Breguet is yet another legend of horology. Some call Abraham Louis Breguet the greatest watchmaker of all time. Breguet produced the first automatic watches, the celebrated perpétuelles, in 1765 and launched others in 1780. He also patented the tourbillon in 1801 and manufactured the first wrist watch in 1810.
Napoléon wore a Breguet watch at Waterloo. Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill kept time with Breguet watches. In literature, a Breguet watch was consulted regularly by Phineas Fogg, the hero of Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days.
