A service report by Lange & Söhne in Glashütte, dating from 1907, states that this watch originally belonged to the senior civil servant Nussbaum in Offenburg, the Black Forest. Emil Nussbaum was born on June 29, 1855, in Offenburg; from 1883, he worked as a jurist and head official for the government of Baden in a position similar to today’s district administrator. He died on August 20, 1936 in Freiburg im Breisgau. Unfortunately, the reason why Princess Amelie of Fürstenberg ordered this complicated chronograph with engraved dedication for Nussbaum from watchmaker Dover in Donaueschingen in 1887 is not known.

Princess Amelie of Fürstenberg, Duchess of Ratibor and Corvey, was born on February 12, 1821 in Donaueschingen. She was the daughter of Prince Carl Egon of Fürstenberg. The princess married Prince Viktor I of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, and the couple had nine children. Princess Amelie was a strong patron of the Badischer Frauenverein (Women’s Association of Baden) and the children’s saline bath in Donaueschingen in particular. The princess died on January 17, 1899, at the monastery in Rauden, Poland (today’s Rudy).
