I agree with this sentiment

Hi,
I completely agree with this sentiment. The Tradition 7027 is about a romance with the past. The Nebula is a fantasy about the future.
I am biased towards the 7027 though as I have the yellow gold version.
I like the Nebula- a modern skeleton watch. For me, the current “king” of this category is the GP neobridges though. (At a price point which is realistic for me anyways) it is on my list of acquisitions.
I am not sure of the price of the Nebula. The GP neobridges may be a bit more but I don’t think it is a thousand miles off. Worth a look!
BW,
Chi Kai

Both are nice, but I prefer the AS.

I personally always prefer watch that use the whole dial for time reading instead of a smaller tiny portion. Also think the open work on this AS richer in details compared to the breguet.
Breguet without a doubt!

The 7027 is the closest to the original watch made by Abraham Louis, it's not only a manufacture movement it's a "1 watch only" movement. The AS is not bad looking but it's just a design exercise, nothing close the Breguet legacy

Iconic, precious metal, will never be mistaken for anything else.
Not difficult

I will chose the AS. Thank you for posting, i almost run to an AD to fit it on my wrist. Oh, i like that Nebula a lot! The Breguet, ok.
My opinion is biased

As I own the first version of the tradition. White gold, 37mm. Manual. I’ve seen the tradition referred to as a skeleton watch many times online however I disagree with that description. A skeleton watch most often has empty spaces that allow you to see t...

Breguet without question

It is objectively a superior piece of horology considering its free-sprung balance and overcoil hairspring. The latter will give you additional entertainment looking at the dial as well. Brandon
In early 2019 I was also deciding between the two.
By: LX (Alex) : May 3rd, 2020-08:44
I tried both at the respective boutiques in Kuwait and decided against the Breguet. The Nebula is the more interesting watch and has slightly better movement finishing. Its case finishing is also above the Breguet. I had my doubts about the long-term viab...
same choice?
By: wellingtoncromwell : May 3rd, 2020-09:03
wow, you were also deciding between exactly these two? I have tried on the Breguet but not the A&S which will require a trip to Singapore after the covid lockdown is lifted. Your experience with the Nebula is good in the year that youve owned it? Is there...
Yes, my experience with the watch is good.
By: LX (Alex) : May 3rd, 2020-09:07
The only thing I wish was different is that in terms of movement finishing it would have been nice to have sharp interior angles here and there. But even Patek doesn't do sharp interior angles at the higher price points so Arnold & Son can be forgiven. Ob...
great photography

Thank you! your photos of the Breguet tradition are wonderful. this new one really shows the three dimensional aspect of the watch, it looks like a cityscape
Hmm, Breguet, I think, in this case, though
By: Modernahab : May 3rd, 2020-09:16
I’m actually a fan of Arnold & Son. Interesting, in that both are modern companies that have appropriated historic brand names and lean heavily on those histories in their marketing. I happen to own both the Time Pyramid (which appeals to me more than...
