BREGUET: The Inventor Who Defined Time Subtitle: From the Quai de l'Horloge to Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Haute Horlogerie

The definitive history of the man who didn't just make watches-he invented time as we know it.

In 1775, a young Swiss immigrant named Abraham-Louis Breguet opened a small workshop on the banks of the Seine. He had no fortune and no formal credentials, yet within a decade, his name would be a synonym for elegance in the courts of Europe. From the tragic brilliance of the Marie-Antoinette pocket watch to the invention of the tourbillon, Breguet's genius survived revolutions, exiles, and the collapse of empires to define the very language of mechanical watchmaking.
