A man who shaped the history of watchmaking
Abraham-Louis Brequet born in 1747 was without doubt one of the most important men in the history of watchmaking, if not the most important. With inventions such as the first self-winding mechanism, the shock absorber and the Breguet hairspring, which are still found almost unchanged in every top brand watch today, he crowned the art of watchmaking alongside many other patents with the most beautiful of all complications: The Tourbillon. Even today, long after the death of the most gifted of all master watchmakers, the Breguet brand is still renowned for highly technical innovations in the art of watchmaking.
