Footnotes
- Edouard Koehn (1839 1908) rose from watchmaker to partner in the firm Patek Philippe. He left the firm in 1891 to make watches under his own name and that of H. R. Ekegren. Not surprisingly, his work is of the same high quality. He made many watches for Tiffany, New York and others for J. E. Caldwell, Philadelphia, under the name Ekegren.
