Breguet & Fils, No. 3291, Horloge Marine No. 2/V, escapement No. 53, sent to Ferey on 4 January 1822 for 2280 Francs including 120 Francs discount. Bought back and sold to M. Lamarche on 16 July 1822, for 2200 Francs. Notes This chronometer demonstrates Breguet's remarkable talent for approaching almost any branch of horology, from a completely new direction. Technically it is quite different from the work of his contemporaries; double barrels replacing the customary fusee, and the escapement mounted on a separate platform for easy removal and repair.
