Notes

Tenshodo Founded in 1879. "Tenshodo" has been dealing with watches, jewelries and railroad models from 1888 in Ginza, Tokyo. From 1913 it appointed as the agent of Uylsse Nardin, Zenith and Tissot, and marine Chronometer clocks that made by Ulysse Nardin have been delivered to the Japanese Navy by "Tenshodo". Therefore "Tenshodo" became known as the representative of Uylsse Nardin in Japan. Stainless steel, open-face, keyless-winding, round-shaped, pocket watch, hinged case-back, subsidiary seconds at 6, made for the Japanese market.
