This watch demonstrates the strong influence of Breguet on one of the best Parisian makers of his time, although he was not his pupil. This watch can be compared with the best quality of those produced by the eminent maker. In fact, only few rnonlres a foci were produced by other makers during Breguet's life and even after his death. Most of the rare examples which were not made by one of his pupils, such as Charles Oudin, carry the signature of Charles Le Roy. Apart from the highly decorative watches, made by Breguet for the Islamic Market on the advice of his friend All Effendi, the Ambassador of Turkey in Paris, he also produced gold and enamel, pearl or diamond-Ref monlres a lad namely for those clients of his who were fond of highly decorative watches enhanced with enamel and precious stones. Such watches, less austere in appearance than Breguet's usual production, although the decorative elements remained largely hmnctional, enjoyed a certain success despite their high price. Virtually every member of the Bonaparte. family owned at least one example.
