Footnotes

Selon les informations du vendeur, cette montre fut offerte par Lidia Bugatti, comtesse de Boigne, à Robert Cornier, le collectionneur bien connu de Bugatti et de Voisin, lorsqu'il s'entendit avec Serge Pozzoli pour vendre l'avion Bugatti de la comtesse, alors qu'il était entreposé dans les garages du Château d'Ermononville à proximité de la Bugatti Royale coupé Napoléon de celle-ci. Cornier conserva la montre jusque dans les années 1970, puis la vendit à un collectionneur du Sud de la France. La montre circula ensuite entre différentes collections, dont celle de Michel Courtonne, avant que celui-ci ne la cède en 2011 à son actuel propriétaire.

According to information supplied by the vendor, this watch was presented by Lidia Bugatti (The Countess de Boigne) to Robert Cornier, the noted Bugatti and Voisin collector, when he arranged with Serge Pozzoli to sell her Bugatti aeroplane that was being stored in the garages of Chateau d'Ermenonville next to her Bugatti Royale coupe Napoleon. Cornier kept the watch until the 1970s when he sold it to a collector in the South of France. The watch then passed through several collections including Michel Courtonne before it was purchased from him by the current owner in 2011.
