 nvolvement with Henri (or Henry) Capt & Cie began around 1880. The highly 
 respected watchmaking firm Henry Capt was originally established by Henry 
 Daniel Capt in 1819. Some years later\, Henry Capt Jr. joined the business
 \, developing it further in partnership with Louis Gallopin\, who acted as
  his proxy. In 1893\, Louis Gallopin became the sole proprietor of the fir
 m. Louis’s son\, Edward Gallopin\, later joined the company\, followed i
 n turn by his own son\, John Gallopin\, in 1925. In 1961\, Daniel Gallopin
 \, great-grandson of Louis Gallopin\, began working for the firm\, continu
 ing the family’s long horological tradition.\n\nThe house maintained a c
 lose relationship with Mr. Olmsted\, as evidenced by correspondence dating
  from 1962\, which reflects his continued interest in and support of E. Ga
 llopin & Cie. For related letter correspondence concerning timepieces prod
 uced by the firm\, see No. 31029.
