One of the most historic brands in the world, Breguet is known by many as the Watchmaker to Kings. It was Breguet who first invented and patented the tourbillon in 1801, as a way of ensuring that the movement rate of pocket watches would not be affected by gravity. The Messidor tourbillon is considered to be one of the finest of the Breguet time pieces, housing a transparent regulator that appears to float between two sheets of sapphire crystal.
