Breguet will soon be launching a platinum version of its award winning Classique Souscription watch. Unfortunately it still comes in a 40mm case. In my opinion, a 37 to 38mm case would be a better fit for most wrists as white dials wear larger and with only one hand and a thin bezel, the watch will appear large. Still, I am partial to the white metal case over the Breguet gold case although one has to try the watch on for heft. A nice touch is the white stitching on the strap to match the case colour.

I had mixed feelings on this one. Mostly because of the size, as you mentioned it. Now I could see it two times in real, and yes, while I would have preferred a 38 mm case, in real it looks a bit smaller than the 40 mm suggests.
I love it in platinum! But once again, 2 mm smaller would be great. And as we are at it, it takes a bit of time to get used to read the time, but after a while it is quite doable. Best, Nicolas

A one handed watch is always challenging to read the exact time. I once owned a Meistersinger but the ownership was short as I value precision. Thank you for your feedback.
It’s about time (no pun intended)! So few platinum, non-tourbillon offerings outside of the Tradition line.
Hopefully more such releases to come in the Classique range. Would love a black dial two-hander without date. They seem to flirt with this possibility but I haven’t seen it like in other metals.
Breguet I find
tend to resort to traditional case metals so titanium or tantalum would be a departure from its values. I mean when have we seen a Breguet in the classique range in steel for example.
Super simple: Great! Besides no date, there is only 1 hand. Ha ha.
I wonder if there is any watch simpler than a 1-hand one? I can handle big watches, so for me, 40mm is the sweet spot. Even 42 is good on my hefty wrist. I know there are a few identical watches but made in 2 different sizes to suit more wrists.
I always like a platinum watch
For me I find the original version is more breguet with the colored metal and ties in with the original ref its based on.
