This very rare and incredibly attractive Breguet single button chronograph is unquestionably one of the rarest and most significant of all vintage Breguet wristwatches. To the best of our knowledge it is the only example of its type publicly known.

According to Breguet the present timepiece was sold to the highly prestigious Paris jewellers, Maison Burma, in 1952.

The black dial is highly attractive and what is most apparent is the asymmetric arrangement of the subsidiary seconds and 30-minute registers positioned at 8 and 2 o’clock respectively. The co-axial single-button crown is also positioned at 2 o’clock. This arrangement is quite ingenious so that if one’s arm was holding a steering wheel or airplane joystick, the subsidiary dials and crown would in fact be in a horizontal straight line. It is quite likely that this watch was a civilian special order for a client of Maison Burma and significantly, it pre-dates Breguet’s military ‘Type XX’ chronographs by at least 2 years.
