I want it to be the high horology brand for those in the know - so it doesn’t develop an image like Rolex when people find out! Looks like I need to get my Breguet first 😂
Can't believe I just watched a guy with a hoodie wearing a classic Breguet...and yet it felt totally suitable ! Love this piece, looking to try one before I buy (hopefully...) Thanks for the video :)
Hello Alex, you've hit the nail on the head. Many modern dresswatches wear like sports watches even though they are not. I hope that Breguet quickly finds its way back to its origins. Great presentation of a beautiful watch. I hope we will see more unusual watches on your channel. Best regards Sebastian
Breguet is my favorite brand. Agree with you about the sizing of a lot of the recent models. The one specific model that would be a grail for me if I could come even close to wearing it is the Hora Mundi. Both the recent iterations look like a dinner plate on my wrist. I know they're complicated watches but this is Breguet they can find a way to get that at 38-40mm they have 36mm equation of time perpetual calendars.
I got the 5907 decades ago for exactly the reason you mentioned. I remember around that time, watches were getting bigger and bigger, as you pointed out, less classical. I do like my white gold version, which seems even more elegant ... but I have to agree that the yellow gold one is a bit more Breguet :)
I'm looking for a dress watch and this Breguet is on my list on candidates together with VC traditionelle and moser dress watches Not so sure about the size even though I have a small wrist around 6.1 inches as I tried Lange Saxonia thin 37mm and it felt too small. The moser at 39mm felt much better anyways thanks for a great review 👍
This video is awesome, it's off the charts It's got everything I want, it's stealing everyone's hearts The creator is a genius, they're a master of the art I'm giving this video thumbs up, from the bottom of my heart I'm telling you, this video is the bomb It's gonna blow your mind, it's gonna make you numb So go check it out right now You'll be glad you did, it's the best video ever, yo, come on!
This watch is gorgeous, with an understated elegance that radiates quality and good taste. Refreshing to see in a watch market that seems to be flooded with vulgar, tasteless and frankly, ugly watches. I’d be proud to wear this on my wrist.
You are right, Breguet should make their watch smaller. I own a ref 5920 ( at 36mm dia ) and it looks classic and beautiful . The current watches in traditional and classique line are >40mm and are too big for dress watch.
Also check out Breguet 3297... 1mm smaller and uses Breguet/JLC caliber 818. The dial proportions with larger subsecond dial and bolder roman numerals with cabachon topped crown really speak to me a bit more than this one.
Couldn't agree more about their sizing. When combined with the straight lugs, it makes their modern offerings unwearable for an average wrist. The Classique in grand feu enamel would be my dream watch if it came in a 36mm - 37mm size (ok, make it manual wind and THEN it'd be my dream watch).
@@AleksWatches Thanks. I have an 18cm flat wrist so this may be suitable. I have had 35mm dress watches before which are about as small as I have felt comfortable with so even though 1mm less at 34mm may not seem like much, there is a point that the watch just doesn't give you positive feedback on the wrist. At distance this watch looks the perfect size on your wrist.
Anyone else think the 1908 looks like an homage to this watch? (And “homage” may be putting it politely.) The gold coin-edge bezel, the small-seconds dial at 6 o’clock, the hand design…
Merci pour le retour. Cette montre vous va parfaitement bien 👍 Je n’ai pas réussi à trouver cette information sur internet. Quelle est la largeur de votre poignet ? Le mien fait 5,7 cm.
merci ! je pense exactement comme vous . une montre habillée "dress watch" doit être en or jaune et d'une taille maximale de 34 mm/35 mm. Votre Breguet est parfaite. les nouveaux cadrans rendent les proportions moins harmonieuses.
yea many of their watches are too big including women's. i like their tradition line but they are just too big. i hope they release something smaller for their 250th anniversary.
Sorry but how does it compare to brands like Schartz Etienne, Arnold & Son, Urban Jurgensen, A Lange & Sonne? Breguet is controlled by Swatch Group & remains as Breguet only to cover that market segment. Breguet is no different from Rolex, Panerai in making an iconic style watch.
Thoughts on Breguet in general and this piece specifically?

Some people don't like breguet because they think its to last century, but thats what i love about the brand, classic and timeless

Breguet has more history than any other brand, period.
I agree with you Aleks, Breguet needs to get smaller… they can own the 36mm watch space. This piece is just a work of art.
🙏🏼🙌🏼
5930 is the 35.5mm reference
Masterpiece
@@Therealgdoesgshit a pity no transparent caseback for this model😢

Thanks a lot Sebastian 🙏🏼
I live my classique. Lovely brand, the people that wear Breguet are thank God not the same as the rolex pimps.
I’ve a breguet and a Rolex and I think they both good watches! Rolex is a good tool watch

Well put!
So classic, so refined. Best classical dress watch. 36mm with those lugs would work for me.
Breguet is so beautiful !
Gorgeous watch. Just wish that sub dial didn't cut into the roman numeral. The dial should have been elevated slightly, leaving the numeral 6 intact.

Hope you will enjoy it (as you already do) for many decades ahead 🙌🏼
I have a 1995 year 34mm yellow gold version, and I prefer this size.
This is a beauty, would love one of these
Great video - timely as I am considering how to get into Breguet.
Thanks!
Once I see the retrograde second complication on the tradition model I was sold.....my most sought after brand !
I'm looking for a dress watch and this Breguet is on my list on candidates together with VC traditionelle and moser dress watches

anyways thanks for a great review 👍

What’s the significance of the 2711 on the dial? Loving this watch
Serial number!
I like the classic style and prefer a long second hand with a date.
I love the Breguet design. Question, I hear some Swedish in your english, correct?
Very correct 😉

Aleks, what is your wrist size? The 5907 seems to be just right for your wrist.
16,5cm or 6.5 inches 👍🏼
@@AleksWatches Thanks. I have an 18cm flat wrist so this may be suitable.

I think it will work out fine! My friend that owns this piece has like 17,5cm wrist. Long lugs as well ✌🏼
It would be hard to pick between this 5807 or a Patek Calatrava 5119.
Breguet easily
How do you register pre owned Breguet under your name? Or proof that it’s yours?
Don’t think you csn
Do you remember how accurate was the watch? Would you say it's within COSC or somewhere around +/-15 seconds per day or +/-30 seconds per day?
Within +/-15
@@AleksWatches Yikes that's quite some deviation, it's been a while since last serviced?
It seems the one thing they cant do is marketing. Jokes aside, I like the Brequet Classic line.

Hand design is borrowed by many brands. And Rolex made models in the 1930-1940’s similar to the 1908
But yes they are a bit similar
Nice
A very nice watch, but the strap is a bit of a provocation :)
Lug to lug please
Thanks
41mm according to Google
Merci pour le retour. Cette montre vous va parfaitement bien 👍
Je n’ai pas réussi à trouver cette information sur internet.
Quelle est la largeur de votre poignet ?
Le mien fait 5,7 cm.
@jackiesauvage9728 Lug to lug is about 40-41mm.
Merci j’ai enfin ma 5907 , elle est fantastique, tellement belle , la taille parfaite.
Je ne peux que vous encourager au diamètre plus contenu.
merci ! je pense exactement comme vous . une montre habillée "dress watch" doit être en or jaune et d'une taille maximale de 34 mm/35 mm. Votre Breguet est parfaite. les nouveaux cadrans rendent les proportions moins harmonieuses.
le bracelet croco sans surpiqures c'est plus joli
yes for sure
yea many of their watches are too big including women's. i like their tradition line but they are just too big. i hope they release something smaller for their 250th anniversary.
I have the tradition 40 mm its amazing very good size in my opinion
@@AbdulazizAlkhozaym one size fit all? You know there are people out there with different wrist measurements right?
you did not say absolute anything about Breguet or in particular to this model
Lots of history but the design is not my cup of tea, it's too busy with all the different finishings on the case & dial 🤷
Interesting! I find it very ”clean” actually. This is what makes this world so interesting :) thanks for sharing your thoughts!
