Amid them are portraits of senior watchmakers who have worked in Antoine de Macedo\u2019s boutique. Some of them have worked with Antoine for 25 years. One watchmaker has already passed away, who had 40 years\u2019 experience with Rolex \u2013 a real expert in that brand.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Among the younger generation watchmaker at Antoine\u2019s, I met a lady from Geneva. She had studied in Patek Phillipe watch schools for three years, after which she worked in Rolex before joining Antoine\u2019s. On her working desk, aside from a bunch of tools, she writes Korean characters on a paper. It turns out that she was mesmerised by Korean pop culture, and wish to move to live in Asian countries. Antoine is trying to persuade her to stay for three years longer. Compare with working in a watch brand, Antoine believe his store is a better place to polish a watchmaker\u2019s skills: \u201cToday you work on a Cartier, tomorrow you make a Patek, and another day a Rolex.\u201d Another young watchmaker Wayne agreed with Antoine. Wayne came from Vancouver, he used to work for a retailer of Patek and Rolex for the after-sells services for Rolex. \u201cIt\u2019s much more interesting to work in the vintage store like here, there are so many different calibres to see.\u201d By the time I visited, there are 9 in-house specialised watchmakers working in Antoine\u2019s.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

and did not make the return to Paris until May 1795.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>During his time back in Switzerland, Breguet managed to keep his Paris shop on Quai de l\u2019Horloge opened. Without surprise, in 1794, when the furious revolutionary army found Breguet did not respond to their recruit, they \u201cransacked and evicted\u201d Breguet\u2019s Paris workshop by force.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Sir David L. Salomons\u2019 book Breguet (1747-1823) (1921) was among the first in the history to put together various facts and details about the life and work of Breguet. In terms of Breguet\u2019s escapement in 1793, Salomons provides an allegation:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In 1762, at the age of 15, Breguet went into an apprenticeship under a watchmaker at Versailles. Since 1780, following his first major invention of the self-winding mechanism (he calls it Perp\u00e9tuelle), the patronage came mainly from the court of Versailles and throughout European aristocracies.\u00a0 During the French Revolution, many of his patrons are destined to the guillotine, amid them are names including Marie-Antoinette and King Louis XVI of France.<\/p><p>During that time, According to Salomons, Breguet\u2019s was befriended with Jean-Paul Marat, whose death in 1793 has been transformed into a world-renowned painting by Jacques-Louis David. Marat was an influential journalist and politician during the French Revolution, and he has learned in advance that Breguet was also singled out for the guillotine. Which was possibly due to his close relationship with the French court and befriended with Abb\u00e9 Marie, his mathematics teacher in Coll\u00e8ge Mazarin. Before Marat been assassinated in the same year, he obtained for Breguet a \u201csafe-pass\u201d, allowing him to the escapement.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>As one of the Breguet official dealer, Antoine described Breguet as classic and timeless. \u201cWhat\u2019s interesting about Breguet is the design is from the 18th century. You can find vintage Rolex or Cartier, but the design is from the beginning of 20th. Breguet is one of the most French watchmakers because he made his career in France\u201d. Antoine also told me that Breguet was married in the catholic church \u00c9glise Saint-Sulpice, just on the other side of Antoine de Macedo\u2019s watch shop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
