The brand celebrated the arrival of the exhibition to the Big Apple with a private cocktail reception on the evening of Thursday, November 8th hosted by Michael Nelson, Breguet U.S. brand president. Also in attendance was a master watchmaker certified in Breguet tourbillons.
Boasting an expansive collection of tourbillon wristwatches, along with rare historic pocket watches, the exhibition offers a look into the brand’s history and contributions to watchmaking. Among the timepieces on display are a tourbillon repeater chronometer from 1812 made by Abraham-Louis Breguet himself (who was awarded the patent for the first tourbillon in 1801), a replica of the perpétuelle pocket watch with “à toc” quarter repeater known as the “No. 5,” and the 5377 ultra-thin tourbillon introduced at Baselworld this year.
