OFF TOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY

Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. This is a real sweet timepiece and a little larger than most from this era. It measures a millimeter or two larger and feels bigger too because of the narrow bezel and large diameter pink dial (refinished). It has large beefy lugs and looks fantastic overall. The signed snap back covers a signed hand wound Swiss made movement and this case is also reinforced with metal to help beef up the watch which feels good in the hand and on the wrist. The firm "Manufacture des Montres Paul Buhre SA" opened a small shop in St. Petersburg Russia in 1815. Paul Leopold Buhre along with other Swiss watchmakers (Courvoiser and Cie and Tissot) was attracted to the area by Catherine II's efforts to start a watch and clock factory.  Buhre's main factory was located in Le Locle Switzerland. It expanded rapidly from its trade in Russia and by 1945 was touting 300 observatory prizes including Neuchatel and Breguet competitions. The firm continued through the 1970's with ads listing marine and wrist chronometers. If you think our price for this 14k pink gold watch is high, please check Farfo.com where a chrome plated model is listed at $399! A nice new Hadley Roma 835 Gator Tail style dark brown leather strap is included. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$445} Item #3825 SOLD WP
