Breguet Recounts Two Centuries of Explorations in Australia

Last week in Sydney, Breguet partnered with the Centre Nicolas Baudin for an exhibition of visual images narrating key moments of Australian history, observed from the perspective of exploration. At this occasion, the House presented a very rare museum piece, the marine chronometer N°3196 from 1822, as well as a selection of contemporary Marine and Classique watches evoking travel and discovery.

The event welcomed special guest speakers, the directors of the Centre Nicolas Baudin, anthropologist Alizée Chasse, and writer Patrick Llewellyn, who recounted the journey of two daring French explorers as they discovered Australia, Hyacinthe de Bougainville and Jules Dumont d’Urville.
