alw Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Quote: A gold and rock crystal pocket watch made for the French queen Marie Antoinette by the famed watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, one of the items returned after Israeli police detectives have cracked a legendary clock heist at a Jerusalem museum after a 25-year search. The 1983 theft saw 106 clocks worth millions of dollars disappear from the L.A. Mayer Museum for Islamic Art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's an incredible find, but I don't know if Breguet are that happy. It seems like they enjoyed milking the mysterious disappearance of this particular watch when recounting their corporate history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
