Breguet is an amazing brand. I visited their Geneva flagship store last week and tried on a few watches. They have several guillocheuses in the the store. They are not just static displays and I had a long chat with a Master Guillocheur, had a demo and got to try my hand at it. Fabulous experience!
Another brilliant video ID Guy. I love Breguet, one of the most underrated brands IMHO. Classic elegance is what draws me to them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thanks for doing this. I adore the Breguet classique and there's too little coverage of their pieces on RUclips. A Classique is without doubt my grail watch.
I love the idea that Breguet dials are still crafted in exactly the same manner, two hundred years later - hand operated rose engines. Even the most modest of Classique has a dial of solid gold, with guilloche laid by hand. It’s both continuity, and also a refusal to verge even one iota from the highest quality of dial-making
Even Cartier looks modern next to a Breguet IMO! As you mentioned I think it captures the French spirit of elegance very well. Blancpain's Villeret line also has a somewhat similar feeling in capturing elegance but not in a French way, just a smidgen different. Anyway thank you for covering Breguet, the classique line is one of my dream watch lines
Cartier is early 20th century, Breguet is more than a 100 years before. Makes sense that Cartier has kept more modern lines of design compared to Breguet.
The duelling pistol reference was very relevant to this particular brand! And take a look at the engraving on something like a Purdey shotgun, both disciplines relying on Artisans of different genres, and then all coming together to an end result of something of exquisite beauty and function! Brequet have a niche, something they, and they alone do fantastically, it is such an underestimated brand, and every gentleman will always have a dress watch at one part of his life in his collection!
Prefer these to any Rolex if PP- just their classical design to me wouldn't look out of place on Mount Olympus! Stunning, beautiful. Thank you & Happy Christmas and New year 👍🏻
I actually trained as a gunsmith before I went back to finish my graphic design degree. I Understand what you mean About the craftsmanship aspect. But that’s one of the big reasons I got back into watches so significantly, it has all the qualities now that I used to enjoy about the actual old trade.
Thank you so much for this outstanding video. I am delighted you fulfilled my request to discuss Breguet watches which I made months ago; the addition of dueling pistols was a pleasant and thought-provoking surprise. Well done!
One of your best videos. A shame more people aren't aware of Breguet. A shame more people want superhero themed tool watches they'll never utilise... But, wow. Breguet are fantastic. As a fine gun enthusiast I appreciate your analogy. I'm looking for my first dress watch and am torn between Breguet (heart) and A Lange & Sohne (head). I do like those white enamel dials though...
Oh!!! I LOVE the Breguet Classique range. I’ve considered selling watches to make one my first true dress watch. Another great video here my friend. I hope that you had a marvellous Christmas! ✊
Nice video of a way underrated and rarely told about Classic/Classy brand. Sold my last VC more than 10 yrs ago , and my black Cerachrom GMT last month but always kept a Breguet. Started with 5920 BA than a 3400 SA than a 3787 BA and finally to my 3330 BA so I can put on a factory gold bracelet to make it a His & Hers with my wife’s manual wind ( don’t remember the ref #) with diamond bezel on a gold bracelet. 5920 BA is still my favorite !
I had the pleasure to spend some 2 hours at the Breguet boutique in Vienna, together with a good friend and watch nerd: Unforgettable hours. Breguet is very unique and higher rated than the hyped names in the holy trinity. Ps. Breguet takes it seriously: The shop manager in Vienna is a master watchmaker.
Apart from my loathing of roman numerals,Breguet can do no wrong.I love their Arabic numerals and the simple three hand dress watch you featured is what i would go for in design terms only (i could never afford a real one).That beautifuly understated form is to die for,drop dead gorgeous,ultimate dress watch..................................
Ha! Been porning over this the last 24 hours and until I read your comment I’d forgotten I really dislike Roman numerals on watches… but on this it’s so perfect and fitting.
Yeah. I love the Breguet. I also like your video. These days, Patek or Rolex is more about the "show off". The Breguet is all about true fine watch making and great taste of elegance. I am so please and happy to see the brand starts to get more well deserved appreciation.
Former Philippine President Rody Duterte👊brought me here! He was just gifted a Brequet watch valued at over $50k from The Filipino people for his excellent service to the nation!

Breguet... The history, the beauty, the class... The best.
I love their watches. I love the story of Marie Antoinettes watch that was unfinished, but its finished now. ☯

Not underrated, but rather overlooked.

Restrained yet achingly beautiful.

Thomas Burnett take a look at a 5920.
I got to handle a couple of Napoleon's personal pistols a few years ago at Sothebys. Gloved and very much supervised! Just unbelievable.
You nailed it again. A wonderful example of parallel. Thank you.

I have 5157 and 3137.. they are simply masterpiece.
I have been hold in my hands 5157 and it was most beautiful thing I have ever hold.

An oldie but a goodie. Very interesting.
The Classique Complications 3355 Squelette is an unbelievable watch.
Breguet is one of the rarest "no concession" brand. Such as A L&S. And it has a lot of unique design détails and noble mouvements.
I'm a huge fan of Breguet. Fantastic video.

Breguet is only brand that got me into watches, their art is unique and I am admiring the old Breguet not the new breguet!!
And Fp journe got close to Breguet spirit in modern time.

Brilliant
Howabout Breguet Tradition? One of my favorite Breguet
Wonderful well done.
I didn’t like breguet. Now I do.
As long as breguet is alive
The watch world is safe
Amazing video
Why don’t you buy a few dueling pistols
I'm a pure dress watch guy and I do believe that dress watches deserve higher price tags because of more details and better movements.
🔥💫🔥🔥🔥💫🔥💫🔥💫🔥💫🔥💫👌👌👌
I think the products in 1990s is the best chice to buy a Breguet, Swatch's acc has made Breguet idle in design...
7727 piece of arts
Braegay?
Of course Breguet is considered. It is just the price that is stopping people from buying.
