Breguet

It made for a nice engagement present (she already has a ring). She's very happy with it. I like the mother pearl guilloche dial. On a different strap My Classique as a his-and-hers shot ...  

Do you know if Breguet is the only brand to make guilloché MOP dials because I think it’s the first one I hear something like that? Your 7337 is truly beautiful by the way. It’s the grail watch of one of my friends. Best wishes Alkiro

I asked Vacheron's atelier cabinotiers to make me a traditonelle with MOP guilloche and they replied "It is impossible"!!! Obviously not! Lange had an MOP guilloche small Lange 1, that's the only other example I know (of course, Breguet has several models... 

Well, really strange from Vacheron (they probably didn’t care about that ☹️) and not surprising about what Patek told you. If you can’t find a process/treatment to harden your MOP dial, you probably have a lot of breakages. Thanks for the additional info ...

Very nice gesture to give your future wife this beautiful watch 👌🏻😘 .

I'm delighted (and relieved) by how delighted she is about it.

On the engagement and the watch!

I want to hear more about this dial maker! Did you do a special report somewhere that I can read?

Magnus did a report of the PuristS on Tour visit in 2015 to Zenith and their supplier dial maker. We are not allowed to divulge all the client brands, of course. Regards, MTF

the reports are here: Part 1 & 2 Part 3 & 4 As you can see, they have a fully equipped guillochage workshop, inclusing several ancient rose engines. They also prodced dials for Breguet, but I have not seen guilloched MOP. Do you have a pic, MTF? Best, Mag... 

Her engagement present is particularly nice, I often don’t like ladies watches but this one is truely beautiful. Nice choice!

We went to all the boutiques as she wanted to appreciate my passion for watches better. Just for fun, she tried on things and came to a favorite...this Breguet! I bought it for her as a surprise!

This is a very elegant Breguet, even the diamonds are tastefully done.
