Breguet 1160 Marie Antoinette Pocket Watch 'Original Replica' Hands-On
The Breguet 1160 Marie Antoinette pocket watch is truly one of the most impressive and fascinating horological objects of our modern times. In many ways, this watch and the story around it have formed the foundation for what keeps me in love with timepieces and why I started best watches in the first place. This article is perhaps not true a “hands-on,” as no one but a select few “watch handlers” at Breguet are even allowed to touch what is probably the most valuable modern pocket watch of all time. In 2013, an estimated value for the Breguet 1160 pocket watch was set at US$30 million. Its true value could be much more but will likely never be tested during my lifetime, as this product remains a permanent part of the Breguet brand.
