Breguet Chronograph Tradition

Such a gorgeous piece.
Love everything about it except 2 things

At 44M its just too big for that brand
And 102.000 euro is steep

Cool looking watch but agree with you. Too big and a little expensive.

Should be 50k soon enough with this brand? I’ve never liked their lug profile figuring it makes them wear larger than specs

It's a very odd chronograph in that the mechanism is apparently not reliable past a certain elapsed time, so it's an odd choice in my opinion.

Go aftermarket. Breguet are amazing pieces but don’t hold their value. I eventually want a Breguet just don’t know which one just yet. This one is gorgeous!

I wish Breguet would redesign their lugs. It's the one thing I would change on mine.

I feel the same way. I think their cases and dials look incredible but the lugs are just not for me. I'd also go secondary as a lot of the retail prices seem quite ambitious.

It's amazing, but I agree -- just too big at 44mm and in that style with a near non-existent bezel and straight lugs. The 40mm traditions are already big enough. And the chrono is certainly a watch to buy preowned.

Agree with the above 44mm is a crazy size for the case profile. I think the classique case design works best in 34mm to 36mm.

I for one do like the breguet lugs on the classique case- I think it suits the case very well.
