Some similarities ;-) The story goes that Helmut Sinn and the Breguet family knew each other well ....

... and both had obviously strong ties to aeronautics.
Powered by a Valjoux 88, the Sinn watch - based on my exchange with Helmut Sinn back in 2011 - was produced in the early-/mid 1970ies and Helmut Sinn estimated to have prouced only "a few". There is also an exact same watch with the Matthey Tissot logo.
Christies had sold a Breguet version (like on the left in the first picture) on May 13, 2023 for CHF 113'400.-- and had the remark "less than 10 examples are known publicly". Breguet, different than Helmut Sinn, has a solid set of archive information and the Christies watch was originally sold according to those archives on March 9, 1967.
Cheers, HSTE
