The world of Breguet
Hi everyone,
I am fortunate enough to have a small collection of watches including a number of chromos by Rolex and Omega. I have recently found myself being drawn to Breguet, due to the importance of its heritage and watchmaking as we know it today.
My watch preference is for steel sports, so I find myself being drawn to XXII 3817 with the slate grey dial in particular. I do look at it both for its beauty but also for its quality as a piece of horology.
Before pulling the trigger, I would be interested in anyone's thoughts as to the watch itself and whether it is a good introduction to the brand?
Thank you.
Regards, Patrick

What I like about Breguet's pilot watches is that they fly (excuse the pun) under the radar in that segment. I considered IWC and Breitling also before I made my decision. Others brands are perhaps more easily recognizable but for me, one of the attractio...
Mine is without doubt one of my favourite watches. It combines history, practicality, comfort, high-quality manufacture and, to my eyes, beauty. [nt]
The naturally ageing lume on mine is particularly appropriate and attractive.
