When looking at super high end chronographs with a link to the past we have to look at the Lemania based chronographs.

Yes Lange makes super Chronographs but for some reason they just look too modern and too clean to me.

Yes, A super finished Lemania is th more beautiful to me.

We all know the Patek 5004 and 5970 which both used that movement, but when looking at a pure Chronograph only we have to look at the Patek 5070.
Now that is a great watch but also Vacheron and Breguet used the same calibre for their manual wind chronograph.

Which one of the 3 do you like the most. Which is the most perfect classic chrono
and please DON'T VOTE FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE, TAKE THE MOST BEAUTIFULL

Vacheron

Breguet

Patek

That Vacheron is gorgeous.

Jmaster · Yesterday, 02:52 AM

Vacheron - because I’m bias to this particular model …

The PP is too big for my wrist. The Breguet is nice but I find the dial less elegant, and I’m not big fan of Breguet case.

PhilLynott · Yesterday, 02:56 AM

The Breguet is top of my short list at the moment. It’s one of the most beautiful watches ever made in my opinion. Just pure class.

Not that the others arent pure class as well can’t go wrong of course.

I genuinely think the Roger Dubuis Hommage H40 is the best looking chronograph with a lemania movement.

HL65 · Yesterday, 03:25 AM

Personally I think the Cornes De Vache is the best looking chrono out there. The watch is absolutely perfect in every way IMHO. Here is mine in platinum….

If I was going VC agree with Ken it would certainly be the CDV.

With that said I think that breguet is essentially perfect. I do not like the 5070 series at all.

kunlun · Yesterday, 03:59 AM

Breguet

Cru Jones · Yesterday, 07:06 AM

Of the three in the first post, the Breguet is clearly the nicest looking, IMHO.

Throw Ken’s VC into the mix and I’d have a harder time choosing.

Easy E · Yesterday, 07:46 AM

I am a fan of VC, but of these three that Brequet is a clear winner (to me).

yoast · Yesterday, 02:01 PM

5070 for me, one of my all time favorites

chaosiwe · Yesterday, 03:33 PM

I voted for VC, but also second about CDV. It is a beauty

Not a fan of any of the three in the first post. The Roger Dubuis is very pretty though. In reality, I'd prefer an 1815 chrono or 5170P, Lemania be damned.

Brilliant! I'm starting the hunt for its steel counterpart.

Flawless. Wish I had jumped on one years ago.

Thanks Mariusz! Good luck they are amazing!

That’s such an unfair fight - the CdV is one of the most beautiful watches anywhere, at any price.

There are quite a few configurations (some are monopusher) and from time to time, 1 will pop up at auction or at ACM. I like the 1st one below (pink gold case and black dial) and will put a bid when 1 becomes available.

Dear God, the guilloche salmon dial mono push is incredible!

mongrelnomoad · Yesterday, 10:27 PM

Such a gorgeous watch, but just like the Patek I find the bezel too thick, undermining the dial.

Any or all would work for me.
