I'm not sure we can call Breguet the best watchmaker of all time, especially when his contemporaries include John Arnold, but he's certainly better known and publicised than many of the greats. I'm pleased to see the brand that bears his name enjoying a resurgence, and these are solid examples that reflect a long-established aesthetic, and an modern fresh design language.
@@Timeandtidewatches He certainly patented a number of inventions - the tourbillon being the obvious one (which he credited Arnold with inventing, although there were a number of watchmakers toying with the idea at the time). We now commonly associate overcoil with Breguet too, which was another Arnold invention. I guess "watchmaker who held some patents" doesn't quite have the same ring to it though.
Breguet has a spectacularly accurate movement with a hovering balance shaft used in only one of their models. It represents advances in stability and functions as a shock absorber always returning the shaft to the correct position. I'd like to see it in their sportier and high water resistant models.
@@Timeandtidewatches yes sure,but also the rolex is too expensive,in secondary market you can find an ulysse nardin portofini 34mm full gold for 6500,a breguet chrono full gold for 17000$ o rolex daydate full gold for 17000$ so...i realy think new price are insane
I'm literally on the cusp of purchasing my first Breguet in the coming weeks. Really appreciate the video!
My God.... what a collection!
Make Breguet Great Again

Just purchased my first breguet marine a couple weeks ago! Great to see more content on breguet
A wonderful trio!
I have champagne taste but lemonade money . . . they are truly beautiful watches though.
The 3 Breguet watches featured actually make up an excellent all Breguet 3-watch collection.
That is a great collection
i owned 7597 tradition retrograde date, one of my best timepiece i've owned. Breguet just need more love from the watch-world.
I.have both the older 5817 and the new 5517 Marine. Awesome watches with a great finishing
The Marine one is the winner
Best of both sides of the spectrum
5157 all day any day
My personal all-time favourites are the salmon-coloured rose gold dial Type XX references 3820 and 3827.
Verrrrry nice
Brill. Breguet is so, so good. I feel Andrew needs to get started on that movie.
KABLAMO.
That type xx is really good now
Classique anytime
The unmistakable OG 💪

Would be interesting to have a 'patent off' between Arnold and Breguet - pretty sure Breguet would emerge victorious....

H moser should buy the Breguet brand and take it to new heights .

Only 47 Shades left to go..

I like breguet,nice and finest wagche but 35000$ for a gold watch with leather strap is too much,
Working in USD, $22,100 places it as effectively the same retail price as the Rolex 1908 in YG and less than a VC Patrimony ($25,200)
