Baron Georges Landau, born in the mid-1880s to a Russian mother and a Polish father, left St. Petersburg in 1905, settling in the South of France. He later married an Italian woman and resided near Florence. He passed away in the early 1970s. The watch has been passed down to the current owner through inheritance.
