He then began working as a simple watchmaker at Patek Philippe in 1861 and was appointed director after 15 years. In 1891, Edouard Koehn acquired the firm H.R. Ekegren. The commitment to quality he had acquired during his many years at Patek Philippe was later reflected in the products he designed and manufactured himself. In 1892, he improved the retrograde display invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet, Swiss Patent No. 4746. Koehn became particularly well known for his very flat watches. The company also supplied watches to Tiffany & Co. Hammerprice: 5.000 €

Sold 287-4159 Pocket watch: unique, historically significant Cartier ‘Shutter’ gold/enamel minute repeater No. 3154 for the Tsar’s court, Paris 1818 Historically significant, very fine and slim pocket watch with minute repeater and shutter-covered dial, a unique and historically valuable gift manufactured by Cartier for the Russian imperial court under Nicholas II – with original red Cartier leather case featuring an embossed Russian double-headed eagle and extract from the archives! ca. Ø47mm, 66.5g, 18K gold, dial concealed by the ‘shutter mechanism’, opens via a button on the pendant, beneath which lies the signed, engine-turned dial; dial cover featuring a blue enamelled monogram ‘OHC’ (Otis H. Cutler), beneath which is an engraved presentation monogram ‘from H.P.D.’ (Henry Pomeroy Davison), engraved year 1919 beneath the pendant, the reverse featuring a central translucent red enamelled cross on a white ground, recessed slide for striking, pressed back, very fine bridge movement, 2 hammers, 2 gongs, gold-screw-mounted balance wheel, in superb condition and in working order. Records from the Cartier archives indicate that the watch was originally intended as a gift for a member of the Russian imperial family, prior to the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II and his entire family on 17 July 1918. The imperial family had close ties to the Russian Red Cross, a fact that was also reflected in the commission of the so-called “Red Cross Egg”; Fabergé created the egg, which features portraits of Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna and her two eldest daughters, in 1915. The egg is now part of the Lillian Thomas Pratt Collection at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Due to the Russian Revolution, the watch was never delivered and remained in Cartier’s inventory. The archives reveal that the initials “OHC” were applied in blue enamel on the instructions of Henry Pomeroy Davison, who purchased the watch on 13 May 1919. Henry Pomeroy Davison was a well-known figure in the world of high finance – he was a partner at JP Morgan Bank in New York and president of the American Red Cross. In the course of his work, he was on a mission to Russia in 1917 and travelled to France in the spring of 1919. There he acquired the Cartier watch and had it inscribed with the initials of his employee and confidant, Otis H. Cutler. The watch comes with the original Cartier extract from the archives, which confirms the authenticity of the original box bearing the Imperial Eagle.

Sold 287-4199 Pendant watch: significant, large, extremely rare astronomical pendant watch for the Oriental market, circa 1650 Ca. 77 x 57 mm, ca. 276 g, silver, oval verge movement with gut string, typical Ottoman pillars, steel balance wheel, no hairspring, astronomical dial with lunar calendar, day and month as well as moon phase, off-centre dial mounting, single-hand, movement intact, extremely rare. The shape of the case is very typical of the Oriental market; indeed, the unusual size is only found in pendant watches intended for the Orient. The maker was probably from Switzerland or Germany. A comparable example was auctioned in Geneva and fetched over 40,000 Swiss francs (https://www.cortrie.de/go/qAv). An almost identical case can be found on another simple pendant watch without complications, also auctioned in Geneva (https://www.cortrie.de/go/AeO), Hammerprice: 17.100 €
