Nice report!
An impressive looking range. I really like the look of the Hora Mundi in PG. Thanks for posting.
a choice difficult to understand
Dear Marcus, thank you for this beautiful report. Indeed i am very much surprised by the way Breguet first implemented then "improved" (if we can use this term) the Type XXII. This model might have been a groundbreaking reference point for all other brand...
