Two Purists walk into a coffee shop, both wristed in style. They order drinks, and the Barista asks, "So, what brings you here?"


One purist replies, "We’re just here to unwind." 


The other quickly adds, "But only in one direction!"


Eclectic selection this morning, the joy and range of watch collecting.

Yes, however I’ve been Breguet curious for several years now and this one would be right up my street.

Beautiful and such a range!

Hope to see the Breguet in the metal someday!

It’s a nice bridge to a slightly more everyday wear.

While I like the yellow gold, and for many of these watches it’s always the yellow gold I see when I picture them, the white gold here makes it’s much easier watch to wear and therefore enjoy.

My track record still under review…

…the other’s verified and established.
