I can dig on vote brands, but currently own VCs. They get my vote.

[PhilLynott]

There are a handful of VCs I'd love to own I'm a big fan of the brand but there are about 70 Breguet's I'd love to own I love just about everything they do. I'm in the process of considering selling off 4-5 watches and replacing with another Breguet or even 2 depending on how things go.

For me any breguet tradition is better than any vacheron
I love botje brands but breguet is my favourite

[WatchTimes]

Id have to say VC for the win.
Breguet does make beautiful watches but most Ive tried on do not fit me well and they aren't really my style.
You have to decide which you like more as you can't go wrong with either.

Breguet all the way
VC can’t even be compared to Breguet

Have to disagree. ALS is second to many. Sad brand with a sadder history.

My instinct is to say VC because their high end stuff is just sensational but breguet does so many things well across the board particularly at the entry level. The dials and casework are wonderful for the price particularly if you buy secondhand it’s almost criminally undervalued. Speaking on the classique line not the type xx which they butchered.

VC.
And I totally agree with the below, including the consideration of AP that, with its almost monoline offering, is for me by far the less valuable in the holy trinity.
Still, I believe that the holy trinity is PP VC AP. No way that a brand like ALS, even if it may offer quality products, can be even compared to any of them.

Look at the historical importance of Breguet.
Look what patterns breguet has, the inventions
People who owned breguet

I honest DO NOT understand why people still talk about the holy trinity
Breguet has much more achieved then AP and VC…. I would even say it’s more important than Patek.

I’ve had diner with mr stern a couple of times when visiting the patek manufacture.
If you ever have the chance… do ask him this question, cause I did

“ if you were not the CEO of Patek, which brand would you prefer to to lead? “
His answer is clearly Breguet. He likes the brand a lot and said it had much more potential but somehow they don’t use the right marketing.

Honestly. Buy some breguet books and read about it !

Well, you have your own idea and, also, believe that Mr Stern saying is “the indisputable truth” … mmmhhh...
And, maybe you give for granted that if many, many people do not have your idea, they are in wrong and need to buy books because they “do not know”. Mmhhhh…
I think that many people writing here perfectly know about the history of the brands, have read many books (and not only about Breguet), have documented and have matured their own idea and preference based on maisons’ history, heritage, offering, etc.

And I am saying this deeply loving Breguet however, consciously preferring VC (and, in general, I accept that, among passionates some other may prefer Breguet not thinking, for this, that “they all do not know the truth” and need to read books about VC).
