Hi everyone,

After months of researching Breguet (and lusting after a Tradition), I finally acquired a lovely 7027BR. This is my first “heavy hitter” of any sort, and I am already totally enamored. Really a special piece, I’m so glad to have it on my wrist to marvel at and enjoy.

Looking forward to digging deeper into the Breguet world with you all. Hope you enjoy the pictures below. Cheers!
