The opening of the first international office in London
Even before Werner von Siemens founded "Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Siemens & Halske" in Berlin in 1847, he began marketing his inventions in the United Kingdom. As early as 1843, he sent his brother Wilhelm (officially William as of 1859) to London with instructions to patent an electrolytic method of gold and silver plating he had patented in Prussia. One year later, in 1844, Wilhelm settled permanently in London as a "civil engineer" and opened a sales agency for Siemens & Halske on March 16, 1850.
