amanicoYou probably know the Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra Plat Ref 5367 coming with its white enamel dial. This year, Breguet unveils the same watch, but with an outstanding enamel dial.

One of them was to review the Classique 5177 Blue Enamel, which I recently put on line, the other was to see the Ref 3330 and its ancestor. Why the 3330?

amanicoHere are some pictures I received from my contact at Breguet of this year novelty, the Breguet Classique 5177 Grand Feu Blue Enamel.

This is the kind of Breguet I like. The dial and the case have a lot of DNA of the brand, exquisite, refined...Story

amanicoIf you are a Chronograph Fan, you certainly know that manual winding Rattrapantes are pretty scarce. The Breguet Rattrapante is not the most famous one, the stars begin Patek and Lange on that matter. Still, the Breguet Rattrapante deserves to be known.
