Bal Harbour, FL – January 26, 2012 – Breguet and U.S Brand President Michael Nelson hosted the esteemed watchmaking house’s Grand Opening celebration at Bal Harbour Shops, followed by an intimate dinner at the newly opened St. Regis Bal Harbour. Mr. Stephane Aubert, master engraver for Manufacture Breguet, was on hand to demonstrate the fine art of engraving, which has become a hallmark of the Breguet brand.

On display at the boutique for an exclusive preview were four historic pocket watches from the 18^th and 19^th centuries, previously on loan to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. All four watches were sold and used in the 1800s, however, three of them were designed in the late 1700s. They are all from the Breguet Museum in Paris, which houses more than 100 timepieces and items related to the history of the House of Breguet.
