An article comparing the Overseas Chronograph and the Type XXI would have to be quite technical, because the difference in movements is material to the cost difference between the two watches. I realize that comparing the gold Overseas Chronograph with the gold Marine Chronograph might be a better apples to apples comparison.

it was fun to write about a brand other than VC for a change. While my passion is for VC, I really appreciate Breguet's work. Bill
Breguet has kept quiet about the 5967....

and the watch seems to be "under the radar." Funny how we both had big articles about it ready to post at the same time. Your review of it is excellent. Bill
Very nice review

Both are beautiful watches, but my preference is still with the Breguet because of the dial appeals more to me. Thanks for a great review and comparison of the VC and Breguet. Regards, ED-209
Thanks Ed.

Not that I should be surprised, but responses to the review on the Breguet forum show a preference for the Breguet and on the VC forum a preference for VC! Bill
Very interesting comparison...VC use a small cal in the...

new Aronde as well, though like you say, it's an intellectual thing. Would love to see a comparative review of the Type XXI and the Overseas if you ever do get the chance. Would personally favour a Piguet chrono movement over a Lemania cam movement. If th...

Thank you for your kind words on the article. I am a fan of the Boutique Edition watches from VC, which for those who don't know, feature rose gold cases and black dials. Very elegant. If the size of the 40 mm Contemporaine is a problem for you, perhaps a...
Just found the Traditionelle Boutique on the net ... WOW
By: COUNT DE MONET : April 5th, 2011-11:17
That is now a VERY tough to decide between both! Read also your review of it and very good to know that VC did not use rhodium for the case, as I like to polish the cases of my wathes myself. That is also a very tempting aspect to choose the Traditionell ...
