Dominique Nevier (Névir), Berlin, Court Watchmaker of the Prussian King Friedrich. Dominique Nevier was the son of the famous George Adolphe Névir and Court Watchmaker and supplier of Frederick the Great. After 40 years of building up the business, George Adolphe Névir handed it over to his employee B.F. Schunigk in 1803. Dominique Névir sold the company to Johannes Hartmann in 1856. The shop was considered one of the finest addresses in Berlin. According to research made so far, it seems to be the only known coach watch by Névir.

Technically this coach watch is a masterpiece of watchmaking art. Coach watches with this combination of complications are extremely rare. In addition, this piece has a particularly rare striking mechanism. It has four hammers and, unlike usual, strikes first the quarter hours and then the hours.
