Dear hobby:
How are you in London? Liv and I miss you very much, Lizzy and William. Are these two little guys obedient?
The situation in France is not very good. Luxembourg surrendered, the Netherlands also announced to give up resistance, the damn * * * has begun to enter the French border, and it is said that the situation on the front line is not very good. Liv and I were worried about whether the French soldiers could resist the imperial tanks.
A few days ago, the German plane crossed the line and flew over Paris. Although it was soon driven away by the heroic French Air Force soldiers, Liv and I thought it was not a good thing. Now there are many rumors in Paris that the Germans will come soon. I'm afraid Paris won't be able to keep it at that time.
Sorry, I shouldn't have told you these things to worry you. But without saying this, I don't know what to say to you.
Liv and I have decided to go to see you by boat next week. We just don't know if we can buy a ticket. It is said that the German forward has reached the Lille front line. If there is no reinforcements, it is really difficult for French soldiers and British soldiers to resist German tanks. Therefore, we must leave Paris. Liv, I and the children don't want to lose our lives in Paris.
Well, not to mention these sad things, let's say something happy.
Hobby, do you remember our distant cousin Lewis? Yes, it's Lewis in Switzerland. He is now a very well-known watchmaker. At the beginning of this year, I specially entrusted Patek Philippe company to ask him to specially produce a watch with two functions of world time zone and pulse meter for me. You know, I am a loyal user of Patek Philippe, so I can directly entrust Patek Philippe to customize a watch for me. I use that watch very well. Now I always wear it with me.
But while making that watch, I also asked him to make a world time watch for me. Lewis has made one of these watches last year. I've seen that watch. It's very beautiful, so I personally entrusted him to make another one for me. Although I didn't pass the entrustment of Patek Philippe, Lewis still obtained the private authorization of Mr. Stein, the current boss of Patek Philippe, and made the watch for me in the name of Patek Philippe.
This watch was also sent last month. It's great. It's great. But now I can't leave the watch I've been wearing. There's a pulse meter on the watch, which is very convenient, so I'm going to mail this watch to you. I hope you like it!
Love your brother, Pierre

This is the first stationery. There are two stationery below. When Yang Jing opened the second stationery, he found that the ink on the two stationery was different. Obviously, the two stationery were not written on the same day.
The letter that I just finished reading is written in blue ink, and the second letter is written in black ink.
Dear hobby:
I have to say I'm sorry, Liv and the children, I'm afraid we can't go to London to find you.
The situation in France has become very bad. I didn't expect that the whole northern France has been completely eroded in less than a few days. French soldiers and troops from Britain have been surrounded by German tanks in a small area near the sea. God, has God abandoned us?
The German striker has arrived in the suburbs of Paris. Now Paris can hear the rumble of guns and the roar of German planes every day.
I don't know how long France can resist, but the situation is really critical. All the letters I sent you last week were returned. The British submarine has blocked the English channel, and the letters can't be freely mailed between Britain and France.
Now there are few ships off the coast of France, so we can't cross the English channel to Britain by boat. Liv and I are going to leave Paris with our children and hide in the south of France.
Also, the watch made by cousin Lewis was hidden in the base of the clock by me.
Remember the hiding game we played when we were young? If you remember, you can find this watch and, of course, these two letters. In other words, when you see these two letters, you have found it.
My neighbor is a French naval officer. He will go to Dunkirk tomorrow. I looked for him yesterday. He said he could bring me something to England, so I'm going to give him this clock to take it to you.
I hope you can receive this clock.
Also, you must remember that the watch is worth your serious collection. I hope I can see it on your wrist when we meet again.
Love your brother, Pierre Alphonse

As for the third stationery, it more directly proves the origin of this watch, because this stationery is a letter personally written by master cotier to the doctor in Paris.
Dear Pierre
I have received your letter. To be honest, I was a little embarrassed at first. However, after I told Mr. Chris stein of Patek Philippe about this, Mr. Stein readily agreed to my request. He said he would personally authorize me to make you a platinum world time watch and use Patek Philippe's trademark. But Mr. Stein also made it clear that this is the only one.
So, my dear cousin, I can make this watch for you soon, and when you see this letter, this watch should have been placed in front of you.
......
The third letter was written by master cotier to his cousin, that is, the doctor in Paris. In addition to explaining the origin of the watch, there were also some common words. At the end of the letter, there was the name of Lewis cotier.
After reading these three pieces of stationery, Yang Jing took a breath and picked up her mobile phone to check. Only then did she finally determine the true origin of this watch.
Obviously, Pierre Alphonse, who wrote these two letters, is the Paris doctor who once entrusted Patek Philippe to let master cotier make the watch with two functions of world time zone and pulse meter.
It did happen. In 1940, Patek Philippe asked master cotier to make a watch with two functions of world time zone and pulse meter at the request of an old customer.
What Yang Jing didn't expect was that the doctor was still a cousin to master cotier. Therefore, the doctor was able to let master cotier privately make another Patek Philippe platinum world time men's watch ref-1415-hu for him.
Master cotier could not bear to refuse his cousin's request. He made this watch for the doctor in Paris after asking Mr. Chris Stein, the boss of the Stein brothers, a Swiss watchmaker who bought Patek Philippe in 1932.
No wonder Patek Philippe didn't have the record of this watch. At that time, Mr. Chris Stein only authorized cotier privately. Even Patek Philippe doesn't want to offend the watchmaker like cotier. If you can meet the requirements of this watchmaker as much as possible.
Later, Chris Stein may have forgotten this thing or the authorization in Patek Philippe, so this watch did not appear in Patek Philippe's official records.
But even if there is no record, it is impossible to deny the true identity of this watch. After all, the presence of these three stationery is enough to prove that this watch is absolutely rooted and Miao red. Of course, if you include the certificate wrapped together and signed by master Lewis cotier, the identity of this watch is definitely not gone.
Moreover, it could be seen from the three letters that Pierre Alphonse wanted to give the watch to his brother, hobby in London.
As a result, it was obviously not a good time.
The first letter was written on May 18, 1940, and the Dunkirk retreat that shocked the world took place on May 26 of that year.
The doctor originally wanted to wait a few days before taking a boat to Britain. As a result, Britain and France were preparing for the Dunkirk retreat. At that time, it was impossible to take a boat to Britain, because at that time, all the ships gathered in Dunkirk, and there was no passenger ship for ordinary people. Even if there were ships, no ship dared to go to sea at the risk of being sunk by German planes.
At that time, the bottom of the English Channel was dominated by British submarines, but the sky was occupied by German fighters and bombers.
After discovering this fact, the doctor wrote a second letter to his brother, hid the three letters and the watch in the base of the clock, and entrusted his neighbor who was an officer in the French navy to send the clock to England.
According to the doctor's letter, as long as his brother receives the clock, his brother will be able to find the watch and the three letters according to the hiding game they played when they were children.
As a result, I don't know why, the clock was not sent to London. Maybe the officer was captured by the Germans on the way to Dunkirk, or maybe something else happened. Anyway, the clock finally stayed in France. I don't know how it was collected by Jean Armand, the old head of the watch shop, and finally cheaper myself!
PS: bow and thank "Ziyan Tianjiao" and "see others in the light" for their 100 rewards!
