From early childhood, the boy actively helped his father in the conduct of family affairs, thus, not only knowing the basics of entrepreneurial activity, but also acquired knowledge about the work of clock mechanisms, so that already in 1868 he became a companion of his father in the conduct of family affairs.

In 1888, Pavel Pavlovich became seriously ill and was removed from doing business. Without direct heirs, he decides to sell the factory in Switzerland to its direct manager, the Frenchman Paul Girard, as well as his ally, the Swiss, Jean-Georges (Georg) Pfund. The new owners of the factory, colleagues P. P. Bure become founders of the Pavel Bure Trading House, which already in 1892 opens its first own store in Moscow , and a little later - a branch in Kiev . In the same year, P. P. Bure dies before he reaches the age of 50, and Pfund receives the position of a full-time evaluator of watches and other mechanical products for His Majesty.
