Breguet No.160: The Marie Antoinnette is on its way to London
One of the most significant portable timepieces ever created is on its way to a special exhibition in London from its home in Jerusalem.
Two years in the making, a very goof friend has worked tirelessly to make this happen and I will hopefully be able to share more of the details of the project very soon. Needless to say, this is peak horology for alot of enthusiasts. Here is a photo I took a couple of years back of the watch within its very secure vitrine in the Islamic Institute of Art (I drag my wife there every time we visit).
Regards,
Baruch

Very true, but according to marketing and legends - it was supposedly intended for her!
Although she supposedly never knew about it and definitely never saw it as it wasn't completed until many years after her untimely death.
Best watch in the world!
I've only seen the reproduction. I've never seen the original.
Amazing watch, simply amazing over-complication watch by a super genius
It would be wonderful to see. But if and when I can ever be so lucky to see it, will I be able to tell the time? Ha! There is a lot going on there.
When there's a will... There's a way!
There's also a standard white dial for easier telling of the time! ...
