About Pavel Bure / Paul Buhre Watches Founded in the late 19th century, Pavel Bure quickly became one of Russia’s most prestigious watchmakers, earning the title “Supplier to the Imperial Court.” Known for their precision and craftsmanship, these timepieces were favored by nobility and collectors alike. In the early 20th century, the brand transitioned to the international market under the name Paul Buhre, continuing its tradition of fine Swiss watchmaking.
