The worldโ€™s most famous watch designed for Marie Antoinette by Abraham-Louis Breguet will be on public display for the first time in the UK in our new exhibition Versailles: Science and Splendour. Commissioned in 1783, this intricately engineered masterpiece took decades to be completed with neither Breguet nor the Queen able to see the finished handcrafted watch. To learn more about this and other incredible objects and human stories, book now for Versailles: Science and Splendour: bit.ly/3ZcFocA ๐Ÿ“ธ: The 'Marie Antoinette' perpetuelle, Breguet, No. 160, Paris, 1783-1820 ยฉ The Museum for Islamic Art, Jerusalem.
