Unluckily for Breguet, relations between Napoleon and the Czar had considerably deteriorated, and in the spring of 1811 Moreau was obliged to flee Russia, with no time to pack up his furnishings or even his material.
Breguet was very close to John Arnold, the famous English chronometer maker, as well as to Arnold’s son John Roger.
Breguet’s personal warmth gained him a network of close friends who helped him to overcome the many difficulties he encountered over the course of his long career.
Abraham Louis Breguet was born in 1747 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
On a commercial level, Breguet was known and highly regarded at all European courts and became the watchmaker of reference for diplomatic, scientific, military and financial elites.
The latter part of Breguets life was prosperous and marked by numerous tokens of recognition: he became a member of the Board of Longitude and Horologer to the French Royal Navy.
