Habsburg Antiquorum Geneva Auktion Sunday 14 April 1991

Aus dem Netz:
"The Habsburg auction book from Geneva 1991. A mammoth 479 pages is a Breguet resource in its own right!"

"A good record of many fine clocks and watches. A lavish and permanent record of some of Breguet's most wonderful work, and influential customers"

"Thematic auction book wherein 204 watches and clocks are pictured, priced and discussed in detail. Decent biography. Collection sold for over $12 million.
This is the book of the important 1991 auction of Breguet timepieces held at the Hotel des Bergues, Geneva, Switzerland, with the items viewed in eleven cities around the world, including London, New York, Tokyo, Hongkong, Singapore, and Qatar during the four months before the sale.
This beautifully printed and bound hardcover volume contains extensive descriptions and some histories of the items offered.
It's a great Breguet reference book, and I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in the vintage pieces by Breguet.
Excellent information can found in watch catalogs as watch manufacturers usually provide detailed information on a particular model or their entire line.
The hardcover catalogue counts among the definitive Breguet reference books. Many images, biographies of famous (and infamous) clients of Breguet, and fold-out pages make this a trove of historical and technical information about the magnificent Abraham-Louis Breguet, his company and its patrons.
An outstanding work of reference on the timepieces and their illustrious previous owners, original bookmark attached by silk ties.

Abraham-Louis Breguet or Bréguet (10 January 1747 - 17 September 1823)
