In the lavish setting of the 1780s French court, marked by opulence and refined tastes, Abraham-Louis Breguet found a fervent supporter in Marie Antoinette, the royal consort to Louis XI. This period became the cornerstone of Breguet’s historical legacy, as Marie Antoinette not only admired his creations but actively championed his timepieces.
The Stolen Watch and Its Recreated Splendor
A pivotal moment in Breguet’s history occurred in 1983 when a watch was stolen from a Jerusalem museum. Despite the theft, this timepiece was later recreated based on archival references, solidifying its position as the fifth most complicated watch globally. Owning a Breguet timepiece is akin to possessing a piece of this rich history.
