Breguet Marie-Antoinette No. 1160 Coming to LA and NYC
Breguet No. 160 generated two of the greatest mysteries in watchmaking: who ordered it, and who stole it? Commissioned by an unknown admirer of Marie-Antoinette in 1783 as a gift for the queen, it was not completed until 1827, 34 years after her death. In 1983 it was stolen from a Jerusalem museum in a daring heist. In 2005, Nicolas G. Hayek, President and CEO of Montres Breguet, commissioned the manufacture to exactly recreate No. 160. The result was No. 1160 – a treasure in its own right, and it’s coming to the USA. No. 1160 (pictured below) was created by the watchmakers and artisans of Montres Breguet using drawings and photographs of the original, and great pains were taken to make the recreation as authentic as possible, down to using tools and materials common in A. L. Breguet’s day. Breguet No. 1160 will be on display and available for public viewing on these dates at these locations:October 14 (10-2 pm)October 15 & 16 (10-6 pm)The Breguet Boutique280 Nort

Visit to the Patek Boutique in NYC
Was there for Vacation last week.Inside of Tiffany & Co.These two in specific really caught my eye.Both beautiful pieces. The 5227G and the 5146G.The 5146G in specific really sang to me.Love the dial color, the versatility and the annual calendar complication.Want to see it in Rose Gold as well, to see which I like better.Certainly one I can see myself adding in the future.Own a BLNR and a 5711, hence the 5146 makes more sense to me.
