The thieves who robbed Paris' Louvre museum on Sunday made off with eight priceless objects, with a ninth that they tried to steal recovered at the scene, Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau said. The thieves did not target or steal the world-famous Regent diamond,

The necklace from the sapphire set of Queen Marie-Amélie and Queen Hortense, made up of eight sapphires and 631 diamonds, as well as the tiara of Empress Eugénie, featuring nearly 2,000 diamonds, were among the items stolen by a gang of four thieves who entered through a window.

The crew of chainsaw-wielding thieves who brazenly robbed The Louvre of priceless jewels in the highest-profile museum theft in living memory may have been hired by a collector, officials said.

La Quête du Temps is only on loan to the Louvre and eventually will be added to the Vacheron Constantin archive, but the brand has introduced a 43-millimeter, double-sided wristwatch, called the Métiers d’Art “Tribute to the Quest of Time,” in a limited edition of 20 (price on application).
