Breguet - Calibre Night in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

12 June 2009, Breguet and Calibre jointly kickstarted an event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A peek at the preparation work done by the team of Calibre before the dinner event at  7:30pm.


5:30pm, approaching the Calibre boutique at the Gardens-Mid Valley.


The shopfront decorated with one of the legends-Napoleon Bonaparte and  Classique Ref. 7137.

From the Breguet's record, Napoleon purchased a perpetuelle repeating watch, a carriage clock with
repeater and calender (first clock Breguet made) and another repeating watch.


Upon entering the boutique, Breguet occupies the prime and private corner of the store.

The decor concept is the latest design by Breguet and has just been used in the previous Basel fair.
