Breguet

the idea of a rattrapante has long been a wish for me and over the years several alternatives have been considered. Throughout this process the Breguet 3947 has consistently surfaced as one of the top contenders. 38mm, a little height to the case, large c...  

Keks, you have exquisite taste as always. Agree with you regarding Breguet - I have expectations from the world renowned brand... And I hope that the brand steps it up.

Much appreciate your kind words!

Much appreciated, it is quite a pleasure to wear I will admit

Wear it in the best of health.

although there are many spectacular pieces ever made... it sure does go a long way!

thanks!!

Your rattrapante is one of the truly sublime offerings from the pre-Swatch Breguet. Daniel Roth, by the way, had much to do with the ultimate Breguet take on the Lemania chronograph movement. As well as their perpetual and calendar watches. Breguet was pr... 

Agree on every point. Still few seem to realize it!!

Looks great on that strap combo.

Indeed great strap color but will have to find one that tapers a bit more toward the buckle. Then I happy… for a while at least

in a way, im glad it is under the radar, .... so beautiful

May I ask where you got the strap from? Got inspired and want to try a similar combo with one of my piece! Thanks and greetings from Germany!

It is a generic strap, you should be a able to find without an issue something very similar. I am currently on the hunt for another strap as I find this one a tad thick for my tastes (to clarify I prefer very thin leather straps, this one happens to be re...
