Breguet Collection: High Altitude Glow

Key Points from the Discussion

• The original author, Timeout, uses a custom sapphire blue double alligator strap from Jean Rousseau, noting that the single deployant on these Breguet models necessitates custom strap solutions. This choice pushes the envelope on classical watch aesthetics for summer wear.
• A blue strap on a Breguet Classique, initially perceived as unconventional, is lauded for its successful and striking appearance, challenging traditional aesthetic norms for classical watches.
• Timeout emphasizes that for Minute Repeaters (MRs), the sound is paramount, describing it as loud, fast, with an even tempo, and a beautiful bright quality, even without a Cathedral gong.
• Moka-Tiger (Ron) shares images of a 22-year-old Breguet that has never been polished, highlighting how minor scratches are barely noticeable to the naked eye, underscoring the watch's enduring condition and the owner's care.
• The visual appeal of Timeout's Breguet, particularly with the custom strap, is so compelling that it accelerates Moka-Tiger (Ron)'s desire to acquire a third Breguet timepiece.
• Timeout also owns a Breguet Tradition GMT in Rose Gold, indicating a collection that includes both classical and more contemporary complications, though these pieces are not worn frequently.
