Footnotes
In the early 1870's, Tiffany built a state of the art watch factory in Geneva to produce high grade watches. It operated briefly before it was sold to Patek Phillipe who agreed to supply watches to Tiffany. Huber and Banbery, fig. 154 illustrate a hunter cased Patek Philippe chronograph employing the same design.
