Breguet is Patron of French National Navy Museum

In celebration of the links with the maritime world, the House of Breguet announced its new status as patron of the French National Navy Museum in Paris, with the support of its President Marc Hayek. One particular endeavour it is supporting is the creation of a room devoted to navigation at sea through the ages, which will feature some key objects from the museum’s collection: ship models from different civilizations, ancient instruments of navigation, modern electronic instruments, as well as buoys and headlights. It will also include the naval chronometer N°5072 that was produced from 1817 to 1818 in the workshops of Abraham-Louis Breguet, founder of the House of Breguet. Throughout his decorated career, he never ceased to demonstrate his exceptional skill in time measurement. His dedication and his many inventions earned him major recognition and distinction.
