BREGUET'S MARIE-ANTOINETTE WATCH JOURNEYS TO TAIWAN

From November 20th to 30th, 2014, the exceptional Breguet modern replica of the Marie-Antoinette “Grande Complication” pocket watch N°1160 was the highlight of a unique exhibition at the Breguet Boutique in Taiwan.

This masterpiece is one of the most complicated watches in the world, named after the pocket watch commissioned in 1783 by a mysterious admirer for the Queen of France.

It reveals to the public a host of complications, along with a storied provenance spanning nearly a century. Self-winding watch with a minute-repeater striking the hours, quarters and minutes on demand, it features also – among other numerous complications – a perpetual calendar, equation of time, a power reserve indicator and a bimetallic thermometer.
