Antique Paul Buhre gun metal pocket watch.

The watch has a good quality stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover upon which are the words ПАВЕЪ БУРЕ ПОСТАВЩИКЪ ДВОРА ЕГО ВЕЛИЧЕСТВА which roughly translates as Paul Buhre, official supplier of the Imperial Court, this meant that he was also permitted to use the state coat of arms as seen here. Holders of the title of Official Supplier of the Imperial Court were required to participate in all provincial exhibitions organised by the Ministry of Finance for eight years, and to remain free of customer complaints. In the case of this particular watch, there is some marking to this inner cover from where it has been opened in the past.

Pavel Buhre was one of the first watch companies in Europe. The company was founded by a Russian business man of German descent, Karl Buhre. The company was originally based in St Petersburg and in 1874 Pavel Buhre bought a factory in Le Locle, Switzerland. He received orders from the Imperial Court to for watches which were to be presented by the emperor to officials for distinguished public service, foreign diplomats and prominent figures of culture. Buhre watches were also given as bonuses to officers and non-commissioned officers in the Russian army.

Pavel Buhre watches were awarded top prizes at many national and international exhibitions, including silver and gold medals at World’s Fairs in Paris in 1889 and 1900.

This particular watch measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is gun metal and it is in good condition. The case back has beautiful rose gold detail, possibly initials but difficult to decipher.

The watch glass is in good condition.

The white enamel dial is signed Павелъ Буре (Paul Buhre) and it is in good condition with just one short faint hairline beneath the subsidiary seconds dial. Blued steel pin-set hands and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
