Thank you so much, Patrick!
Warm greetings to you too! Your Breguet is gorgeous. Best, Emmanuel
Super elegant watch...
...in the version I saw live, the sub-second did not have a definable edge. It was very subtle and just 'blended' into the main dial if that makes sense...
Maybe it's your photo, but I thought there was only one version of this dial...
...the one I saw was years ago so probably original. Or is it just the lighting that is fooling me? This photo from SJX is what I saw. ...
Both versions exist. After the one
that’s posted above they they then brought out the model with a one piece enamel dial with the sunken sub seconds area. Quite an achieve actually to make an enamel dial like this. Not many can do that.
Yes, it appears they made the
numbers bolder and perhaps slightly larger. Both beautiful!
A sublime beauty!
Thanks for the pictures and a Merry Christmas to you, Patrick! All the best, Jon
I wish you
also a Merry Christmas, Patrick! As for the watch: I am playing also with the idea to buy the same watch but in white gold… I have a question as well: are the numbers fading with the time? I have seen numerous photos from the same model but all of them ha...
Painted numbers on the Breguet
The numbers are not fading but due to the delicate paint stroke it may seem to be.. Notice the upward stroke on the 11, 12 and 1 is much thinner on this close. The white gold version is very beautiful and I am sure you will enjoy it.. Happy holidays. ...
Oh, well, it means
it is only an illusion?? It means that the numerals are painted by hand and therefore every numbers are unique? Yours, Adam
