With later fitted presentation box and a gilt and enamel key.
Abdülmecid I (Abdul Mejid I, Abd-ul-Mejid I or Abd Al-Majid I Ghazi), Constantinople 1823 - 1861, was the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1839 and 1861. Well educated, liberal minded, and the first sultan to speak French, Abdülmecid continued the reform program of his father, Mahmud II, restored Hagia Sophia, built the Dolmabahçe Palace and founded the first French theatre in Constantinople. His penchant for art is also reflected in his love for fine timepieces: a small number of watches signed by Courvoisier and embellished with his enamel portrait are known to exist, including an example in the famous Sir David Salomons Collection of Watches and Clocks, L.A. Mayer Museum for Islamic Art, Jerusalem, Inv. EW 5-70 (The Art of Time - The Sir David Salomons Collection of Watches and Clocks, L.A. Mayer Museum for Islamic Art. George Daniels and Ohannes Markarian, pp. 94 & 95).
