Description: From the workshops of pre-Revolutionary Paris to the boardrooms of modern Switzerland, this sweeping history traces more than two centuries of the world's most storied watchmaking dynasty. Follow Abraham-Louis Breguet's flight from the Terror, his triumphant return under Napoleon's patronage, and the groundbreaking inventions—including the legendary commission for Marie-Antoinette—that redefined the art of horology. Through generations of successors and eventual acquisition by the Swatch Group, the House of Breguet's story unfolds as a portrait of craftsmanship, resilience, and enduring innovation. An essential read for collectors, historians, and anyone captivated by the intersection of art, engineering, and legacy.
