Escapement time always knocks it out of the park when it comes to affordable dress watches. Looks well made and very beautiful. If I where to be the advisor to escapement time I would say that if they took this dial, hand and case quality, put in one of the Chinese microrotor movements and made a proper homage to a Breguet dress watch (since both have the off center seconds hand) they would make the ultimate AliExpress dress watch with basically no competition. The price would be higher but fully justified in my opinion.
I did thoroughly enjoy your review. I saw this watch recently and ordered it within 2 minutes. ET is my favorite budget brand. I have the KS homage and it is magnificent. I love Breguet but will never be able to afford even a time share on one LOL so ET it is. I cannot wait to see it irl. Your macro is beautiful. New subscriber. Thanks.
@@Tone_SA Received the watch today. WOW! It is a beautiful piece. The price doesn't seem real. This is my 3rd ET and not one of them has an escapement. 😦
I think this will be my third escapement times piece. Have the type a flieger automatic on a rotation of nato straps and currently wearing their king seiko homage on a jubilee style bracelet and love both of them. Some of best watches for the money out there. Hard to go wrong.
This is common in many other watch brands, even Rolex. For the history and reasons, it's a bit blurry. Some say it's for symmetry, some say it's something in religious history that caused the usage of IIII instead of IV.
don't mind them. The idea of a company coming close to reproducing a Breguet dial this cheap is stunning , besides , there are basically homages for almost all branded watches , even famous brands copy major elements from other brands.. Girard-Perregaux & Chopard copying AP & Patek.. Tudor & rolex.. Etc.. So it's not uncommon. I understand ET literally copied breguet but it's still different. I love the breguet classique & couldnt wait for a company to release something similar & now someone did. I am looking for a coin edge bezel on a classical watch as the Patek calatrava ( eg. 6119G-001) or the Rolex Cellini... If you know such a watch I would be very thankful. Later in life I might get the original, but for the moment I would love to wear this. There aren't many that know breguet & that's an advantage for me now.. Lol. But can't wear it in proper events, some will fish you out. Nonetheless the watch is simply amazing (at least from the photos & your vid) I really doubt the dial is pressed.. I think it's machine carved.. I will receive it soon, & I will start making videos about the watches I have 😅. The strap will be taken off & replaced fast. Got some beautiful python & ostrich straps from Vietnam ready for it.. 😁
