Bovet, a top watch brand from Switzerland, has an inexplicable bond with China. As early as 1822 (during the reign of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty), Edouard Bovet, the founder of Bovet, began selling expensive high-end Western clocks and watches to the princes and nobles of the Qing court, and Bovet soon became the favorite watch brand of China's wealthy.
The painted art favored by the royal family and aristocrats of the Qing Dynasty has always been deeply loved by the Chinese people both in ancient times and in today's society. In the early 19th century, Bovet came to China from Switzerland and founded a watch brand called "Bovet" in Guangzhou in 1822. It became a household name in Switzerland at the time and was deeply loved by the royal family and nobles of the Qing Dynasty. Li Hongzhang, a minister of the Qing Dynasty, was a fan of Bovet.
This is a vintage Bovet Chronograph from 1940s. What is interesting about this watch is that it has the highly sought after salmon dial. The watch is powered by a rare Bovet Landeron 51 cam-driven lateral clutch movement. The watch shall need to be thoroughly clean and service.
