Not chronometers
Hi,
When watches started to interest me, I also wanted to get chronometers. I really believed that certified chronometers would be somehow more accurate and better than "normal" watches.
However, the reality is very different. Many top Manufacturers are having their own standard which easily pass the standards of COSC Chronometers. And Brequet is one of the top brands.
So if you feel that Brequet is your watch, just go for it. Your new watch will most likely be as accurate or more accurate than any "standard" COSC Chronometer.
Best regards,
Kari
Are the Breguet Type XX or XXI Chronometers ?
Dear Breguet Afficionados, Looking for a new watch I decided I want a chronograph, best accompanied with one or more other functions or complications, e.g a second time zone or GMT, 24 hour dial or something else. I love the Breguet brand and style, mostl...

re: chronometer
Hi Kari, you are right, i might be concentrating on the wrong parameter. Thanks for your comment anyway. I am just not sure what to do and look for reasons in both ways, why I should or why I should not buy. Slightly complicated. In principle the 20 has t...
In case of doubt, pass on it.
There are many other watches to get, to be uncertain at the moment of the decision. Generally, hesitant love stories always end in a bad way. Best, Nicolas
designed with flaws?
Hi Just interested in what you meant by designed with flaws. I found it perfectly balanced and good looking. Type XX is too small for my eyes for a chronograph, XXI is much better. The small dial at the 3 o'clock position is really not of much use when th...
flaws
Hi Ivan, dont get me wrong, the dial is balanced in its general view. That is correct, and I will supposedly not buy the XX because it is too small, as you said. Same opinion. What I do not like with the dial of the XXI is the following: 1. the colour is ...
your points taken
Hi Timetraveller your points taken. I have the the steel bracelet version and I have to agree with you the dial colour has a tint of brown and goes better with the brown strap but it is not so bad after all. I think it is better than a boring black. Many ...
you are right
Ivan, thanks for your repy. I totally agree. There should be some credit been given for the innovativeness and I still consider taking this watch due to the central second and minutekeeper which are fabulous. Should I go for the XXI after all, I would def...
