Across continents and into and out of the hands of royalty, revolutionaries, smugglers, thieves, and the world's greatest tech engineers, was Marie Antoinette's watch, the "160" worth an estimated $40 million in today's dollars. Perhaps the most sought after personal technology device of the last 200 years, the timepiece, designed by the legendary Abraham-Louis Breguet, is the launching point for a thrilling and fluidly woven set of narratives that are, in part, forbidden love story, historical document, and police procedural.

Great Book, Narrator Needs Help
Revisado: 06-13-20
The story of the watch, the people (historic and contemporary) is great. It jumps around a bit but it’s very good. My only point of contention is the narrators ability to read French words. Watchmaking is a french language heavy industry and his mispronunciations throughout the book are hard to forgive.
