====== 1892 ====== * [[Audemars Piguet]] already builds the world's first [[wristwatch]] with [[minute repeater]] and is thus far ahead of time, because the type of the [[wristwatch]] will win through only about 20 years later. * The Dane [[Bonniksen, Bahne|Bahne Bonniksen]], a great admirer of [[Abraham-Louis Breguet]], applies his invention of the [[carousel]] in London for a patent. This approach is a robust alternative to the [[tourbillon]] construction of Breguet, which also aims for the compensation of the influence of gravity.\\ [[Blancpain]] realizes the carousel for the first time in [[2008]] in its luxury wristwatch model [[Blancpain Carrousel Volant Une Minute]]. * The company [[Breitling]], founded by [[Breitling, Léon|Léon Breitling]] in [[1884]] in [[Saint-Imier]], relocates to [[La Chaux-de-Fonds]] in a newly built watch plant. * The brothers Christian and George Thiel start the production of [[pocket watch]]es in [[Ruhla]] (Germany) and thus lay the foundation of the city tradition as a city of watches. <- [[1891]] | [[1893]] -> {{tag>Year}}
