This book is dedicated to the life, career, and scientific legacy of Breguet, the celebrated clockmaker, physicist, and inventor, and accompanies an exhibition at the Louvre. He was a master in his art and was sought after by the most exclusive clients of his time, including Marie-Antoinette, Napoleon, Josephine, and Talleyrand. Breguet revolutionized modern watch-making with a series of mechanisms patented in his name, including the famous tourbillon clock and the self-winding mechanism designed specifically for Marie-Antoinette. One of his most famous watches, completed after Marie-Antoinette's death, had been lost for centuries but was mysteriously found just a few weeks ago. It is being displayed for the first time in this book.
