With the end of the war, hundreds of American troops are returning each day. Large crowds turned out this past weekend to welcome returning F-15 pilots of the 1st Tactical Fighter Wing based at Langley Air Force base in Hampton. The scene at Langley was repeated across the country as men and women from all branches of the military came home to open arms.

The adjoining galleries also explore aspects of collecting. Room 1: Enlightenment tells the story of how, in the early Museum, objects and knowledge were gathered and classified.

  • Breguet Watches to Come to the Market in a Generation
    For Immediate Release 12 April 2012 Contact: Cristiano de Lorenzo +44 7500 815 344 / +44 207 389 2283 [email protected] REDISCOVERY CHRISTIE’S TO OFFER THE MOST IMPORTANT BREGUET WATCHES TO COME TO THE MARKET IN A GENERATION To be offered in the Christie's auction of ‘Important Watches’ Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, Geneva Monday 14 May, at 2pm Geneva - On 14 May 2012 Christie's will offer for sale the most important antique watches by Breguet seen at auction in a generation. Recently-discovered and previously unrecorded publicly, they have surfaced from the private collection of a European noble family and were created by the hands of Abraham- Louis Breguet (1747-1823). The revolutionary master and founder of Breguet only produced some 4,500 pieces during his lifetime, the majority of which are kept in the most prestigious private collections or in museums. The most spectacular example is a gold precision watch with two movements, signed Breguet et Fils, no. 2667, which was sold in August 1814 to a Mr. Garcias of London for the sum of 5,000 francs; the watch is now offered with an estimate of SFr.800,000-1,400,000 (US$890,000-1,600,000 / €670,000-1,200,000); illustrated left and below right. Aurel Bacs, Head of Christie's Watch Department: “It is an extraordinary and rare occasion when a watch created by the legendary Abraham-Louis Breguet comes to the market. Having two Breguet masterpieces considered to be key milestones in the history of horology in the same sale is simply unique.

    A Monster for Our Times: Reading Sade across the Centuries Matthew Bridge Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Matthew Bridge All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A Monster for Our Times: Reading Sade across the Centuries Matthew Bridge This doctoral dissertation looks at several readings and interpretations of the works of the Marquis de Sade, from the eighteenth century to the present. Ever since he was imprisoned under the Old Regime following highly publicized instances of physical and sexual abuse, Sade has remained a controversial figure who has been both condemned as a dangerous criminal and celebrated as an icon for artistic freedom. The most enduring aspect of his legacy has been a vast collection of obscene publications, characterized by detailed descriptions of sexual torture and murder, along with philosophical diatribes that offer theoretical justifications for the atrocities. Not surprisingly, Sade’s works have been subject to censorship almost from the beginning, leading to the author’s imprisonment under Napoleon and to the eventual trials of his mid-twentieth-century publishers in France and Japan. The following pages examine the reception of Sade’s works in relation to the legal concept of obscenity, which provides a consistent framework for textual interpretation from the 1790s to the present. I begin with a prelude discussing the 1956 trial of Jean-Jacques Pauvert, in order to situate the remainder of the dissertation within the context of how readers approached a body of work as quintessentially obscene as that of Sade.

  • Classique Double Tourbillon 5345Quai De L'horloge
    CLASSIQUE DOUBLE TOURBILLON 5345 QUAI DE L’HORLOGE This new model blends mechanical virtuosity with aesthetic mastery: entirely exhibited, the movement reveals two tourbillons that set the whole plate in motion through a central differential. Each component is hand-finished, while the back of the movement is engraved with the “House on the Quai”, the Parisian building where Abraham-Louis Breguet fulfilled his life’s work. The new Classique Double Tourbillon Quai de l’Horloge model houses a monumental movement in the proportions of a watch. Working with very limited space, the Breguet Manufacture has built a complex and harmonious universe that seemingly defies the laws of physics. Like a delicately chased sculpture, the entire exposed mechanism pivots around its axis at the rate of one full turn every 12 hours. It is propelled by two independent tourbillons, which each complete a full rotation per minute. In this way, the interconnected regulating organs perform a double revolution, simultaneously driving the tourbillon bar: the signature hours hand. It is a remarkable display, featuring a number of components made of gold, as were those of grand complication movements back in their day – a tradition that has now been all but lost; one that the House of Breguet endeavors to perpetuate, as it does its specialist artisan techniques. This watch is a stunning display of Breguet’s expert craftsmanship – in particular the engraving on the back, which depicts the house that Abraham-Louis Breguet acquired on Quai de l’Horloge in Paris. The Invention to Endure throughout the Centuries Indeed, it was at this inspiring address, nestled between the artisans of the Ile de la Cité, that the master watchmaker invented the mechanism that would become globally renowned and endure throughout the centuries.
