Inspired by the legendary ‘Souscription’ of the 1800s, the concept is the same as today’s tailor-made, a business model that can only be produced after a prepayment is required to reach a contract. The design of Breguet’s ‘Souscription’ was more favored by the emerging elites after the French Revolution, including politicians, military strategists, and bankers. The most famous was French politician Talleyrand-Perigord ( Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, 1754-1838). In addition, the ‘Souscription’ highlights one of Breguet’s most important inventions: the ‘parachute suspension’. Breguet developed this device in 1790 to protect the balance wheel from vibration damage. The ‘parachute-type shock absorber’ is the pioneer of all modern shock absorbers and one of Breguet’s most important inventions. Carrying a heritage of history and culture.
