Breguet

Had the opportunity to see the new La Tradition 7597 in metal today. On the wrist In rose gold also very, very nice! A very, very convincing new watch from Breguet, that compliments the La Tradition line nicely! ...  

Would you have preferred a manual wind?

Note the pusher at 10, which is buttery soft to handle, needs a bit thicknes of the case. I think an auto was the best choice here. Wearing comfort is flawless.

When I mentioned that the La Tradition looks best outdoors, with natural light, the boutique staff offered me to take the watch outside in oder to take picture . Very kind people!

Certainly a must see on the wrist, before buying anything else. May I ask what your wristsize is, Count? Thanks for the effort taking the pictures... George

I have got a 7.1 inch wrist, but I did not put the watch properly on, did not fasten the strap and left both ends open. It wears like any 40 mm watch, very comfortable.

Düsseldorf isn’t that far from the Dutch border... Thanks again and have a nice friday! George

But for some reason I'm still on the fence about the 7597.

I just noticed that the date track mirrors the design of what Breguet uses for it's power reserve and fly back second hand tracks on other references. It's consistent with the brand's DNA.

The design of the of the date track is really technical: note the bolts.

I really dislike watches with a date window, but this looks amazing. George
