Antiques Roadshow
I just watched the 'Antiques Roadshow'here in the Uk....A woman had a Mint condition Breguet 'TACT' watch with vibrant blue enamel and diamonds..The specialist described Breguet as the Greatest Watchmaker of all time (as we all know).....He valued it at a minimum of £50,000...It was the greatest watch he had seen ever on the 28 years of the Roadshow...There is a picture of one exactly the same on page 163 of Emannuel Breguets book 'Watchmaker to the kings'..................this made my day as I always hoped to see A Breguet on The Roadshow.......
Its always interesting to watch the expressions on peoples faces
when they are told they have very very valuable items on that show. Like you, I have never seen a Breguet brought in for assessment but thanks for the news.

It wasnt just the watch
It was the way he described Abraham Louis Breguet as the greatest watchmaker of all time...to hear a specialist on that show to acknowledge that, was special.....
I saw it too
That watch was awesome. The woman who owned it appeared to have no idea what she had in her posession.
