On Saturday, October 29, 2016, Breguet invited 120 distinguished guests to gather at the Résidence de France in Tokyo, to celebrate the inauguration of the “Marie-Antoinette, a Queen in Versailles” exhibition. By supporting this cultural project, the Manufacture wished to honour the memory of one of its most devoted historical clients. The influence of the queen on creations by the watchmaker was illustrated by pocket watch No. 1160, a reproduction of the celebrated “Marie-Antoinette” ordered for her in 1783. In tribute to Marie-Antoinette, the House of Breguet unveiled two new creations specially developed for this launch of the “Marie-Antoinette, a Queen in Versailles” exhibition in Japan.
