The Moscow company "Lorie" was founded by the jewellery and silverware manufacturer Fedor Anatolyevich Lorie (1858-1920) in 1871. In 1895 he opened a shop selling jewellery at Kuznetsky Bridge 4 (connected by the wall with Faberge's shop). In 1912 the company entered into a partnership with the employees of the Moscow branch of C. Faberge - Alexei Fedorovich Lemkul (in the 1900s head of the gold department) and Julio Guarneri, who worked with the sons Eugene and Alexander of C. Faberge in Paris. Perhaps F.A. Lorie carried out orders for C. Faberge, who controlled the production, marketing and assortment of the partnership. The company produced silverware, household goods and furnishings, a variety of frames for crystal and jewellery. For the jewellery they used enamel, which complemented the precious and decorative stones. In terms of style the products made by the company were characterized by a great variety - from the design of ornaments of Western European and Russian art of the 17th to 19th centuries to modern and neo-Russian styles (source: https://www.cortrie.de/go/dmN). now only: 2.000 €

The watchmaker Emil Reichard from Wesermünde attended the German Watchmaking School in Glashütte from 1926 to 1929. His large talent was obvious from the start, so that he was awarded a tuition fee exemption by the Georg Jacob Jubilee Foundation's in 1928 - a great honour, "it is only awarded to well qualified students or members who are entitled to become valuable forces for the watchmaking branch". On the original graduation certificate with very good grades are the signatures of the large Glashütte teachers Helwig, Giebel and Rommershausen. Regarding the practical work, it states: "Apart from the usual course work, he made the following from the raw materials himself: 1 Lever escapement model No. 3439, [...], 1 Glashütte lever watch No. 3492 [...], 1 Table chronometer No. 3605, size 53 mm with two-spring barrel for motion and escapement."

The experts in Geneva wrote about this watch at the time: "It is rare to find an unconverted Arnold escapement; it is even rarer to find one with such unusual compensation. In a regular compensation curb all parts are made fixed and are installed as such; they cannot be adjusted, and they either work correctly or do not. In this watch, the compensation can be adjusted by changing the point at which it acts on the regulator pin: the closer to the center, the greater the compensation, the farther away, the lesser the compensation. It seems that the present compensation was Arnold's answer to Earnshaw's sugar- tong compensation"! Hammerprice: 6.600 €

239-4092 Pocket watch: extremely rare and very unusual, especially heavy French pocket chronometer in English construction, Poitevin Paris No.6744, hallmarks 1879 Ca. Ø61mm, ca. 227g, high-quality silver case with London hallmarks from 1879, matching number with the movement, dome signed and numbered, additional case number 36198, very fine chronometer movement in manner of Earnshaw, spring detent escapement, plate signed Poitevin Paris, unusual helical hairspring, probably made of palladium, signed original and numbered enamel dial in perfect condition, extraordinary and very massive gold hands, in very good condition, intact. This chronometer is very interesting because it is signed by an important French chronometer maker in Paris, but the construction is completely English and the case has London hallmarks as well. It can therefore be assumed that the chronometer was made in England on behalf of Poitevin. Bernard Poitevin worked as a Parisian watch and chronometer maker between 1850 and 1900. He founded the company B. Poitevin & V. Lejeune. His shop was located in Rue Richelieu (1850) and Rue Vivienne 22 (1860-1900). Poitevin supplied quality watches, watches with complications, such as watches with striking mechanism, chronographs and 1st class chronometers with bulletin from the Geneva Observatory. now only: 3.000 €
