Breguet is underrated, they truly go above and beyond with their manual labor, and it shows. Dress watches may not be in vogue anymore, but if Breguet focuses on their sports collection a little more, I think they’ll have room to grow in the market. That said, I don’t think that’s what they want. They love being exclusive and overlooked. It does make them quite special after all
I actually own this watch, and I can tell you, I get so many compliments and questions about the watch and what it does. Not only does it look amazing on the wrist, but it is one of those pieces that is a true conversation starter.
I tried this on in Paris yesterday and fell in love. The prices on the secondary make this an attainable watch for many. I’m not a dress watch guy but maybe retrofit a sailcloth strap and dress it down a bit. I’m seriously considering this.
Breguet are the only boutiques that I have passed where you really get stopped in your tracks to gaze at the displays.This must be one of the coolest ones for me. it looks so 21st century and 19th century at the same time without feeling forced. Great episode!
Four years ago I choose the rose gold version of this watch over a gold Daytona. I don’t regret, I’m a watch collector and watch enthusiast. It’s still one of my grail watches in the collection.
Breguet is so underappreciated when they make so many great watches. The Tradition series watches are great for viewing the respective movements' mechanisms. The general Classique series watches hides a number of masterpieces and gems, from the 7727 that Kevin O'Leary picked out and not being aware of its significance to the Hora Mundi models that have a very smart (and patented) dual time mechanism. Let's not even look at the really expensive Grand Complication series of watches. Breguet watches generally look old school but a number of them have really modern calibres powering them.
Oh my goodness!!! I'm new to the watch scene and still cutting my teeth (mostly though your videos) but I can tell you now this is my absolute favorite! This is the equivalent of a naked street bike, where the mechanics ARE the beauty! The whole reason I want a chrono is for what's under the skin and this displays it so perfectly!
Great video Teddy. I own this and was hoping nobody else would find out this secret. It is simple yet absolutely stunning and during the most boring of meetings I get to see a quiet wonder happen every 60 seconds, every time blowing my mind (and keeping me awake and maybe a little sane!).
Yes. Preach Teddy, preach about Breguet. People need to realize they are sleeping on a king in the industry. PS: I didn't think you actually purchased those watches with Kevin, I was wrong lol
I love this watch, it looks complicated but is time only, a timeless design. I love the retrograde seconds. A masterpiece blending both form and function. Thanks for sharing Teddy. A great comment about the water resistance of this watch, " if you're going to jump into the water with this watch you are a mad person", I could not agree more.
Breguet is so underrated, that combination of a silver dial and blue markers is so gorgeous and elegant, no matter who else tries to replicate that combination, no one can ever do it like Breguet
Great video as always. I did see your shopping spree episode and saw this watch. I used to think that these kinds of watches were over the top. Your channel gives me a better appreciation of other watch brands that are pushing the envelope when it comes to design even though they're way out of my budget.
YES!!! This is a video I've been waiting for bc I agree one billion percent with all of this, especially the drastic quality and value comparisons. Breguet is one of the legit GOAT watch makers with so, so, so many enduring contributions to horology that history-conscious enthusiasts revel in. And the Tradition is one of my grails, though probably out of reach for many years. Maybe my next step may be uptrading an Omega and cash for a pre-owned Classique with those gorgeous guilloche dials.
I'm getting the retrograde date version of this watch in rose gold this upcoming friday, and I am so excited I can't sit still! Can't stop watching videos about it
My mother gave me this after my phd as a gift. IT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! For sure an underrated watch at the very height of artisanal craft. Very low profile but catches people's eyes the same time
I wanted a Rolex Explorer, my wife hates Rolex. Came across a cool looking watch that my wife DID like, a Brequet 5817 Marine. That was 8 years ago, still loving the watch. Nice thing about Brequet is it flys under the radar without all the bling. FYI, I did get a rolex a few years ago, Ha Ha
I enjoyed your video because of the historical and informative content about Breguet. I think that's a great thing to do when talking about a brand as it is quite captivating. This serves to separate you from many other Watch channels out there. Abraham-Louis Breguet contributed much to the world of horology. He developed the Tourbillion 221 years ago. That in itself is a noteworthy accomplishment for which this brand should neither be underrated nor overlooked. In my opinion, the fact that the Breguet Tradition 7097 trades for less than a Daytona is an advantage to all those who could afford a Daytona but who see the outstanding craftsmanship of this piece and opt for it.
Teddy is my favorite source for watch information. So ironic- even though he has a watch business, I have a lot more confidence in his reviews vs. other “objective” reviewers who go thru gyrations to get free bee or discounted watches to review.
Thanks for highlighting this watch! I was gonna go get a GS but after seeing this, gonna go check it out in person, and I suspect it’s going to win me over :)
Teddy - this was an unbelievable review. First video I have watched of yours and now I am going to be useless all day at work because I have to binge all of your videos.
I’ve been to Basel. Breguet does amazing things. What gets me is a mass produced yuppy bauble like Rolex is so popular. Commodity products like CocaCola only survive through endless advertising. Same with Rolex. I find them boring. The tulip of the 21st Century. If you gave me a Rolex I’d sell it because I’d never wear it. Give me a Breguet and I’d probably faint. It’s not the Breguet is too inexpensive it’s the Rolex that is stupidly in demand. I’ll take a beautiful opal over a diamond every time and so will people that actually appreciate a gem based in beauty and not popularity. PS: I bought a used Rolex so I could wash my car and not risk damaging the watches I really like.
Thanks Teddy for another clear and concise look at another fine time piece. If someone has a collection of fine watches, then this one belongs there, as a reminder of the tradition that fine watch making has. Yes a Daytona has more sex appeal on your wrist. So after that Rolex is scored, its time for the Breguet.
Thanks for the great video! Breguet is not that underrated. There are circles beyond Instagram and UA-cam who appreciate the quality of Breguet very much and neither pursue mercantile interests in value when buying watches, nor have the desire to hold up a status symbol to the public with their watches. This target group enjoys the quality offered and the sensational execution of the movements and does not chase any hype ;-)
Breguet is the greatest watchmaker imo. I just can't believe how good they are. Teddy make a video on the greatest women's watch ever, the Reines De Naples
I don't know what is more baffling. That this watch costs the same as a Daytona… or that the Daytona goes for that ridiculous price point in the first place.
I USED TO OWN A ROLEX DAYTONA metal bezel - white face - the black paint in the number on the bezel came off over the course of the first 3 years In fairness, I bought it when you could walk into a shop and just buy one. I have no idea what they cost now??? But Rolex are nothing like as good as the hype. Ive had 4.
I hope it stays put in the market for another year or so it's the one I'm working towards right now to pair with my 3 marines. My favorite brand keep sleeping everyone pls!
I think we need to put out our own videos stating how horrible this watch is... can't be having people swooping them up. I fell in love with this piece in the first 30 seconds.
Definitely love this look more than the Daytona ... but I understand how the Daytona is more sporty and everyday functional plus the racing connection.
Absolutely agree. I remember those capticating my mind for a very long time. It's a great watch. It might not be good for flexing, but it's fine with me
A side question of writing style: This phrase "with the lugs later being welded into place..." I notice phrases like this commonly used all over journalism today. These phrases always begin with the word "with. " But is this not awkward wording? For example, what does the word "with" mean here? People keep using this preposition in this awkward way. Notice how it leads to the verb "being welded." It goes beyond passive voice. It sounds ugly. So "the central case is produced as a separate case ... with ..." With what? "With the lugs later being welded." I might walk to the park "with" my girlfriend. But what does it mean to say "with the lugs later being welded?" "With" usually suggests accompaniment, yes? So it's accompanied by "the lugs being welded?" I suppose that has some meaning, but it's kind of awkward. I suppose you could say, "accompanied by the welding of lugs." I don't know. I think modern writing needs to reduce the use of this particular prepositional phrase.
Hello Teddy. First time, thanks for your reviews. I see your website and I'm interesting for the Bulova 98A238 Maquina Skeleton Black Dial. Can you make a review of this watch? Thanks and have a great day.
Kevin O'Leary was basically saying everyone has their own taste in watches, since people have different perspective of whats important, maybe you should compete with which watch is likely to go up in value
Thanks for the video and insights Teddy. The watch has breathtaking design, engineering and looks, these are grail watches for me and so overlooked by the people looking for a trendy brand to be flash. I've just got to keep saving my pennies, one day, oh one day.
Fun fact: this watch is worn by Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne/Batman in BVS and the Snyder Verse, while Jeremy Iron’s Alfred wore a breitling. That’s how I first discovered this watch in 2016. Beautiful timepiece
Greetings sir have you ever made an "insane" find at a garage sale etc. I just had a shock 30 years ago I bought a gruen chronograph 16K heavy plate for 45$ two on ebay over 1200.00 glad I decided to pick up!
MAN is this watch gorgeous. As someone new to the world of watchmaking, this is one of not many luxury watches that actually seems almost worth the price.
Absolutely agree with your views Teddy. This is art from a brand that has stood the test of time. Part of the issue though is the ability of the brand to make its watches accessible. Living in Dubai, several brands including Grand Seiko, getting to try specific watches is difficult. The AD don’t have a wide selection on display and expecting the customer to place a special order without ever trying the watch, is a bit too much. Waiting for two years to actually view a snowflake at the AD.
Grand seiko is an emerging brand. Is bad by me as well. They don’t have a door in my state except for the southwest corner which is a 4 hour drive. I know for a fact that they are scaling out though opening new doors.
@@TeddyBaldassarre scale up is an understatement. In my location in 4hrs I can cover the length of the county. So it is really to do with how GS is working with the AD honestly. Not sure if the other markets but multi-branded shops with a small showcase displaying few basis watches isn’t going to create a Rolex vibe , now matter how good the product is.
Breguet. A brand that is rather underrated I would say their finishing and movements are right up there with the holy trinity. Do hope they get much more attention in the future.
MY Holy Trinity is Patek, Breguet and Jaeger In fact, Jaeger has made movements for the entire Trinity... but not for Breguet, far as I know. AP still uses Jaeger Le Coultre cals in their Jumbos...
I've a question on watches with retrograde seconds complications - are they durable and do they require more frequent servicing? Anyone with actual experience with such watches please? Thanks!
Thanks Freddie, glad to know that. Not that I'm going out there now to get a Breguet 7097, but just to know in case in future I decide to get one or something else with this feature. Nice timepiece you've got there by the way!
This watch is honestly in my opinion the most beautiful watch I will never own! I'm happy with my Omega SMP 300, but this piece makes me want to play the lottery so much more, especially since crypto took a big loss, glad I sold when I did to have my SMP. Rolex IMHO doesn't have anything as beautiful as this masterpiece! I can't even own one but I have my opinion. I'm not sure about the price of it, but I honestly believe it belongs in a museum case! I would be honored just to be able to have one on my wrist for five seconds! This is absolutely the most beautiful watch I have ever laid my eyes upon. Jesus would wear this watch with pride! Not sure you should be comparing it to that run of the mill Rolex Daytona, this beats it hands down! Way more beautiful!
Hey teddy, can you or anyone recommend an automatic chronograph with a metal bracelet and exhibition case back for under a thousand? I just haven't had any luck finding this exact watch I'm looking for. I'd love a tachymeter but I'll honestly take any chronograph at this point.
Ted, does Breguet rank in terms of workmanship with the likes of brand like FPJourne, De Bethune, A Lange & Sohnne ? Perhaps the Breguet name is now associated with Swatch group & no longer seen the same way as the higher end independants.
They make astounding watches and carry the name of the greatest watchmaker of all time. It's a shame they don't get the broad recognition that it deserves.
That 7727 was the star of all the pieces selected in that video. That 10Hz mechanism is a counter-intuitive approach to the problem of creating a very high beat mechanical balance. I recall reading that one of the GPHG judges mentioned that the votes were near unanimous (if not unanimous) to award it the top prize. It's a tour de force.
Same as Patek, Vacheron and almost all the rest. Right now, I can't remember of a single manufacture that has kept the lineage intact Who cares? They are following the tradition and the design cues of the brand as good as any other. Stop nitpicking, man :)
Breguet is underrated, they truly go above and beyond with their manual labor, and it shows. Dress watches may not be in vogue anymore, but if Breguet focuses on their sports collection a little more, I think they’ll have room to grow in the market.

I have the black Brequet and my Rolex is blue face so they get equal time
Can’t believe you covered my ultimate grail!! You’re the man Teddy. PLEASE cover the Cartier Santos (medium) next!
One of my favorites as well! Medium would be my size choice too. One of the rare watches where I might give the edge to two tone.

GRAIL! Some watches, you pick them up and you're lost for words. A$30k watch should do that. An extraordinary watch.
As much as I love this model and the different variants, the lugs let it down for me😏
Love seeing these unobtainable (for me) watches. Have you done a video on skeleton watches, all prices?
Teddy, a great video on a great brand. If I was in the market for a chronograph, I would definitely have their XXI on my short list.
I just saw this in person at King Jewlers in Aventura SoFla! One of my absolute favorites !!
Definitely love this look more than the Daytona ... but I understand how the Daytona is more sporty and everyday functional plus the racing connection.
Beautiful. Definitely on the Wishlist!
Also, not sure why the dial at 12 o’clock is “silvered gold” rather than the white gold the case is made from?
Absolutely agree. I remember those capticating my mind for a very long time. It's a great watch. It might not be good for flexing, but it's fine with me

It’s interesting that they are part of the Swatch Group, considering their ties with Lemania.

Hey teddy, can you or anyone recommend an automatic chronograph with a metal bracelet and exhibition case back for under a thousand? I just haven't had any luck finding this exact watch I'm looking for. I'd love a tachymeter but I'll honestly take any chronograph at this point.
If it was a mb&f could cost over 100.000 it reminds me of legacy machine
Ted, does Breguet rank in terms of workmanship with the likes of brand like FPJourne, De Bethune, A Lange & Sohnne ? Perhaps the Breguet name is now associated with Swatch group & no longer seen the same way as the higher end independants.
I love this watch, lately I find myself drawn more and more towards dress watches
Love this design ❤️
They make astounding watches and carry the name of the greatest watchmaker of all time. It's a shame they don't get the broad recognition that it deserves.
While this piece is absolutely stunning. Would love to see a review on the breguet that Kevin O'Leary picked out. That one is a showstopper
@@samgrant83 yeah Kevin has good taste.
That 7727 was the star of all the pieces selected in that video. That 10Hz mechanism is a counter-intuitive approach to the problem of creating a very high beat mechanical balance. I recall reading that one of the GPHG judges mentioned that the votes were near unanimous (if not unanimous) to award it the top prize. It's a tour de force.
Breguet is indeed underrated, but the company behind the name can hardly count as a direct successor of the original manufacturer of the same name...
Same as Patek, Vacheron and almost all the rest. Right now, I can't remember of a single manufacture that has kept the lineage intact
Who cares? They are following the tradition and the design cues of the brand as good as any other. Stop nitpicking, man :)
Great video 👍
I absolutely adore breguet but the entry point is too high for me. And I'm not sure that'll ever change
Such a great watch maker, with such a classy name
