Monogram EG on the caseback.

Émile Gillotin (1838–1909) was a French military officer and industrialist, who married Marie-Berthe Géliot, daughter of the prominent Vosges textile manufacturer Nicolas Géliot. Following his father-in-law’s death in 1873, Gillotin became director of the Géliot textile establishments at Plainfaing, in the Vosges. He played an important role in the management and development of the family’s industrial interests and was a prominent figure in the local community.
