" Abraham Louis Breguet was the most famous watchmaker of his time, a man 

 of rare attainments and inventive genius. The silver back of this watch has been 

 taken from a much eariier piece, as Cochin was a famous silversmith who worked 

 between the years 1660 and 1680. 



2« Many of the watches made by this workman were contained in exceedingly 

 plain cases as he was always willing to conform to the wishes of his customers in 

 regard to cases.
