I spent a good 10 minutes handling this watch at the Boutique. The 38mm is great size and sits well on my small wrist even after factoring the straight lugs. There are some small internal angles in the 2 front wheels visible via the loupe, which probably explains the pricing. The dial is beautifully executed. I understand the wait is 2 months after a 25% deposit. That number on the dial is not sequential from 1 to 250.
Verdict: I would have bought it if not for an intense year of watch acquisition. The dial colour combination of yellow-blue is attractive and the size is perfect. A very strong release by Breguet in my view, and I highly recommend it. There is plastic cover on the dial as this is for display.
Waiting to see live pics of this
New Breguet (LE 250 pce) A once existing model but discontinued, reintroduced with a nice guilloche and enamel dial 50.000 euro ...
Very beautiful watch.
I would have preferred hand wind though, but I’m probably in the minority.
Funny you say that;)))
It was the first thing I looked on the back side! However, this is also a Breguet DNA, so I can’t fault it, except the price!
For the price, I need to take a closer look what significant improvements it has over the 7037.
Cant exactly recall but this is at least about 2x the list of 7037 back then? Since I have the 7037, I am not overly excited with this release.
Hmm
While I love Breguet, it is hard for me to get excited about this ‘special’ release to celebrate their 250th. Looks like not much more than a slight tweaking of prior model, albeit with a lovely dial
Ditto
It's the same watch with a bigger counter, that is partially hiding the power reserve. Was it too difficult to re-design it? Far from being impressed, another missed opportunity
that dial is sooooo beautiful 😍
I had the pleasure of seeing it first hand yesterday, together with the Classique Souscription. a very Breguet watch
Another beautiful release by Breguet!
But, why did they have to put the dedicated 250th anniversary ” Quai de l’Horloge” motif at 4 o’clock? Is there not plenty of space still on the dial?
Concerning the price…. Not that high is you ask me
Ok 50k is a lot of money but the 7097 ( in fact the same watch but the newer version is I believe 43 ) So you pay about 15% more than the regular production For 15% more you get a limited edition (250) you get the power reserve hand engraved instead of th...
I’m not blown away
But it is cool to add more hand crafts. Maybe I’m wrong, I recall from when JLC did this, with guilloche then enamel, that it’s called flinque enamel?
Looks nice!
As an owner of the 7037 I can't help but approve of Breguet selling a nice new version of my watch. And as a certified cheapskate I also can't help but mention that you could get about four of these for the price Breguet is asking for one. ...
I like the script logo (a tad too big) but...
...could do without the edition number at 4. Put it on the back of the case. Btw, 38mm x 12.6mm is chunky. That is Submariner thick.
The blue enamel over guilloche has some nice nuance in person.
But IMO not as nice as the deep blue of the Ginza And while I also love that "pendule" rotor - especially as it largely covers one of the least elegant bridges - the thickness leaves the lugs suspended in mid air above my wrist which doesn't work for me I...
