Breguet

The La Tradition and a difficult choice.

 

Dear Fr. Xavier,

 

Thanks so much for this post.  I hope to visit the Boutique later this year and it looks like it will really be worth the effort. I understand that the museum is upstairs? Do you have any pictures to whet my appetite, or didn’t you get past these fabulous watches on the ground floor!

 

I have thought long and hard about the WG and YG versions of the La Tradition and, as I have commented on this forum before, more than many watches with versions in multiple metals, these La Traditions have very different personalities.

 

The WG is like a sparkly jewel, and I actually find the YG the more understated. I feel that the time subdial contrasts more with the YG, and of course the whole idea of the Tradition is to follow in the footsteps of A.-L. Breguet’s creations, part of which is the matched gold colour. My personal choice is therefore the YG, but both watches are beautiful.

 

Thanks for the tour.

 

Andrew

I saw the LE of 7 pieces Chrono with the enamel dial some months ago, and as you, I was amazed by the beauty of this watch, essentially due to its great enamel dial, and, yes, I like the enamel top of the crown. The Tradition and the 5140 are two of the m...

If one day you come to Paris, you'll have to go to the Breguet Paris Boutique, you will see that you will be more than welcome. Sebastien, as FX said, is really a great guy, as all the Breguet Team, BTW! Best. Nicolas

...in fact I think I had much delayed my visit in the city of light, where I spent a part of my medical training in the St. Antoine Hospital, place Bastille, years back... And be sure that when I'll come, Breguet's Boutique will be one of the first places...
