Breguet

Thanks, very nice post!

 

It's so nice to see a review of Breguet's Baselworld offerings with such nice pictures.

I'll respectfully disagree about the 5727, however. It seems like a much more understated, and therefore, much more wearable in the real world, watch to me. I could actually own the 5727 as an everyday wearer and traveler.

The 5717, which I think looks phenomenal, is a different sort of watch, much more eye-catching and not something I would feel comfortable out in the streets of NYC with, or at my office.

So, I'm glad Breguet has the 5727, and I think it was for people like myself who like understated elegance.

BTW, isn't the rotor silvered (or rhodium-ed) gold? I believe that's the case with a few other models in the Breguet line, such as the stainless steel 5857. Thanks again.

Baselworld 2016: Breguet

 
By: foversta : April 2nd, 2016-14:53
Breguet presented during the 2016 edition of the Baselworld fair a quite comprehensive new collection. I will not say that it is spectacular because there isn't inside a true new model or complication. But Breguet made sure that each pillar of its collect...  

Perfect post...

Fx, As usual you present a product line with an outstanding clarity. I agree with you that the 5227 looks like a downgraded version of the 5217. Bad move by Breguet. Thank you very much, Nilo

Thanks for this excellent report on Breguet!

While the ladies models will not quite fit me ( ), there are some very interesting pieces here. Quite like where the XXI is going with the 3817 (at least the date disc is now dial coloured) and the 7147 is a very solid classical watch.

Thanks KMII

It will be interesting to follow the moves during the next years around the Type XX-XXI-XXII collection, it seems that Breguet has now more ambition. Fx

Thanks, very nice post!

I agree with you, the new 5727 is much more 'Breguet' whereas I respectfully think that the 5717...

was the 'Maurice Lacriox' amongst the Breguet watches. I do not think its dial decoration was particularly artisanal (it might be in terms of production technique, but certainly not - in my view - in terms of appearance). Thus, I applaud Breguet for this ... 

I love the treatment of the rotor on 3817

but the dial is a cliche-driven design, with the fake patina numerals... all fake patina dials are already two years ago 'of the moment' already far too late. Change to regular superlume ASAP, and shrink these gargantuan numerals, Breguet. remember you ar... 

Excellent post!

Agree with all you say. I ever really understood the XXI date window and why it was there. It is just wrong. Excellent post
