There are probably a million and one factors

But I think the biggest one is the clutter. It's super cool to see the entire gear train, mainspring, balance, etc, but it becomes a bit much to look at. The actual dial on the Breguet is even smaller proportionally than the dial on this Deprez. Not to mention that the Deprez is simply less busy. The main visual elements are the dial, the keyless works, and the balance (tourbillon). There is some empty space in the watch to balance it out visually. Meanwhile your eyes cannot rest while looking at the Breguet.
I am far from a market expert, this is all just my speculation. The La Tradition is still a very interesting and unique watch - if I were a trust fund baby I'd definitely have one in the collection

When you see how the back is joined to the main body, you'd be impressed. It's not a simple screw on case back. It's a case back that would be made with 100+ year old techniques, before screwed case backs were popular (which really are thanks to CNC machi...

The shape overall gives me iwc Portuguese FA jones vibes. Lugs sorta simple. He needs to channel his inner VC for some lugs! Will be nice to see future offerings here
It's definitely a masterpiece!

And then when you realize there's no big CNC machine, it's all made using small tools, no computerized big machines, that's when you think "oh my goodness, how does he do that?"
