Sammlung (collection) of Carl and Lini Nathan-Rupp "Die Kutschenuhren`" The Coach Watches). This catalogue can be aquired from "The Historisches Museum Basel" Nathan Rupp collected these watches over a long term of his life along with his wife Lini.In 1953 their whole collection was purchased by the museum in Basel. It consisted of 72 Longcased clocks 17 Bracket clocks, 22 Coach watches, and 132 wrist, neck, brest, and other pocket watches. The catalogue I have is of the Coach watches. The photographs below are of a coach-watch by Cabrier, London c1750.It is the only English watch that shows a movement. All 22 are shown and well photographed by Maurice Babey.
