The One That Got Away

I have been quietly collecting the original Type XX watches, which were created in the early ’50s for the French Air Force by four different brands: Vixa, Auricoste, Airain, and Breguet. I have all but the Breguet, as I have been patiently waiting for one that was perfect. While in France recently, I found a perfect specimen. I didn’t pull the trigger fast enough and so lost out.
