Was in looking at some nice watches and came across some lovely Breguet watches.
I had seen them online before but never in person. I thought they looked fantastic.
What's everyone's opinions on Breguet watches? Do you think they area good brand for the price?

Thanks

Superb watches. The amount of history with these watches are amazing. Quality and craftsmanship and top notch. I would suggest doing some research on the brand. I'm sure you'll like what you see!

As Terminator said the craftsmanship exhibited by Breguet is impeccable. If you're interested you can go to their site and request a product catalogue - it obviously shows their current offering but it details their history and manufacture in beautiful full page glossy pictures and articles.

They're ok

They're ok

Take it you think there is better in that price bracket of Breguet watches?

Thanks, going to do a good bit of research into them. Thought would be nice to hear of any real world experience from other owners.

I own a Breguet Marine Chrono. Absolutely amazing craftsmanship and incredibly well made movements.

Here are a few pics of my Breguet:

I think they're a little better than "ok". If they're not your style, that's fine, but Breguet is definitely not just an "ok" brand. The few that I've handled are built impeccably, and are finished right up there with the big 4. Oh yeah, they were worn by royalty and invented the Tourbillion just to add to that...

Breguet is ranked amongst the finest watches in the world. Top notch watch.

They make fabulous time pieces, one of 10 of the top artisan horological houses in the world.

They're no RGM... ;-)

A buddy of mine has been debating on picking up the Tradition for a while now.

Spent some time with a major collector these were some of his thoughts:

-Top Four Brands based on heritage/brand/value/quality of craftsmanship and movement: Patek, Breguet, A. Lange & Sohne, and Vacheron

Breguet holds more patents in watchmaking than every single other brand added together
Every watch today contains a part supplied by Breguet with the exception of the current lineup from A. Lange & Sohne
Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, Winston Churchill, Etore Bugatti to name a few of Breguets best customers

The Classique models are timeless, etchings are absolutely stunning in detail and hand done. I too fell in love with the history and detail of the company and love the Classique line, found them to be absolutely stunning. I'm placing an order for a Classque Alarm "Le Reveil du Tsar" in rose gold shortly.

Most importantly, buy what speaks to you, but Breguet is unequivocally one of the very finest timepieces you can own.

As a follow-up, thought you all may find this relative given the thread.

Luxury Institute performed a study in which only penta-millionaires were included and asked to provide feedback on what they felt was the top watch brand...nearly 75% named Breguet.

Regarding things I've heard about the other 3:
Patek is certainly undeniably special for numerous reasons
A. Lange movements and craftsmanship are top notch
Vacheron was the watchmaker of the Chinese Emperors, so the wealthy Chinese have been gobbling them up in high demand

Probably the best value of any of the premium watch manufacturers ... and they're really freaking nice.

What does this mean?

 

[Giannis]

Best of the best. I remember seeing a close to 1M $ Breguet in their boutique in place Vendome in Paris.

very beautiful watch and movement. They have a boutique on Madison Ave in New York. Well worth the visit.
