Showing at WatchTime IBG 2014: Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique
WatchTime and noted watch collector and expert Jeff Kingston have teamed up again for the 2014 edition of the popular Inside Basel.Geneva series of collector events, kicking off tomorrow night, September 5, in Chicago. Among the core sponsoring watch brands is Breguet, which will showcase its Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique 5377 at the events.The Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique 5377, which the brand says is the world’s thinnest self-winding tourbillon watch, comes in either a platinum or rose-gold case that measures 42 mm in diameter and an astoundingly slender 7 mm thick.

Off to Geneva tomorrow...
The weather forecast is good and I feel like a day out.... so I have decided on a quick trip to Geneva tomorrow (about a 2 hour drive from home).I intend visiting the PP salon (one of only three) to check out Aquanauts and Nautilus (Nautili?)....and AP's Crown Jewel boutique to see the various Royal Oaks.I shall make sure I have a good lunch, if only to follow Gerardo's example, and will certainly pay curtesy visits to a couple of Rolex ADs...I do not intend purchasing on this trip (famous last words), but hope to come away having decided between a 15400, ROC, and Aquanaut.Will post an update when I get back.....
