Breguet Type XXII with box and papers in as new condition. In 2010, Breguet presented the Type XXII 3880, which above all demonstrated the technical sophistication of the manufacture. The watch incorporates a balance wheel that oscillates at a frequency of 10 hertz and can therefore stop the time twice as precisely as a conventional chronograph. In addition to the chronograph, the Type XXII also features a 24-hour display at 3 o'clock and a second time zone with date at 6 o'clock.

A man who shaped the history of watchmaking

Breguet

Abraham-Louis Brequet born in 1747 was without doubt one of the most important men in the history of watchmaking, if not the most important. With inventions such as the first self-winding mechanism, the shock absorber and the Breguet hairspring, which are still found almost unchanged in every top brand watch today, he crowned the art of watchmaking alongside many other patents with the most beautiful of all complications: The Tourbillon. Even today, long after the death of the most gifted of all master watchmakers, the Breguet brand is still renowned for highly technical innovations in the art of watchmaking.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

How deep is deep?

When I started wearing watches at a young age, everything was quite simple for me. If the words “Water Resistant” were written on the back cover, you had to be careful. On the other hand, if it said “30M”, everything was fine. Off to the beach with it and have fun. I wore those watches in the sea for years without a care in the world - for swimming, showering and bathing anyway.
