Key Points from the Discussion

The cushion case design on these Breguet watches is highly unusual for the brand and could easily be mistaken for a Jaeger-LeCoultre, particularly given Amanico's previous showcases of similar JLC models.
Amanico confirms the design similarity by sharing an image of a Jaeger-LeCoultre with a comparable cushion case, underscoring the era's shared design language among some manufacturers.
