Notes

Beyer In 1875 Chronométrie Beyer, a watch retailer, was one of the first businesses to move to the fashionable Bahnhofstrasse, to the newly built Petit Palais du Credit Suisse. When the bank needed more space in 1927, they asked Julius Beyer, the 5th generation of the Beyer family, to move, and Chronométrie Beyer moved to its present address at 31 Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. In 2003, Antiquorum was chosen to organize the sale of the Private Collection of Theodor Beyer.
