Haha....Mostel, I like that.
This HF / Hertz thingee, perhaps is a reason to a provide more value-added with silicium escapement than the typical need no oil, and at high 10Hz ,can measure at finer resolution
Enjoy your Type 21!

Breguet Type XXII 3880 ST 10Hz Chronograph with Flyback
By: Kong : June 9th, 2011-05:11
Last year Breguet snatched the limelight announcing their High Frequency (HF), 10Hz Chronograph, the 3880 ST. A production model and not prototyping. Breguet housed their first HF in the TYPE XXII collection. The 10Hz (72,000 VPH) movement with silicon es...
I like the concept
By: aaronm : June 9th, 2011-07:56
but I find the execution needlessly complex. I think if they hadn't included the second timezone and used that dial at 3 o'clock as a 15 min totalizer or something more chrono-centric. It just seems that they dropped too much of the chroo function to add ...
Good inputs, A ...

It is not easy to read,and indeed, as you say, the subdial at 3H can be some of more chrono-centric. Thanks for viewing. Kong
Thank you!

It's very cool. It has Breguet DNA. I find the dial very busy, but... this may be the idea... The peek a boo in back is fun. Also reminds the owner that this watch comes from a premier house... It's not my Breguet but I have to say they did a nice job, re...

looks Nice

i like the Dial Layout and color scheme. thanks for posting
great post

This is a powerhouse watch...I exceptionally like the way the second hand glides across the dial fluidly.
The running Chrono-hand ...

of the Breguet 10Hz is smoother than Zenith Striking 10th from my observation. Thanks for viewing. Kong
Better

Thanks for the instructive post. Considering that the type XXII wiht the HF movement features an impressive innovation, i think it has not received the attention it deserves. I find the 30 seconds totalizer way better than the solution with a small apertu...
Great observations and inputs ...

Hi Stefan Thanks for the inputs,and hope Breguet and also other brands intending a 10Hz Chronograph will take note too. It is true with some practise, the readout could be easy. Strangely nobody answers my last two questions, perhaps I need to source for ...
I like it!

Hot looking Breguet. Cool dial and caseback. Thanks for posting, Kong.
Indeed it is cool ...

Hi Davo See if you can check out this piece in metal. Pretty cool, now can do 1/10th second. But whoever can design a fast read-out should be the winner ...otherwise most will still prefer the G-Shock Thanks for viewing. Kong
Fantastic write-up...

Fantastic write-up Kong! Looking forward to seeing (and hearing) the other HF movements in the near future!
I love my XXII!

Hi; I started a search for a "low key" travel watch. I used to travel with my Daytona (Zenith) but feel it garners a bit more attention than I would like as a tourist is foreign countries. So I set off to get a watch a good friend has, the XXI. It seems h...
