Fit for a King: Next month, time will stop in London when Sotheby’s unveils one of the most important watches created by Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823), the watchmaking genius who made accurate time portable thanks to his revolutionary invention: The Tourbillon. - Discreetly sold to King George III in 1808, in the midst of the Napoleonic Wars, this gold four-minute tourbillon watch will be offered as part of a single-owner auction in London on 14 July, with an estimate of £700,000 – 1 million. - Engraved with King George III’s royal cypher and the letters G & R, the watch is most probably the first tourbillon Breguet sold commercially and is groundbreaking from many points of view. - Click the link in bio for more info - #SothebysWatches #Breguet #kinggeorgeIII #tourbillon
