautiful dial. The long se ones hand can make it a little busy (together with the PR). Enamel is delicate. Guilloche version is great.
I have seen them....
I have seen both references at the Zurich boutiques last year. Both are absolutely stunnung IMO. Personally I would go for the 36 mm version. stefan
a few pictures taken in the Boutique
I just "found" a few pics I took last year at the Zurich Boutique. Best, Stefan ...
A couple of minor things...
...love the 'moon-man,' very whimsical, dimensional, and classic. I'm not as thrilled with the 'counter' or 'tail' on the second hand. It seems too long to me. I wouldn't even mind if they got rid of the second hand entirely, especially if it resulted in ...
The moon ...
catches my attention when I look at this watch. I am a fan of moon phase indicators and this one has a different moon from those that you would typically see in watches. It has a face ! Another feature that draws my attention is the unusually long PR need...

why no date?
I like the look but hard for me to consider a moon phase without a date function
