After collecting watches since a bit over 30 years ...

I think I could settle with only one brand :-)

Not that I want to, but if I had to ...

* The Tradition is imo one of the most unique watches you'll find in the market.
* A Type XX is a good all around watch for daily use, waterproof, chronograph, ...
* And for a grande complication a Tourbillon, perpetual calendar will probably tick all the boxes.

And the fact that the man who founded the brand was, is and always will be THE inspiration for new watchmakers is a nice bonus.

Is Swatch group following the right strategy for Breguet ? I guess they try but they could do so much more.
People often talk about the Daniel Roth era when he was at Breguet but to be honest I think Mr Nicolas Hayek was the most important.
He died too soon but he understood the possibilities and potential.

Outside of the Tradition, I’ve been disappointed with Breguet.

My Tsar Du Reveil was nice, but the backside finishing not as nice as the Tradition.
Time only Marine was nice, but the chronograph had some big mistakes.

But, all 3 or 4 traditions have been amazing lol
