Jaquet Droz "The Writer" Automata: Awesome Antique Android
Watch brands like to pump up their history a lot. This is especially true in Europe where with age comes legitimacy. It also helps when your history includes impressive things. A lot of today's watch brands that bear vintage names don't always have the most interesting histories. Much of them can be summed up as "man X did in fact make watches or clocks 150 - 200 years ago."
