curious about this pocket watch movement c.1899
Hi there! I promised to do a little research for a friend, but in that endeavour, I've come across a couple of people who have never seen this movement, and therefore have their doubts.
Has anyone seen this movement in a Breguet?

Comedian Nate Bargatze spotted wearing a Breguet watch. Is this a genuine horological choice or a new celebrity trend? WatchProSite community discusses the significance.

curious about this pocket watch movement c.1899
Hi there! I promised to do a little research for a friend, but in that endeavour, I've come across a couple of people who have never seen this movement, and therefore have their doubts. Has anyone seen this movement in a Breguet?...
NO
I'd say it is the usual generic Swiss ebauche, possibly marked "Spiral Breguet" to indicate a breguet overcoil, but no connection to the man or the brand A
Thanks... puzzling because
it comes with an 18k gold case marked Breguet, and a nice clean dial as well. And when he wrote to Breguet they said it sold in 1899 for 500 FFR on September 20th, 1899. I wonder if the movement didn't get switched out along the way... for whatever reason...
Maybe a picture of the dial...
Do you have a picture of the dial or the case perhaps? Now you've made me curious A
more pictures...
Pictures aren't the best but for now it is what I've got. The dial says Breguet 3826....
