I love Bréguet. I entered a shop in Place Vendôme when I was a teenager, feeling a little out of place because I was attracted to the beauty of the watches in the window. One of the old salesmen over there treated me with great respect as I was a very important customer, taking the time to explain to me their collection, answering my questions and educating me on these pieces of art, even letting me wear them. When I asked him why he did this, as I definitely did not have the budget to purchase one of these beautiful watches. He told me, « these are art for the passionate, and passion is not a question of budget. These are cultural assets of mankind ». I guess this sums it all. He added, « I wish you to be able to afford one one day ». That I did, and I still remember this wise man every time I wear my watch and cherish the accomplissement it embeds as much as the beauty of the craft.
Mine is a Réveil du Tsar. While not as hype as some other Patek or Audemars, I do not find it less beautiful.
