Jaeger-LeCoultre

Greetings! Between these 2 which one would you pick? Can't reach a conclusion myself so a penny for your thoughts! (Thanks to Nicolas for the nice JLC picture while the Breguet is somewhere from the web)

Cheers!

You can't go wrong with the Type XX or the JLC Master Chrono.

It will depend on what you want to do with.

The only one you can give it some water activities is the Breguet, which is WR to 100 meters, if I'm not wrong.

While the JLC is only 50 meters WR.

This detail apart, it will depend on your taste.

I would say that I have a light preferrence for the JLC, which means a lot, as I love the Breguet.

Best,

Nicolas

When I think of Breguet I think of dress watches and the classic look, you cant go wrong with either, that is my 2 cents

both quite different. The JLC is more dressy, the Breguet sporty. Much as I like JLC, I would pick the Breguet. I'm a sucker for central chrono minute hands. The Breguet movement while not column wheel is unique to the Type XXI in the family whereas the JLC 751 is used in the Compressor, Diver, and slight variation in the Reverso if I'm not wrong. My only hesitation is that in enlarging the case, the subdials of the XXI are a bit too close to the center. But that pilot dial and bezel is a real standout whereas you need to look up close to be sure the JLC is a JLC and not say a Zenith, Heuer, Breitling etc..

Thanks everyone!   Will post some pictures when I get one of them.  Cheers!

It really depends on what kind of watches you already own and what are you looking for. The new Master Chronograph is a sweet timepiece as a dressy watch, but the Breguet has something special, a mix of sportiveness and elegance that makes it very desirable.

Whatever you choose you won't fail.

Keep us informed.

upset with me (and not for the first time) but I would choose the Breguet....

As much as I like JLC, in this particular model, I think that the date function
throws off the whole dial...

But if the date does not bother you, then you have to choose between the sportier XX or the
dressier JLC.....

You could make your life a bit more difficult and compare the retro looking XX to the unique
JLC Amvox chrono..

Good luck deciding....

Cheers

It will depend on everyone sensibility, I think.

But nobody can go wrong with each of these one.

Best,

Nicolas

They are both great watches and visual preferences are something very personal but jlc would be my choice - for beautiful classic design  - this watch will look great and in place on any wrist with any outfit.
