I’m with you in everything you said.
Your rattrapante is one of the truly sublime offerings from the pre-Swatch Breguet. Daniel Roth, by the way, had much to do with the ultimate Breguet take on the Lemania chronograph movement. As well as their perpetual and calendar watches. Breguet was probably the creme de la creme of brands in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Just no one realized it.
rattrapanting
the idea of a rattrapante has long been a wish for me and over the years several alternatives have been considered. Throughout this process the Breguet 3947 has consistently surfaced as one of the top contenders. 38mm, a little height to the case, large c...
What can I say...
Keks, you have exquisite taste as always. Agree with you regarding Breguet - I have expectations from the world renowned brand... And I hope that the brand steps it up.
That is among the most spectacular watches ever made in my opinion.
Wear it in the best of health.
it is up there for sure in my opinion...
although there are many spectacular pieces ever made... it sure does go a long way!
thank you...
in a way I find the rattrapante more useful than a regular chronograph... .... a regular chronograph i rarely use, but the rattrapante I tend to use to set the hands in different ways to make it look cooler
The 3947 is arguably the best looking chronograph of the 90's, a quite weird era for watchmaking as it has been a trait d'union between everything vintage and today's production.
I am really fond of Breguet of that period, especially regarding the Chaumet era, during which they carved an aesthetic many brands still today employe.
absolutely agree, thanks!
90s are really the bridge between vintage and modern, a transitional period where future direction was for anyone to speculate.... was mechanical watches going to be of interest going forward, what aesthetics and functionality was going to be of most favo...
I completely agree, Breguet has been probably one the best advocate of the 90's aesthetic.
And let's not forget neither Patek Philippe nor Audemars Piguet were manufacturing split-seconds during that time.
Thank you!!!
Is that right? You sold this just now or you were owner earlier than that?

Thank you!!
Indeed great strap color but will have to find one that tapers a bit more toward the buckle. Then I happy… for a while at least
Really nice combo! Love the „casual“ yet classic vibe!
May I ask where you got the strap from? Got inspired and want to try a similar combo with one of my piece! Thanks and greetings from Germany!
Thank you!!
It is a generic strap, you should be a able to find without an issue something very similar. I am currently on the hunt for another strap as I find this one a tad thick for my tastes (to clarify I prefer very thin leather straps, this one happens to be re...
