There is a very interesting article on Hodinkee about the the upcoming auction of three very important, and extremely beautiful Breguet pocket watches from the Salomons Collection. The third one is called the The Prince Regent's No. 2788. And is one of Breguets “Sympatique” watches or what we in the FPJ universe know as Resonance. I highly recommend you to read it.
It has some amazing pictures also. I can’t help thinking when I study them that watch making has gone downhill since then.
From the article on Hodinkee. I’m not sure who to credit for the picture.

One reason it has gone downhill

we are obsessed with too many things like Facebook, constant news media, etc. and haven't the peace of mind to focus entirely for years on a project like one of these watches. I remember hearing Kurt Klaus, the IWC mastermind, talk of his taking long walk...
Thanks for sharing
