Fit for a King! 👑

King George III’s Tourbillon watch - one of the most important watches created by Abraham-Louis Breguet – sold for $2m in London in July – a record for a Breguet Tourbillon.

Discreetly sold to King George III in 1808, in the midst of the Napoleonic Wars, the gold four-minute tourbillon watch is most probably the first tourbillon Breguet sold commercially and is groundbreaking from many points of view. #CountdownToTheNewYear
