Breguet Grand Opening of new Boutique in Bal Harbour - Interwatches.com Blog

We have announced the opening of Breguet’s fourth US Boutique at the end of last year. And on  Thursday, January 26th, Breguet and U.S Brand President Michael Nelson hosted the brand’s Grand Opening celebration at Bal Harbour Shops.

The Grand Opening celebration was followed by an intimate dinner at the newly opened St. Regis Bal Harbour. Mr. Stephane Aubert, master engraver for the Breguet Manufacture, 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 18th and 19th 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.

Attendees of the evening included Ambassador Hélio Vitor Ramos Filho, shoe designer, Lisa Pliner; philanthropist, Lea Black; fashion designer, Lei Marco; socialite Malinka Max; Bal Harbour Shops managing partner, Randy Whitman and wife as well as owner of Lifestyle Magazine, Gabriel Erem.
