Breguet Type XX Valjoux 222 Vintage Chronographs

Key Points from the Discussion

• The absence of modern design elements like date windows, excessive dial text, or exposed tourbillons is celebrated as a key aspect of the vintage Type XX's appeal.
• The discussion humorously suggests that adding numerous modern complications and branding elements would transform the elegant Type XX into something akin to a '30K Invicta'.
• The original author, amanico, concurs with the sentiment that modern design choices have sometimes detracted from the purity of classic designs.
• The event organized by Antoine de Macedo, where these watches were displayed, is highlighted as a fantastic opportunity to appreciate these 'old marvels'.
