Great pictures. Never visited the museum will have a look next time in Israel. The watch has a very interesting story. There is a cool book about the watch and how it was stolen by John Biggs - I really enjoyed it.

Breguet was, and still be, a world apart! (no CAD/CAM/Laser and hig tech materials at that time!) Thanks for sharing! massi [nt]

Thanks Filip - I have seen the recreation from Breguet and it was so so difficult to photograph well. A very special memory for you :) [nt]

When it was stolen from the museum it sat in a box in a garage for 25 years until the thief died and confessed to his wife. This happened soon after the 4 year build of the recreation by

Breguet - It's truly an amazing story and I hope that one day I will also visit to see it in the flesh.

The watch of watches!
