An unexpected encounter with a Breva watch.
I fell very quickly on that Watch, the Breva Genie
A Barometer and Altimeter Watch, something we could find in the Fifties ( Favre Leuba ) which has been perfectionned, of course.
I am impressed, to say the least, by this kind of Watch. The design is top, the finish is interesting, of course, the complications are very original, friendly and useful ( well the Altimeter, maybe not every day, but the barometer is pretty useful, I find ).
The case is 44, 7 mm big, and my estimate is that it is something circa 14 mm high, but still ,harmonious and pleasant to see.
Here are the two quick pictures I could take in the rush:

That's one great watch. Good looking and well balanced ... I never heard of this brand

I wish I could. My encounter with the CEO of Breva lasted 5 minutes.
It was my first moment with the brand. A good surprise, which gave me the feeling to dig into the brand. I will certainly have other opportunities. Have a look at the link I posted. Don saw the brand at the Basel Fair. Best, My Dear Mr Orange! Nicolas
I actually tested the watch at Swissotel Singapore 1st to 70th floor
And clocked about 200m. The altimeter works!! and the person who help create the watch....Mojon in Singapore late last year, his first trip to Singapore. best, Horo ...
It's pretty cool, saw it in Basel . . .
. . . uses a barometer for measuring air pressure both to determine altitude, and to track changes in air pressure over time as a way of predicting changes in the weather. There is a valve that you open "on demand" so to speak, at 4:00. You calibrate the ...
Sold! ;o) ... I'm in love. And that in front of the weekend. Happy times! ;-)
Thanks for sharing! Just curious. which model did you saw? Got the chance to see the titanium models too? Have a great weekend, cheers, Mr.O
I saw all models . . .
. . . I have to admit my memory is not as sharp as I would like; it was my first appointment of the show and I was pretty jet-lagged ;) but they're wonderful in the metal --really work from a design standpoint and have a great, precision-instrument feel.
Thanks for these additional informations on how it works, Jack.
And yes, I was deeply pleased to see it in the real. Comfortable on the wrist despite its size and thickness, nicely shaped case, and great dial with the sapphire dial for the time. Much nicer and more impressive in the real life than in pictures. And I t...
