 rose to the rank of general-adjutant and later lieutenant-general in the s

 layed a prominent role in the Napoleonic campaigns and was closely associa
 ted with the Imperial court.\n\nThe date is geared to advance each day\, h
 owever\, as with most Breguet watches featuring a date indication\, there 
 is no dedicated slide or corrector for adjustment\; instead\, the owner wa
 s expected to advance the date manually\, when required\, using a wooden p
 eg.
