ULTRA RARE 1 BUTTON CHRONOGRAPGH BY BREITLING NEVER
TOUCHED DIAL OR CASE, FULLY SERVCIED IMPECCABLE RARE PIECE 1940'S
SOLD ;-)
Henry Birks and Sons
With an investment of CAD- 3,000, in 1879
Henry Birks opened a small jewellery shop on
Saint Jacques Street in the heart of Montreal's
financial and commercial district. In 1893,
Birks went into partnership with his three sons
(William, John and Gerald) and the name of the
firm became Henry Birks and Sons. As the
focus of Montreal's commercial centre moved
northward towards Saint Catherine St, the Birks
store moved to new premises on Phillips Square
in 1894, where the company still maintains a
store and corporate offices.
Commencing in 1901, Birks oversaw the
expansion of the company across Canada, with
stores opening in the country's largest cities.
In some cases, it bought local jewellers, adding
its name to the local one. For instance the
Birks store in Toronto was Birks-Ryrie and the
one in Winnipeg was Birks-Dingwall. In 1953,
Henry Birks and Sons bought out Roden brother's
a company that produced silver hollowware,
flatware, cut crystal, and medals. In 1955, the
company successfully sued the City of Montreal
before the Supreme Court of Canada for forcing
it to close on Catholic holidays, in Henry
Birks and son's in Montréal
In 2007, Birks was named as the Official
Supplier of Jewellery for the 2010 winter
Olympic games in Vancouver. The Ottawa store on
Sparks Street became a source of gifts to
Official Parliamentary visitors during its
existence.

simple indeed. The back of this case is a stainless steel screw in with no
