In 1880, Pavel Buhre was an appraiser under the Cabinet of His Imperial Majesty, a technician at the Imperial Hermitage, a supplier of the Supreme Court since 1879 and a merchant of the 1st guild since 1884. In the last 30 years before the revolution, the firm became that “Pavel Buhre”, without which it is inconceivable to talk about the history of Russian watchmaking. To expand business, a store was opened in Moscow, and then in Kiev. In 1899 the company was awarded the title of Supplier of the Imperial Court.
