During the mid 20th century many renowned European watch manufacturers exported finished movements in transport cases to the United States of America. Local jewellers such as for example Tiffany & Co. in New York for Patek Philippe or Charles William Schuman for Lange & Soehne would subsequently fit the movements into new cases to the taste of their customers.
