This edition of Bring a Loupe highlights several notable watches, including a rare Breguet triple-date chronograph with moon phase from the collection of Emmanuel Breguet. The feature also examines a LIP chronograph with a 'Paul Newman' style dial and a vintage IWC Aquatimer, offering insights into their historical context and current market appeal.
- Breguet triple-date chronograph with moon phase from Emmanuel Breguet's collection
- LIP chronograph with plated case
- Vintage IWC Aquatimer
The Breguet triple-date chronograph with moon phase is notable for its provenance, coming from the collection of Emmanuel Breguet, VP and head of patrimony at Montres Breguet.
While Breguet triple-date chronographs with moon phase are scarce, this particular example has dial flaws that detract from its condition.
The LIP chronograph features a 36mm plated case with sharp lugs, and its dial and hands present complexities, with a smudged running seconds subdial and LIP logo.
The LIP chronograph's Valjoux 7733 movement requires servicing as the chronograph function is not working, but the movement is common.
The vintage IWC Aquatimer is described as a classic ESPA-cased super compressor from the 1960s.
