Well, given that Pateks are machine finished at that level,
As has been discussed on this website a few times whose discussion I direct you to, then, at least by that standard, a hand-finished Breguet (and the anglage is indeed free of "chattering" marks) stands above!
It's not a Lange or an FPJ, sure. The original A.L. Breguet didn't prioritize movement finishing either, although some late 19th and early to mid 20th century pocketwatches do show a high degree of finishing.
In the later 20th century and under the Hayeks, the basic standard of Breguet finishing starts with hand finishing and a demonstration of all the essential points of haute finishing...but just that--a restrained demonstration. Anglage is done the right way (unlike lower and mid-level Patek), but it's a bit on the narrow side, for example. Better a taste of the real deal, it seems to say. Finishing as a fetish comes at the higher end of the Breguet catalogue, but remains in the Breguet idiom of restraint.
So different, yet the similarities are enlightening!
I believe so
Yes, the prototype! They really wanted to say Breguet is as much about the future as the past.
I never understood why they did not come out with other model using the 10Hz movement...
They also have a patent for a natural escapement!
Some people have a harder time with the 10hz for sure!
I am not bothered by the 10 HZ. On pictures sticks out but fairly discreet in real life.
Well, given that Pateks are machine finished at that level,
I have been tempted by 7727 several times.
I agree, the dial is beautiful and very classic Breguet but it doesn't live up to the movement
I'd love to see other watches with this movement as well!
Spangles, how has it happend that you became a Breguet-guy?
Good question!
