... let me quote myself from a post I made on June 8 this year:
„The Breguet La Marine timepieces carry numerous references to the nautical world, some very obvious, some needing more explanation. Just to name a few: you will find reference to a ship rudder in the movement rotors and the deployant clasps, the case uses waves as crown protectors or pushers, the moving parts of the lugs are to resemble navigation marks sitting on top of buoys, the counterweight to the central seconds hands show the letter B from the nautical flag alphabet, the 5 minute indices and some small hands on subdials refer to nautical signal flags. The one piece roman numerals, filled with luminous material, find their origin in some nautical symbolised drawings, the guilloche dials obviously show some beautiful waves, the Geneva stripes on the movements are in fact no Geneva stripes but meant to resemble boat decks.“
The Marine needs to be explained to fully understand all the relevant thoughts and references behind the design. This is something that Breguet maybe could emphasize more.
Cheers
Henrik

I'm very intrigued with the Heritage. A less popular offering from Breguet, but I think the guilloche patterns on it look fantastic, and the coin edging works well on the tonneau case. The 10 Hz classique is a favorite of mine as well!

Wonderful pictures!

Thank you for those appealing impressions, dear Henrik! The Classique Chronometrie, the Chronographe ref 5287, the Heritage Grande Date and especially the Hora Mundi are a feast for the eyes. I feel more and more attracted by Breguet. On the other hand am...

for your detailed explanations. I haven’t imagined and realized how profound and far-reaching the thoughts have been in order to create the design of these new models. I am impressed. On the other hand: having a good explanation can’t change the emotion a...

Great report

Thanks for sharing. I rally like that GMT/Worldtime version where with one push of the pusher the watch resets to the city indicated. Easy to use. Plus a question: do you or does anybody have an idea why we only see Breguet with the 10 MHz technology? On ... 

Great photos!

Such a gorgeous dial. I'm not a huge fan of the long straight lugs on most Breguet watches, so this might work better for me as well.

Wow!

This watch has an impressive presence! Congrats Thomas
