The Collector's Corner - Revisiting the Breguet Type XX 3800ST
In one of our earlier articles in The Collector's Corner, we dove into Breguet's illustrious history, focusing on the rebirth of the brand during the midst of the quartz crisis, by looking at the elegant and high-end hand-wound Chronographs of the Roth era. Today, we revisit Breguet, albeit at a slightly later point in the company's history, namely the Investcorp era. And also, a completely different kind of watch, which also looks at the illustrious past of the brand, as well as another side of the family, that of the aviators.

This story, as well as the entire creation process behind the Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto, is the topic of our latest in-depth movie (posted above). Behind the Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto is a st

This modern construction is animated by the ballet of a one-minute tourbillon whose cage is unusually square. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
