Patrick O’Brian, English writer and watchmaking connoisseur, pays tribute to Breguet in 1999 in his work « Blue at the Mizzen ». Three years later, it is the Japanese author Jiro Asada who pays homage to the brand: «My watch that you see here is a jewel made by a great craftsman called Breguet. It seems that it was once treasured by King Louis and Queen Marie-Antoinette. It’s a real masterpiece, of unequalled precision».
