Timeless Timepiece


What do the following famous persons have in common?

Alexander Pushkin, "Eugene Onegin", 1829; Alexander Dumas, "The Count of Monte Cristo", 1845; John Fowles, "The French Lieutenant's Woman", 1969; Patrick O'Brian, "Blue at the Mizzen", 1999.

All of them have written about the Breguet wristwatch. This wonderful watch is a symbol of master craftmanship and elegance.

Not to be excluded were Napoleon Bonaparte, Arthur Rubinstein, and Sir Winston Churchill- all clients of Breguet's.

How could I ever have this timepiece? Guess I just leave it to my imagination.
