Montres Breguet’s history includes it being commissioned by an admirer of Marie Antoinette in 1783 to create the most complex and all inclusive watch of the time as a gift for the Queen.

This watch known as A.L. Breguet’s Marie Antoinette No. 1160 was not complete until 34 years after her death and the original watch was stolen during a heist in 1983 at a Jerusalem museum.

Nicholas,  the President and CEO of Montres Breguet, has recreated the famous Marie Antoinette No. 1160 to be seen again in October of 2009 within the US.

The self-winding ‘perpetuel’ movement of No. 1160 is comprised of 823 components, has sapphires, pink gold  polished with wood and blued steel. This master timepiece is presented in an opulent box consisting of more than 3,500 pieces of wood sculpted from Marie-Antoinette’s favorite oak tree at the Versailles Estate.

The venues in which the No. 1160 could be witnessed at are the Breguet Boutique in Beverly Hills, CA on the 14th-16th of October and at the Breguet Boutique in New York, NY on the 19th-21st of October.
