專家說明

The Swedish watchmaker August Ericsson (1842-c1910) opened a flourishing workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia around 1875. He supplied a large part of the marine chronometers to the Imperial Navy, generally using movements made by the renowned chronometer maker Victor Kullberg, also a Swede. After August's death his son Alexander continued the business.

The chronometer maker Victor Kullberg (1824-1890) set up business in England in 1856 and specialized in highly precise pocket and marine chronometers which often excelled at the Greenwich Observatory contests.

The case of the present watch was supplied by Fred Thoms, renowned for his high quality cases which he supplied to the best English watchmakers.
