Marie-Antoinette

The hands, dials, its movements and the men who shape and give life to the class of time-pieces has several stories to tell. An enigma is the story of the expensive and noble watches, something like a canvas painting. Just as a picture can speak a thousand words, a watch reveals moments of several times.
One such piece is the Mario-Antoinette, the watch whose making began by A-L Breguet and was completed by his son after his death. It took a period of 44 years to complete this impressive work. During the time France had become a Republic and the then Queen's tomb was in the cemetery. The watch therefore survived a revolution, found it's way to the Jerusalem Museum only to be stolen in 1983 and remains untraced ever since.
As expects say, the watch is worth an Agartha Christe plot. Nichole G Hayek, the CEO of the Swatch Group and Breguet considering the Marie-Antoinette to be one he's ready to shell out any amount for. He sure has already spent billions to lay his hands on Breguet and place them in the Paris-based Breguet Museum.
So here's a call for the return of the World's most precious watch - Maire-Antoinette.
