Louis George was a Prussian master watchmaker of the late baroque era. Louis George was a descendant of French Huguenots living in Berlin in the third generation. Louis George produced mainly daedal watches. Reported makes are: pocket watches, nautical clocks, mechanical odometer, console clocks, long case clocks, dead second watches. ==Working period== On the 26 December 1769 Louis George applied for the patent as the royal watchmaker and succeeded. He was allowed to call himself from now on “Horloger du Roy” — in English, "watchmaker to the king". French was the language of the Berlin nobility. The literature on Louis George reports different working periods. The writer Gerhard Koenig states in his book a working period from 1769 to 1796. The address calendar of Berlin lists the Louis George in the editions of the years 1799 and 1801. The addresses of Louis George's workshops mentioned at the Berlin ''Adresskalender'' are ''Schlossplatz 10'' and ''13'' (in 1799) and ''Schlossplatz 10'' in (1801), right opposite the Stadtschloss (city palace) of Berlin. Starting in 1815 ''Louis George et compagnie'' produced lever pocket watches, most probably a son of the royal watchmaker. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis George」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
