Some unusual Breguet. Cushion shape time only and flyback chronograph.
If I ask you what is an unusual Breguet, you will certainly think about the Type XX. Even though, decades after decades, it became popular and an indisputable part of Breguet.
Here, I will show you two very unusual watches you will have hard time believing they are Breguet. But they are!!!
First, a cushion shape from 1975, time only.
And now, a cushion shaped chronograph, flyback, from 1978.
Both cases have a sunburst finishing, as you can see.
We always discover and learn.
Best,
Nicolas

Unusual. I like them both but prefer the first one.
They’ve got typical 1970s cases and I wonder if they were a less expensive offering from Breguet as the quartz watches were becoming popular then. It would be interesting to see the finishing of the movements. Regards Kev.
Big fan of the cushion...
...I've seen the first but not the second (chrono). Both are very nice.
70s... not the best decade
I was born in the 70s, but not everything was better back then (cars and watches were experiencing a difficult soul-searching). The time-only model has some appeal but it is so far away from the brand ethos that we appreciate today! Do you think that toda...
That one is just WoW
A Purists re-edition would be great Now, does anyone have Mr Breguet's phone number? The 60s was a much better decade altogether: this is another example
Bréguet without the typical characteristics!
No Bréguet hands, numerals - incredible catch Nico ! Why double crown on the chrono ? Best, Mahesh.,
Interesting! It would be interesting to see the inside (origin anad finish of the movement)
Another unusual is the XX fitted with the alarm movement. I always wondered whether it was a JLC memovox movement inside, do you know? Best, E.
Big fan of these watches Nicolas.
Here's an interesting article from a few years ago about the time only. Regards, Baruch
These watches do not embody the design language of Breguet
Interesting to see for sure - thank you! I’m curious to see if they ever go down these roads again. I hope not I like where they are headed with their current design language (for the most part).
