Broken Dial, Barely Working Breguet Watch from 1859 Makes for a Daunting Restoration!

Marshall gets to work on a watch made by Breguet, the company started by Abraham-Louis Breguet — considered by many to be the greatest watchmaker in history — in the years after his death. The owner of this watch traced its history back to his great-great-grandmother who last had it serviced by Breguet in 1866! With a broken dial and mostly in non-running condition, Marshall restores this beautiful vintage watch.

This was a fascinating video to watch! I actually inherited two pocket watches, which I had no interest in until I saw this video, so I dug them out. One is a run-of-the-mill Waltham, but the other is a bit more mysterious. It appears to be a Hebdomas 8-jours with a visible escapement. There are no manufacturer's markings, but this is what I've concluded by looking online. It is not running, nor do I really know the family history behind it. My grandmother had a number of items that belonged to uncles and cousins, so my guess is that it was something from one of them. It's a beautiful watch, but not as ornate as some of the Hebdomas watches I've seen online.
