I've seen a lot of questions about reliability, but on mostly other forums, however no one has specifically mentioned what is not reliable about a breguet, and what/how they break down. The only info i do have on this..is that in the 1970's when InvestCorp or Chaumet was managing breguet...they did not use the most innovative movements, in comparison to the other elite brands, and due to their lack of financial support, the watches were no of the same build and quaility has they once used to be. Another thing that I had come across was that the Type XX/XXI had reliability issues only in the beginning of their manufacturing process....there was a spring or something that would be susceptible to being broken due to faulty manufacturing. However, that the only information that I have come across, nothing else. I would gladly appreciate if any one could add their 2 cents or whatever info they have on the issues of Breguet and reliability. Plus with their induction into the swatch group i believe the brand is onthe correct path to regaining some of its tarnished glory, as it is being given the proper financial backing and the personal dedication of Nicholas Hayek
