The exclusive selection of Breguet historical antique pocket watches dates back to 1804 and was commissioned and sold to royal patrons.
Breguet, the grandmaster of the world of horological luxury and brilliant watch making, has opened its first standalone boutique on Malaysian shores. Located at the most prestigious address amidst the Golden Triangle Kuala Lumpur, this exclusive boutique boasts an impressive 100sqm space at the main lobby of JW Marriott Hotel. This marks the rapid expansion and ambition of the world class luxury brand and its intentions in catering to the rising demand for its creations among the elite society of Kuala Lumpur.
In conjunction with the grand opening and in paying homage to Breguet’s timeless heritage, Mr. Emmanuel Breguet, the seventh generation direct descendant of Abraham-Louis Breguet, brought down with him an exclusive selection of historical antique pocket watches from the Breguet Museum in Place Vendome, Paris. The exclusive vintage collection dates back to 1804 and was commissioned and sold to royal patrons.
