"Revolutions and Their Repercussions: A few notes concerning Messrs. Paul Buhre S.A., Le Locle" - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1950 Swiss magazine. Text in the article is in English.

The opening sentences of the article read:

"Until the time of the First World War watches bearing the trade mark of the best Swiss factories were appreciated in all parts of the vast Russian Empire. They enjoyed such a reputation that they formed the object of rewards offered by the Government to officers and soldiers of the Army of the Tzar."

Also quoted from the article:

"It is not possible to evoke such souvenirs without one name coming immediately to mind: Paul Buhre. In the beginning of the 19th century, Paul Leopold Buhre had a watch retail shop in St. Petersburg. His son Paul, a professional watchmaker, also loved fine movements. He was accustomed to go to Switzerland personally in order to pass orders. His professional honesty and his relations with the official Russian circles endowed him with the envied title of Official Purveyor to the Tzar."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

The article is 2 pages in length (on 2 sheets of paper) and includes a few small black and white images within the text.

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
