Thanks, Anthony
This will be a great experience. I have seen these watches twice at the Swiss National Museum and they represent the greatest collection of single brand watches I have ever seen. We all think we know of Abraham-Louis Breguet's inventions and innovations---tourbillon, Breguet overcoil, minute repeater gongs, parachute anti-shock, guilloche dials---but there is so much more. His creativity was boundless and it is thrilling to see how relevant what he did 200 years ago is today.
I still have a handful of open slots for Thursday, Oct1. Please PM me to get on the list.

Exhibit in Europe
Hi Magnus. Indeed this has been in Europe....a lot. It has been at the Hermitage, the Louvre and both Swiss National Museums (Prangins and Zurich). San Francisco is the first time outside of Europe.
Thank you! A special event
Thank you to Breguet and the Legion of Honor for this great event! It is a must-see and truly special event. So many grails in one place! I thought I would spend an hour or so and it became many many hours.

Hi Gang. There are just a few places left for the Thursday Oct 1 visit to the Breguet Exhibit at the Palace of the Legion of Honor followed by dinner. I guess one point was not clear.....Breguet is hosting the whole thing, Museum ticket and dinner. We are...
