The House of Breguet and retailer Pendulum have recently invited several female clients to celebrate Mother’s day in Bangkok . Guests were enthralled by the manufacture’s recent creations, as well as by wonderful stories between a mother and her daughter, like Empress Josephine and her daughter Hortense.
In 1800, Josephine Bonaparte, future Empress, purchased a tact watch, recognizable by its blue-enameled gold case and a diamond-set pointer with tact studs formed by large round diamonds. She leaves this exceptional piece to her dear daughter Hortense de Beauharnais, Queen of Holland, who enhances it even more by replacing the original diamonds with bigger ones, and by adding a crowned H in diamonds on the back of the piece.
