Breguet numerals

Ever since I first learned of Breguet numerals a few years ago I've been obsessed with them. I think they're perfect. I'm wondering if you guys can share with me some photos of watches with them that you either own or admire. I'd like to get a piece with Breguet's one day. I was also curious about how it works when other companies create watches with the numerals- is there any royalty or similar to be paid or is it all fair game after the 200+ years?

Interesting post. I love the Breguet numerals as well. I have seen a person in a FB watch group post up photos of a Seiko with Breguet numerals it is really cool

Yeah the GS with Breguet numerals is the Wako Limited Edition. Interesting mix of Gothic script, classic numerals in Japanese watch.

I really like Breguet numerals on the right watch. Also, I'm pretty sure no one is being paid a royalty for using these.

No it’s more of a calatrava type looking Seiko. Plain gloss white three hand dial with black Breguet numerals

Thanks for sharing your lovely Marine - I am considering this version or the black dial steel one. Any thoughts you can give on ownership?

Also Breguet numbers rock!

It’s very unique piece, I sold it some time ago.
