Breguet Birthday Bash: Exhibit Celebrates Bicentennial of the Wristwatch
The discussion about what was the first timepiece for the wrist, and what watchmaker produced it, has typically involved a handful of well-known contenders, chiefly Cartier, with its Santos-Dumont from 1904, and Patek Philippe, with its Countess Koscowicz watch from 1868. Breguet, however, has the historical documents to make a compelling case for the honor. The brand’s namesake, legendary watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, delivered a wrist-worn timepiece, commissioned by Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples and sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, as early as 1812.This year, of course, marks the 200th anniversary of that milestone, and Montres Breguet, the brand that today carries on Breguet’s name, is commemorating it with an exhibit of historical interest and import to watch aficionados, called “1810-1812: Breguet Makes the First Wristwatch, Fit For a Queen.” First launched in Geneva, the exhibit begins a worldwide tour starting this week at Breguet’s Fifth Avenue

New 2010 Patek Philippe Catalogue
...this new 225 page hard cover catralogue is 'really' nice and quite different from previous years.Instead of just listing various models there is a lot of good technical drawingsand articles about various complications as well as info about company philosophy and history.Similar format to previous years....but IMO in a nicer presentation package.An excellent read for any watch aficionado...a must have for any Patek fan. My favorite Patek AD was very kind to ship me one. Most ADs should have them bynow, so if you have one locally - do yourself a favor and pick one up !
