Breguet Marie-Antoinette - Tell me all about it!
Dear Breguet lovers,
I am preparing a trip to the London exhibition where the famous Marie Antoinette watch can be seen and I would like to learn more about the watch.
After a bit of online research, the only thing I could find was the long list of complications, not even simple sketches of the watch explaining where each complication could be read. Ideally a detailed explanation on each part of the movement.
Would you know where to find that? Could someone point me in the right direction? Is there a book? Maybe by George Daniels?
Thanks in advance for your contributions in my hunt!
Best,
E.

There’s a reference to Watch no. 92 being made in the 1780s, after Breguet became an exile. However, the Revolution didn’t begin until 1789, and Breguet left France in 1793.
