The Marie-Antoinette pocket watch was completed in 1827, 34 years after the queen was guillotined and four years after Breguet’s death. In 1983, the famed timepiece was stolen from the L.A. Mayer Museum of Islamic Art in Jerusalem. In 2005, Nicolas G. Hayek, President and CEO of Montres Breguet, commissioned the manufacture to exactly recreate No. 160. After three and a half years, the result was No. 1160.
A masterpiece of complications, this extraordinary work of art includes jumping hours, full perpetual calendar, minute-repeater, thermometer and equation of time. In total, the Marie-Antoinette watch is an assembly of 823 parts, each finished to the most remarkable degree of perfection.
In October, Breguet's Marie-Antoinette No. 1160 will be on display and available for public viewing on these dates and at these locations:
