Thank you for reading....
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.

Comparative Review: Breguet and Vacheron Constantin
Vacheron Constantin and Breguet are two of the most prestigious watch manufacturers operating today. Both houses are at the pinnacle of Swiss haute horlogerie, with each having a rich history filled with important technical innovations and iconic designs,...
What an excellent Review
I personally would always go for Breguet, purely because I am A Breguet nut....If I were to buy any other brand it would probably Vacheron or patek...best of the best
Thank you for reading....
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
Thanks a lot Bill for this superb topic.
I am seduced by the 5967... it is the reason why I've just posted a review of this watch. Fr.Xavier
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...

That's PuristSPro: you come home and read a fanctastic article ...
... to calm down from a stressful day at work. Many, many thanks for this great post - very enjoyable. What I like about the VC movement is the usage of a shockabsorber for the anchor wheel (if I am not mistaken). What is your personel opinion about the b...
Hi Mortiz...
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
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 ...
