Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 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.Inside this researched volume I explore: The Revolutionary Inventor: How Breguet pioneered the self-winding perpetuelle, the first reliable shock-protection system (the pare-chute), and the legendary tourbillon-a patent that changed horology forever.A Royal Clientele: The fascinating stories behind his most famous patrons, including Marie Antoinette, Napoleon Bonaparte, Tsar Alexander I, and Winston Churchill.The Engineering Masterpieces: A deep dive into the architecture of horological icons like the No. 160 "Marie-Antoinette"-the most complex watch of its era-and the Queen of Naples' No. 2639, the world's first wristwatch.The Modern Renaissance: The dramatic 1999 rescue of the House of Breguet by Nicolas G. Hayek and its rise to the pinnacle of the Swatch Group.The Living Legacy: An examination of the five modern collections-Classique, Tradition, Marine, Type XX, and Reine de Naples-and how they translate 18th-century mastery into 21st-century innovation.Whether you are a seasoned collector, an engineering enthusiast, or a lover of European history, Breguet: The Inventor Who Defined Time is an invitation to understand why, 250 years later, the world still looks to the Quai de l'Horloge to see how time is measured. Step into the world of the "Watchmaker to Kings" and discover the mechanical heart of history. Dr. Cornelis van Houte is a passionate watch enthusiast and prolific author whose Definitive Watch Series examens legendary timepieces through technical, historical, and cultural lenses.
