Classique Chronograph...5247
I recently saw a post elsewhere about this marvel and started to think (always leads to problems in my case!): while I love the JLC Duometre a chronograph...it just felt too big on my wrist, and subsequently it did not enjoy a lot of wrist time. Well, I traded it off for this:
These pictures don't really convey the beauty of the dial, nor can I describe the joy of winding the movement...but I am very happy with the change. I know the landmark ground JLC broke with the introduction of the Duometre, but the simple beauty of this Breguet really makes me smile. I have made a new rule for myself...avoid timepieces greater than 40mm. Wonder how long I will stick to this rule.
When I look at this Breguet...I feel a sense of the long history of watches in general...I am pretty sure this watch will remain with me for a very long time. Pure joy and beauty on one's wrist...how can it get better than this emotion?

Gorgeous
I normally prefer guilloche dials from Breguet but this one looks only OK in guilloche but is stunning, one-of-a-kind in enamel.
This is a superb Chronograph. I fell in love with the white gold version.
First the Duometre, for me, but once I will get it, this Breguet may well join the collection. What a dial! Best, Nicolas PS: How could I miss this post???
Better late than never!
For me, the bold, large display of the time, vs the small off-center display in the Duometre, is more pleasing. But I completely understand the attraction of the Duometre, and if it were 39 or even 40mm, would still be in my collection! Best, Marc
beautiful enamel dial!
Great classic chrono you have Marc. The white enamel dial just glows so beautifully! Enjoy your new watch. Great choice! Cheers Robin
