Eduard Koehn was born in Germany in 1839, the son of Karl Koehn, purveyor to the court of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. He studied at the watchmaking school in Geneva from 1859. He then began working as a junior watchmaker at Patek Philippe in 1861 and was appointed director after 15 years. In 1891, Edouard Koehn acquired the firm H.R. Ekegren. The commitment to quality that he had acquired during his many years at Patek Philippe was later reflected in the products he designed and manufactured himself.
