THE BREGUET AÉRONAVALE, A PERSONAL STORY
Precious things must have a story, with roots deep into our legacy, so this is mine. My great-grand father used to be a gifted architect and a wealthy man - at least till the end of WWII - with diverse interest in very different things, such as legerdemai...
Thank you Nicolas,
it's been you, who first suggested, I should've gone for the type XX!
Yes, maybe, but you are the one who did the job, thought about it...
And finally decided. Bravo. So, now, happy to see that you are in Heaven. Best, Nicolas
Yes, totally in Heaven :-)
Frankly, the JLC Master Control Chronograph Aston Martin was its biggest competitor, but my story tells why this time the Breguet was the best choice.
Great Story and a great watch to honor your Great-grandfather! ...
... A favorite of mine too. Thank you so much for sharing with us about your adventurous and gallant Great-grandpa! My own example says hello- Cheers! Abel. This message has been edited by Subexplorer on 2015-12-09 11:16:41 ...
Thank you Subexplorer
what a great shot! I still have to figure out, how to make a good picture of mine.
A nice piece. The most "Breguet" of the non-dressy Breguets.
Congratulations on getting it. I enjoyed your story and the connection you've established between your family history and the Type XX. These connections make the acquisition and use even more special. Cheers, John
So glad it arrived!
And thank you for sharing your story to go with it - these are what make particular watches special for us. Now looking to seeing it live in the near future! I am sure you will derive decades of enjoyment from it
Will probably be in Q1 2016
Looks like the Xmas vacation will be family time in the old country but looking forward to Budapest in late winter / early spring! And if you find yourself in Vienna in the meantime...
