More information

Henri-Louis and Philippe Auguste Courvoisier founded the company "Courvoisier Frères" in 1842, which later changed its name to "Courvoisier Fils". The company specialised in manufacturing high-quality watches, including an ultra-slim model that was considered at the time to be the world's thinnest watch. This watch was commissioned by the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds as a gift to Wilhelm IV, King of Prussia.

The tourbillon mechanism in this watch was invented and patented by the watchmaker Paul Loichot from Charquemont in France. By inverting the movement, he enabled the balance and escapement to be viewed through the dial, while the escapement was placed in a straight line. The design was patented as Swiss patent no. 30754 in 1905 and registered the same year, on July 4, under the trademark "Mobilis" by Courvoisier Frères.
