amanicoBreguet certainly is one of these magic names of the watch industry. We all have these old ads in mind, featuring some famous clients of the brand, such as Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, Churchill, just to name a few. We are many to have some models in mind, like the Type XX, or the Triple Date ref 3330 / 3337, without forgetting the Tradition. The 3330: We know that Abraham-Louis Breguet was the inventor of the Tourbillon as soon as 1801, and that this is one of the oldest name of the watch universe...">Story

amanicoThere are watches which you will never forget. When you cross their way, they always give you a special, intense and unforgettable feeling. I was lucky to see some of them in the reality. The Jaeger LeCoultre Géophysic which was gifted by the Geneva Citizen to the Commander Anderson...">Story

foverstaForewords: the prices below are available in France with VAT. 2018 was an extremely important year for Breguet considering the launch of the new Marine collection. 2019 seems to be quieter and can be considered as a year of consolidation for the brand that brings small changes to its collections. I'm not going to blame Breguet for introducing a limited number of novelties: on the contrary, I think it's the right strategy, especially in this segment...">Story

amanicoI had six goals when I visited the Paris Breguet Boutique, and I was lucky to score all of them, thanks to the kind collaboration of the Boutique Team, my contact at Breguet, and Mr Emmanuel Breguet. 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? Simply because it is one of the most exquisite and romantic Breguet watch I know, and, in my opinion, an icon. The one I will show you here is in white gold...">Story

amanicoI already reviewed this Classique 5177 in white gold with its blue dial, and told you that my feelings were very positive about that watch. Yesterday, I had a meeting at the Breguet Boutique in Paris, with my contact at the Manufacture, and Mr Emmanuel Breguet. I could take some pictures about the Classique 5177, and my feelings were confirmed, it is a really nice watch. Nice, and elegant, with the case proportions which are just perfect for a watch of this kind and of this spirit...">Story

amanicoHere are some pictures I received from my contact at Breguet of this year novelty, the Breguet Classique 5177 Grand Feu Blue Enamel. My first feeling is very positive, and I think this is the kind of watch which deserves real pictures ( which I will take as soon as possible ) and most importantly, which has to be discovered in the " metal ". 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. I had the pleasure to see the Reference 3497 some days ago, in Paris...">Story

foverstaNicolas posted about it yesterday: last Wednesday, Breguet organized a party to close the Classic Tour day organized in Paris. But what is the Classic Tour? Actually, it was organized in Paris after a first edition in London several months ago. The aim of this Tour is to invite clients and journalists to discover the key locations which symbolize Breguet's life and achievements and which create a focus on high-end craftsmanship. It is the reason why the guests could visit the mythical Breguet locations in .....">Story

amanicoThe Breguet 1775 is a watch I owned for some years, and which I let go, with some retrospective regrets. Finding another one is an impossible mission, as I rarely saw one for sale during all these last years, two, to be precise, and the one I just photographed is one of these two. This is a pure Breguet, in my opinion, delicate, exquisite, refined. Everything, every detail on this watch oozes refinement: The case, with its godrons all around, has ideal dimensions for a watch of this class, with a diameter .....">Story

amanicoYes, you read well, I had to check the date I purchased this watch as I couldn't believe 14 years have passed, already. In May 2004, during a trip in Sicily, I was fortunate to fall on this Breguet Type XX Transatlantique in platinum, with its gorgeous salmon dial which is made in rose gold. That was a totally unexpected encounter, truth to be told. I was aware that such a version existed, unveiled the same year or in 2003, but I never saw one in the flesh...">Story
