Hey, jjd, a pleasure to welcome you here, mon ami
Very interesting search and find, my friend!
This is a superb story, indeed.
And don't worry, after having read your post, I fear that my Borat English is worst than yours!
Best, and I'm looking forward to read you more often here!

As for the movement, ask to someone to open it, or better, go to the Breguet Boutique with it... I'm sure Emmanuel will be more than happy to see it in the flesh! Best, Nicolas
Thanks for presenting us a valuable pice of history....
...also I find it very human that sir Winston had on the chain of his watch, mementos etc... Now if only we could have a look at the mechanism... Thanks again Tassos
seems my English are also Borat style...
...I meant "Piece of history"!!! Also I notice that the watch has not the classical Breguet hands and the company's signature...
.. and this is just the post
that marvelously explains my affection for this forum and timepieces thank you so much for sharing this great story with us Sincerely Damian
