The loss of Abraham-Louis Breguet does not mean the end of interest in the House from the elites and other royal families. It is for this reason that Queen Victoria of England purchases a Breguet watch in 1838, a year following her ascent to the throne. The artistic world also presented numerous admirers of Breguet, including the great Italian composer Gioachino Rossini who treats himself to a small simple watch in 1843.
