Breguets silent movement upgrades...
Today I heard from a usually very well informed AD the following.
Since some time Breguet is improving their movements in two ways: 1) replacing parts with silicon substitutes and 2) rasing the beat per hour.
Further, they slowly upgrade movements in dealers stocks. The targeted results: 1) higher accuracy, 2) higher reliability and 3) lower service interval.
Strangely, this all takes sems to take place almost silently, without campaigning.
This story surprised me very much, to say the least.
Up until now I knew that there were 'only' three Breguet watches with silicon parts and a fourth underway (type XXII, which also has a higher beat).
What is going on? Does anybody have additional information to share?
I had the plan to buy a new watch this month, but if all this is really true, then it will be terribly exciting and I will rearrange my shortlist and put a Breguet at the top.
