Description |
This watch is in excellent condition. There is some light wear to the bezel paint, and there is a small scratch in the 6 o'clock subdial.
The Breguet Type XX is one of Breguet's most recognisable watches. While being completely different to the Classique line that is synonymous with the brand, the Type XX is no less emblematic of Breguet as a watchmaker. Created for the French Naval Air Arm, it's a pilot's chronograph made with functionality in mind. This is reflected in the large numerals and luminous hands, making it easy to read even in the dark. Another key design feature is the flyback chronograph movement, which lets the user reset the chronograph function without needing to stop it first. In a high-pressure and time-sensitive environment, it was deemed to be a critical function and was therefore included in the specifications for the watch. BREGUET Breguet takes the pride of place as the oldest watchmaking company still in existence. Founded Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1775, the company quickly became famous for providing Europe's monarchy and aristocracy with fine timepieces. More than just a watchmaker, Breguet was also a highly accomplished micromechanical engineer. Even the legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel studied under his tutelage in Paris as a young man. Amongst his other accomplishments, Breguet invented the world's first tourbillon. This highly complex mechanism was design to counter the gravitational pull on a pocket watch's movement, and allowed for a notable increase in accuracy. Today, the brand that bears his name continues to create fine mechanical watches. It wasn't just haute horlogerie though - mong the company's more recent timepieces include the Type XX, used by the French military during the 20th Century. There's also the Classique and Marine, which combine the trademark Breguet aesthetic (think Breguet hands, guilloched dials, and those iconic Breguet numerals) with contemporary watchmaking design and techniques. |
