His son, Edouard Bovet, completed a watchmaking apprenticeship there and moved to London soon after. In 1818, Edouard was dispatched to Canton, China to repair watches there. Bovet started his namesake business in 1822 with his father and two brothers, forming a triangle between London, Canton, and Fleurier. The company was organized as Bovet Fr res et Cie in 1840 with a value of over CHF 1 million. Bovet flourished as Neuch tel became independent, and the Chinese watch trade continued. Edouard Bovet died in 1848, and his heirs lost interest in watchmaking. The company was sold to Leuba Fr res in Paris in 1901, briefly returned to the Bovet family in the 1930's, and ceased operations in 1950. Bovet's Biel movement operations were absorbed by Ebauches SA in 1928. PAYMENT: Payment should be made within 4 days. SHIPPING: Shipping WORLDWIDE with Standard International Air Mail.
