Conquête du Temps

The diligent reader of Emmanuel Breguet's Breguet Watchmakers since 1775 will remember a thumbnail image (glossary, page 353) featuring Breguet from the 1958 trilogy of frescoes The Conquest of Time by Hans Erni (1905-2015); for the curious reader is enclosed the full fresco (Philosophy of time measurement) which Breguet appears in along with the other two frescoes entitled: History of time measurement & ​​Technique of time measurement, larger images of the Philosophy of time measurement painting are also enclosed. I think the frescoes can be seen at the Musée international d'horlogerie.
