Dent often retailed watches from other makers. Nicole Nielsen manufactured for many of the eminent watchmaking firms in the second half of the 19th Century. Some were also retailed in other countries such as Australia and America, Tiffany’s being one of their principal customers. Adolphe Nicole took out the patent for keyless winding in 1844.
