A LITTLE HISTORY: Pavel Bure (Paul Buhre or Павел Буре in Russian) The history of Buhre Watch Company began in 1815 in Saint Petersburg. It was established by Carl Buhre. Later his son Paul started to assist the farther with watches and after some time he took the family's business in his hands. In 1874 Paul Buhre acquired a large watch factory in one of Swiss watch industry centres Le Locle. In 1899 Trade House "Pavel Bure " was honoured a title "supplier of emperor court". From 1887 to 1917 the office of Their Majesty bought about 15 000 watches. More than 80 % were with "Pavel Bure" logo. In the beginning of last century Paul Buhre watches were so popular, that in many stories about the Russian life the watches and chronographs, carriage and wall clocks, alarm clocks and gold repeaters "from Bure" were mentioned as a sign of that epoch. When the watches moved from the category of luxury to necessity, Paul Buhre company met it on a good position. For rich customers the complicated movements (repeaters, chronographs, calendars) were ordered from Swiss firms and in 1916 Buhre company obtained a Swiss patent for a chronograph of their own development. Pavel Bure watches were honoured the highest rewards on national and international exhibitions, including the World exhibitions in Paris (in 1889 -a silver medal, 1900 - a gold one). During the First World War wrist watches became more popular and called 'Trench watches' as many officers required more comfortable way to wear watches than pocket ones.g. PAYMENT: I accept PAYPAL.
