Breguet is one of my favorite brands. The high quality case, dial, and hands are now matched with modern movements taking full advantage of Lemania and Swatch.

VC is a deliberate choice. In a world where many people want the same few pieces, VC offers a wide variety of options with outstanding design and quality. The QdL is a unique design that is well suited for normal life. The current production steel pieces are listed as having 10 bar water resistance

Hopefully the damage can be limited and the structure can be rebuilt. The loss of historical value is permanent.

It will be much easier to set when it runs down than the complete calendar. The numeral and dial design is among my favorites for a vintage inspired piece.

That is a beautiful piece in a classic size. I also find the Breguet lugs work best with smaller diameter watches. The dial is almost certainly made by hand on a rose engine.

The navy is more subdued in more visible portion of the shoe and the green adds a fun contrast.

My most recent purchases have been a hand-wound watch with sub-seconds and a 3-hands automatic with window date. I like the thinness and legibility of these. They complement other watches which are busier and thicker. If I had to choose one or the other, I’d prefer simplicity. I do like chronographs

Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Porsche all make SUVs with a sloped roofline. In every case I’d rather have the standard version. My pick would be an X5M if I had to choose one.
