Edouard Koehn (1839 - 1908) was clockmaker to the court of the Grand Duchy of
Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. He moved to Geneva in 1859 where he was an employee
and later a director of Patek Philippe. In 1891 he took over the firm of Robert
Ekegren which was known for the manufacture of extra flat and complicated watches.
