    To echo another commentor: I am glad you kept Mr. A Marca’s French intact. It gives us a better grasp of what he’s saying as certain phrases are not an exact translation. Ex: when the subtitles say “In the past,” A Marca says “à l’époque.” The use of époque here (~epoch, In English), evokes a grander story to me, as if he had said “during that age.” Anyway, it’s just a small point, but it is nice to see as an intermediate French speaker :)

      If you don't mind me asking,
      1. How much did you pay for the education?
      2. What's the job prospect you can get? I assume its for the brand watch, but how often do they take in new makers?
      3. How sustainable is the job, and how well do they pay on average?
      4. is it tedious work as you expected?

    Breguet owner here, thanks Teddy for the wonderful insight. One of the few brands out there where I would be never tired of desiring another piece. Sadly they haven’t touched on Type XX and XXI, which is in of itself a piece of history and how two branches of the family (watchmaking and airplane manufacturing) contributed to the style. Type XX/XXI is also the most accessible of the lineup yet shows all of Breguet’s elegance in a pil mil watch

    One of the best watch videos ever! If you own a Breguet you know how they feel hand made/finished compared to so many other brands - they just ooze craftsmanship which this video has captured perfectly. The CEO is wearing the titanium 5517 marine which is the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. Breguet seems to be the best kept secret in watch collecting and for me that is also part of the appeal. Thank you Teddy for encapsulating what makes Breguet so special.
