The wonderful universe of Breguet.
Jun 19, 2019,06:53 AM
Shame on me, Breguet is a brand I am discovering. For some years, now, yes, but there are brands I know much better.
Why? I couldn't say.
But one thing is sure: They made and still make some very nice and good watches.
Here is my conception of the wonderful universe of Breguet, my level of knowledge about this great brand.
1/ The 1775, the Subscription watch. Platinum case, enamel dial. A wonder.
How I would have loved a manual winding movement!
2/ 3330: Pure Breguet DNA. One of the most styled and refined complete calendar and moon phase! In white gold, here.
3/ 3420: In a delicious platinum case, a jumping hour.
4/ La Tradition, white gold, 37 mm case. If there is a watch which sums what is the Breguet DNA, this is, for me, the La Tradition, along with the 3330.
5/ Classique Enamel Blue. The current one. Ref 5177 In White Gold.
6/ The sublime Chronograph 5247, in white gold and its enamel dial...
7/ I will not close this selection without mentioning the only one in my collection, the Type XX Platinum and its salmon dial, of course.
I would gladly mention a vintage Type XX, FG 54 or a later one such as a CEV... But we'll soon discuss that.
Please share with us your thoughts and Breguet of your dreams!
Best,
Nicolas
