Not present in any literature or advertising and produced only during 3 years from 1959 to 1962 in 1061 pieces (even less than the later Polaris made in 1714 examples), it was marketed as not only the first diving wristwatch by Jaeger Lecoultre but also as the first diving watch with mechanical alarm. While the US edition (featuring a different dial configuration with baton indexes) and only signed LeCoultre, this particular Deep Sea Alarm is the much rarer European version signed Jaeger LeCoultre featuring triangular indexes and made in only about 200 examples overall. Recently discovered in an abandoned convenience store in France, the example has been left in as found condition featuring a beautiful tropical brown dial.

With the success of scuba diving worldwide, it was in 1957 that Breitling launched their dive watches, one time only such as this example (reference 1004) and its chronograph counter-part (reference 807). Measuring 40 mm with the large rotating bezel to record dive times and iconic hands, it is without a doubt the most collectible dive watch ever made by Breitling.

Never offered at auction before this example of reference 145.012 has the exotic racing dial much appreciated by collectors. Known as the red Racing dial due to its colourful accents on the outer track, it appears that all these examples were delivered to Switzerland retailers as confirmed by the extract from the archives. Featuring the straight white hand for the chronograph, these Pre-Professional versions are extremely rare and so far only about a dozen examples are known to the public.

Made in celebration of the firm’s 150th anniversary, it was logical that they produced a limited edition Jubilee Portuguese replicating the original from the 1940’s. From the oversize 42 mm case, to the dial, the embossed Arabic numerals to the feuille hands, it could only be a huge success. IWC indicates that many of the original owners of the Portuguese back in the 40’s had transparent backs made so they could admire the original movement which is a feature they fitted on the limited edition watch. Made in 250 pieces in platinum, 500 pieces in pink gold and 1000 in steel.

Signature Maker’s mark DH on the movement
Nicolas, son of Abraham, and grandson of Simon. Born in Blois in 1637, he was received as master at faubourg SaintGermain-des-Pres circa 1660, and in Paris on 5 June 1675. He was Garde Visiteur from 1676-1678 and 1684-1686, and Clockmaker to Monsieur le Dauphin before 1674. Established in the rue de Bussy in 1682 with Baltazar Martinot II, he organised a grand lottery of docks etc at Court in 1695, and also worked with l’Abbé Hauteville with a view to producing 8-day watches. He died in 1719. The theme chosen to decorate the pierced border of the case is apparently unknown on French watches, and somewhat bizarre, instead of the usual animals and birds, either of the mythological or hunting variety, all are creatures associated with the night, or indeed witchcraft. They include: a monkey, a rat, a raves, a bat with spread wings (at 6 o’clock), a snail and a mouse, with a lion’s mask beneath the pendant. The interspersed foliage is typical for the period, but as no other comparable case is apparently known, the origin of the design cannot he ascertained. The influence is very possibly German. For the fixed alarm barrel to be in pierced silver is also unusual.
Very fine early silver watch with alarm, and a most unusual decoration on the case with the border of the back finely pierced and engraved with inhabited foliage.
Plain polished silver dial with engraved Roman chapters, half and quarter hour divisions, and inner revolving alarm setting disc with Arabic numerals. Bluedsteel hour pointer and single hand for alarm setting.

Previously in the Hof Collection, this watch is described and illustrated by E. Jaquet and A. Chapuis in Histoire et Technique de la Montre Suisse, 1945, pp. 30-31, pl. 19, as a good example of an early enamelled watch illustrating the close link between the techniques in use both in Geneva and Châtellerault.Marc GrangierAppears to have been active in Châtellerault where in 1629 the son of Martin Duboule was sent to be trained by him. In 1656 Grangier’s son reciprocally came to Geneva to be apprenticed in Duboule’s workshop. Therefore, first adopted in Limoges and Châtellerault, the technique of enamel decoration en pate, was also used in Geneva by JeanBaptiste Duboule and Pierre Huaud, l’Ainé, who was also originally from Châtellerault.
The scene depicted on the back of this watch is an allegory drawn from the Book of Daniel: While basing in a river, Susan was solicited by to old men, who upon her refusal, publicly accused her of having seduced them. She proved her innocence by her chastity. Caillate Abraham (1642-1710) originally a refugee from France, he appears to have specialised in gold and enamel watches.

Isaac Perrot. A master horologer, he taught Louis Perrot in 1666 and Jaques Colladon in 1675.The scene represents Phoebus Apollo, identified with the Sun (Phoebus from the Latin, meaning «shining»), whom Aphrodite made fall in love in Leucothea, the daughter of Orchamus, ruler of Persia. Apollo took the appearance of Leucothea’s mother Eurynome, interrupted her at her spinning, won her confidence, then resumed his divine form. Clytia, a daughter of Oceanus, who was in love with Apollo, out of jealousy betrayed the lovers to Orchamus, who punished his daughter by burying her alive. The sene was identified by Hans Boeckh as being after an engraving by Hendrik Goltzius, in which Phoebus radiates warmth to revive his love.

Gregoire Gamot of Paris, recorded as working in 1628, and in the Rue de la Barillerie in 1652. He died in 1673. The engraving style of the case is both fine in its execution and elaborate in design, and the artist appears to have employed elements taken from several different designers. The choice of subject for the back is unusual to say the leasttwo duellists apparently in the process of killing one another- and would presumably have been to the order of the buyer. The subject is taken from a contemporary book on the art of sword fighting.

Born in 1608, Estienne was the eldest son from his father’s first marriage to Catherine Lescuyer, and as such gained his right to mastership through patrimony - Fils de Maître. - in 1656. That he received the patent so late in his career is certainly due to his having worked with his father up to the time of the latter’s death circa 1654. He married Elisabeth Ronnieu, by whorn he had three sons who all subsequently became watchmakers. Estienne died in 1676.. Literature: Illustrated Clutton & Daniels, Watches, figs. 92 A - C.

They seem to be taken from one of the anonymous XVIIth century designs for watchmakers, reproduced by E. Gelis : L’Horlogerie Ancienne, Paris 1949, pl. 13.

Probably Pierre Rousseau of Pithiviers and subsequently Paris, who was the brother of André, and married in 1705. ‘Oignons’ front the period of Louis XIV with a pirouette escapement are exceptionally rare. They are constructed on the principle of the very earliest watches to he made with balance-springs, and indeed, Huygens had in effect imagined this device to increase the amplitude of the balance which he considered to be too small. In operation, the verge staff carries not only the pallets, which engage the crown wheel in the conventional way, but also a wheel which engages a pinion on the balance staff; in effect the arc of the balance is greatly increased, and the watch appears to beat more slowly. However, the supplementary gearing for the ‘pirouette’ has a tendancy to increase the frictional losses and any intended gains are therefore likely to be cancelled out. Huygens quickly abandoned this stratagem, and needless to say very few examples were made. A similar oignon with «pirouette», by the same maker, is described and illustrated by A Chapiro in: La Montre Française, Editions de l’Amateur, page 96.

Pascal Hubert of Rouen, is another of the same family of clock and watchmakers tracing their origins back to Estienne ler. and Noel Hubert. Recent information would indicate that they were brothers, and both makers of some repute, as Etienne made a watch that belonged to Mary, Queen of Scots, and Noel was the founder of the Rouen Corporation. Pascal, the maker of this watch was the son of Estienne Ier. and therefor a cousin of Estienne II). He became master as Fils de Maître in November 1649, Garde in 1697, and died before 1701. ‘Oignons’ without fusee are extremely rare, and Jacques Gloria is reputed to have been the first to produce them in France at Dieppe, circa 1680-85. It vas thought that with the increased precision that could be achieved by fitting the newly invented balance spring, the fusee was no longer needed - a saving of both time and effort in the construction of the movement. However, it was quickly found that the advantage of the balance spring vas cancelled by the vagaries of the somewhat crude mainsprings available. Rare as such watches are, they are virtually unknown when fitted with a striking train as in the case of this lot.

Delle, Johann Nikolaus, Augsburg and Dantzig (Master 1732, died 1759). Established on his own account May 10, 1733, following his marriage to the widow of the clockmaker Joseph Anton Schöner, son of Christoph Schöner of Augsburg. The Schöner family were equally renowned for their instruments as for their clocks and watches. Watches incorporating a complete Universal Equinoctial Sundial are exceptionally rare. To date there appear to be only two known to have survived, both dating from the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. The concept of incorporating a sundial into a portable timekeeper dates back to the 16th century, most probably also to the workshops in Augsburg, but these were relatively simple versions, with a gnomon set for a fixed latitude, and sometimes provided with a compass. French examples are also known dating from the early 17th century, but again, of a simple design. The Universal Equinoctial Sundial was introduced, possibly in Germany as early as the 14th century, and continued in use up to the mid-19th century. 17th and 18th century examples incorporated a folding plumb bob for levelling, whilst the later models, mostly made in England, used spirit levelling. Delle?s known dates and the style of the watch would indicate a date of circa 1735, and since he had recently married the widow of a maker known for his instruments, it seems possible that this watch was a co-operative effort.
The lever escapement was invented by Thomas Mudge in 1750.
The first example was incorporated in a small precision clock which was seen and recorded in his diary by a visitor, Thomas Bugge, in 1752.
The first example in a watch has a hallmark for 1769. The watch was given to the king, George III, who gave it to his wife. it is usually referred to a Queen’s watch. Mudge made very few other examples, but incorporated it in a clock he had previously made for his patron, Count Bruhl. Bruhl was very enthusiastic about the escapement which Mudge was no longer developing. He had turned his attention to the development of a marine timekeeper which he hoped might win a part of the Longitude Prize not already awarded to John Harrison.
However, Count Bruhl persuaded him to make a model of his escapement which was given to Josiah Emery, who then made a series of pocket watches using the design of the new escapement.
At least one of the series was exported to France, where the escapement was rapidly developed by Robin, Lepine, Breguet and other. Mudge’s son later stated that the escapement for all Emery’s lever watches had been made by Richard Pendleton. When Emery died only three have survived that are know, No 172 is in the British Museum, and No 180 belonged to Sam Clutton and then went to the Time Museum in America. No 175 is the only one of the three to still have its original case, the other two have lost theirs. The erased inscription on the dial clearly confirms that it was originally intended to form part of Emery’s series.
This watch number 175 was first sold for sale at Sotheby’s on March 13, 1967 (collection of A.J. Hubbard of Piccadilly

The impressive and fascinating BREGUET LA MUSICALE plays the famous aria LA GAZZA LADRA by the Italian composer GIOACCHINO ROSSINI (1792-1868), it can be activated either on demand by pressing the button at 10 o’clock, or at the desired time for the alarm. This is achieved by a patented musical mechanism. A pinned disc acts on the 15 metal teeth of the comb. A metallic glass membrane amplifies the frequencies needed to emit the tune, as well as guaranteeing water resistance. To improve the sound and clarity, LA MUSICALE is fitted with the first magnetic strike governor in the history of watchmaking. This patented system is able to avoid background noise as well as the characteristic whirring typical of classic strike-governors..

Blum’s Vogue was a specialty department store founded by Harry and Becky Blum in Chicago in 1910. The original store was simply called Blum’s and was located in the Congress Hotel, then home to Sarah Bernhardt, Ethel Barrymore, and other famous theatrical stars of the day. Blum’s quickly became successful, and shortly thereafter the Blums opened a second store, Vogue, a few doors down. While Blum’s sold ready-towear clothes, Vogue sold custom-made garments. In 1924, the Blums bought their own building at 624 South Michigan Avenue and began extensive renovations.

According to Vacheron Constantin, the Vacheron movement was delivered to Verger Freres who manufactured the case. Many of some of the most beautiful Art Deco creations were entrusted to Verger Freres by Vacheron Constantin and some of the most decorative pocket watches and clocks were born from this collaboration.

The Movado Polyplan, launched in 1912, was available in two sizes, in silver, 14K and 18K gold cases. The larger Cal. 400 movement has a three-tiered main plate, angled by 25° at both ends to enable the case to be highly curved. The balance is placed at one end so a larger, more accurate balance wheel could be used. The central plate housed the gearing and barrel with the opposite angled side containing the setting wheel, stem and crown. Due to the elaborate construction the original sale price was comparatively high and fewer than 1500 examples are believed to have been made. The rarest and most desirable variations available today are those in the large 56 mm 18K white gold cases such as this example and ones with applied Breguet indexes are rarer still.

Part of the Turn-o-Graph family, initially launched in 1953 that featured a revolving bezel that would allow the wearer to measure short amounts of time without having to use the costlier version, the chronograph. It was the first Rolex watch to have this function that would later be adapted to the entire Submariner line. Reference 16250 was produced between 1979 and 1982 and scholars believe that only about 2’800 were produced.

According to the specialists, although it has never been confirmed, for every one exotic dial, roughly twenty-four Daytona dials were produced, and many of those exotic dials are no longer still in existence today. They are named “Paul Newman” after the famous eponymous Hollywood actor who use to wear a Rolex Daytona ref. 6239 with an exotic dial. Produced between 1966 and 1969, the reference 6241 is recognizable with the smooth pushers and the beautiful black bezel graduated 50-200 units per hour. Experts agree that approximately 2’300 copies were produced in stainless steel – approximately 700 in gold – and one can be certain that only a very small number of those with “Paul Newman” three colors dials are as well preserved as this lot.

Property of a British Gentleman ROLEX, SWITZERLANDThe «Milgauss» was introduced in 1956. It was designed for use in areas of high electromagnetic fields which can be found in laboratories.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the world’s pre-eminent particle physics laboratory, was one of the first scientific labs in the 1950s to confirm the «Milgauss» could resist magnetic fields up to 1 000 Gauss.
The reference 1019 was in production from 1965 to 1990, the model was only available in stainless steel. Its name is derived from the Greek «Mil» for thousand and «Gauss,» the unit to measure magnetism.
A normal watch movement can withstand to 70-90 Gauss whereas the «Milgauss» keeps its incredible precision in a magnetic field up to 1 000 Gauss. Rolex had made some of these «Milgauss» reference 1019 for CERN and these feature indexes and hands that are non-luminous, and this example is stamped 65 in the caseback meaning it was one of the earliest produced in this reference.

Accessories Extract from the Archives
The movement of this watch is probably based on an ébauche (blank) from the workshops of Louis Audemars, one of the usual suppliers of the G enevan manufacture.
The Louis Audemars house was founded in 1811 by Louis-Benjamin Audemars (1782-1833), in the hamlet of Crêt-Meylan, near Le Brassus, in the Vallée de Joux (Canton of Vaud).
This type of perpetual calendar with display of leap years, whether with the indication of the exact duration of each month for the 48 months of the c ycle including February 29th every four years, is designed and developed since 1860 by Charles-Henri Audemars (1829-1906), the youngest son of the founder of the horological manufacture.
Then it replaces the pocket watches with retrograde perpetual calendar (more difficult to use and more expensive in manufacturing cost) – of which Eugène-Constant Lecoultre (1819-1882), originally from Le Chenit (Vallée de Joux), has made a speciality in Geneva – and gradually i mposes itself throughout the watch industry.
Even if this invention is much earlier, the new perpetual calendar mechanism is extensively described and illustrated in July 1885 in the Journal Suisse d’Horlogerie (Swiss Journal of Watchmaking, founded in Geneva in 1876), allowing all watchmakers to build such a watch.
This system which is known as traînant (dragging) is then improved with the invention in 1889 of the instantaneous and simultaneous jump of the d ate-discs by the Genevan manufacture Patek, Philippe & Cie (Swiss patent invention No. 1 018, of May 23, 1889).
A s with other of his inventions (winding and time-setting to the pendant, independent deadbeat seconds, bi-directional winding, etc.), Adrien Philippe (1815-1894) published his creations very late; they were the subject of a very long gestation period and of numerous improvements due t o experience.
It is therefore understandable to see on this watch that the calendar mechanism is a half-instantaneous jump; on the other hand, it is difficult to say whether this improvement is due to the workshops of Louis Audemars or those of Patek Philippe. Very quickly these two manufactures built their perpetual calendars on additional plates (easier to disassemble and reassemble for the watchmaker’s adjustments), allowing them to be incorporated on watches with repeater on demand or other horological complications.
L ouis Audemars house remains in the history of watchmaking as one of the greatest manufactures of all time, having realised, under its name or t hat of other watchmakers, some of the most beautiful watches in the world of the years 1860-1880.
The orders for ébauches(blank movements) received by this workshop enabled many of the great houses (notably Breguet and Patek Philippe) to c reate masterpieces that marked the history of watchmaking in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. This did not prevent the master watchmakers of these manufactures from improving and creating other marvels.

The successor to the famed reference 96 Calatrava, the reference 570 was its oversize sister reference. Launched in 1938, this reference came in a variety of dial configuration, the black dial being its rarest by far. Never having appeared on the market before and having recently been discovered in Germany and its black dial confirmed by the extract from the archives, it is fair to see that it is one of the most spectacular examples to have appeared on the market in the last 20 years. In fact only a couple of yellow gold 570’s with black dial and subsidiary seconds have ever appeared on the market and this is the only known example so far featuring a full outer minute track making it one of the most coveted time

Launched in 1973, the reference 3603 was a huge departure from the manufacture into the world of Beta 21 quartz movements. Made in very few examples in white gold (scholars talk about 15 examples in white gold), even less with a white gold bracelet and only a fraction accompanied with its original certificate of origin such as this example. Conserved in very good condition, with 2 clear hallmarks to the case, an iconic 1970’s wristwatch.

Property of an Italian ladyLaunched in 1976, the “Nautilus”, named after Captain Nemo’s submarine (created by Jules Verne in his “Vingt mille lieues sous les mers”), was an immense breakthrough from Patek Philippe’s conservative designs and proof that Haute Horlogerie and audacity can go hand in hand to create an icon that is still relevant 40 years later. Legend has it that the idea of creating a watch in the shape of a porthole found on transatlantic liners came to designer Gérald Genta (1931-2011), a Genevan designer jeweller, whilst dining at a restaurant during the Basel fair and looking at the Patek Philippe team dining on a table opposite his. The whole design having taken no more than 5 minutes!
Patek Philippe produced two versions of the Nautilus Ref. 3700 in steel:
· 3700 / 1, from 1976 to about 1981, that featured a straight bracelet and reference;
· 3700 / 11, which was in production from 1981 to 1990 has a tapered steel bracelet.
Beating within is the Cal. 28-255 C (based on the legendary Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC 920 self-winding movement; which was never used by Jaeger-LeCoultre!) and heavily modified by Patek Philippe, it was at the time the world’s thinnest selfwinding movement with date (3.05 mm. thick) and found in two other models representing Haute Horlogerie groovy chic:
Audemars Piguet’s “Royal Oak” and Vacheron Constantin’s “222”; the first, also design by Genta; the second, designed by Jorg Hysek, a young German designer (born in 1953).
Originally, the Ref. 3700 / 1 A comes with a coveted cork presentation box.
Owing to a thinner calibre, the 3700 / 1 A retains a slimmer profile than its 21st century descendent, the 5711 / 1 A, introduced on the 40th anniversary of the 3700 in 2006.
The “Jumbo” moniker refers to the 42 mm. case, with wide flat bezel, integrated steel link bracelet, and self-winding movement, possessing a rather masculine aesthetic compared to the smaller dressy gold mechanical watches of the time.

Property of a GentlemanLaunched in 1976, during the quartz crisis, the Nautilus is the second watch designed by Gerald Genta, after the Royal Oak in 1972. The shape of its case, very avant-garde for the time, reminds one of a porthole, which might explain its name after Captain Nemo’s fictitious submarine, in Jules Verne’s famous book Twenty Miles Under the Sea. The first reference is the 3700/1 manufactured from 1976 to 1981. To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the “Nautilus”, Patek Philippe launched the reference 5711 in 2006, featuring a slightly larger case design and it was officially discontinued in 2021. Adding one millimetre to the case compared to the original reference 3700 and launched with a classic blue dial, it varied with a three-part case that was slightly thicker as well (from 7.6 mm. on the 3700 to 8.3 mm. on the 5711) and equipped with the calibre 324. Beyond the obvious investment that such a model represents, it is an icon of watchmaking history.

The Patek Philippe 1579 is considered one of the more decorative versions of simple chronographs due to its fancy spider lugs. Made from 1943 until 1964, it is believed that only about 185 were made in pink gold cases and much less featuring a pulsation scale as confirmed by the extract from the archives.

Property of an Important collectorWithout a doubt, the Patek 1463 is one of the most beautiful waterproof chronographs ever produced. Following the sale of a steel example with Breguet numerals (see Lot 200, November 5, 2022), we are proud to offer another spectacular example this time in pink gold and is probably one of the nicest examples we have ever offered. Not only is the case in spectacular condition showing almost no polish with 2 mint hallmarks, but the owner decided that he wanted an extra pink gold dial (watch was originally delivered on the silver dial as indicated on the extract), so he went on a very long quest to find an original extra pink gold dial that is a spectacular match. He furthermore wanted a pink gold bracelet so he was lucky enough to find a period Gay Freres riveted bracelet to add to an already breathtaking example. Scholars believe that only 145 examples were ever made in pink gold making this piece a true collectors delight.

With a beautiful hand engraved movement, these complications pocket watches by IWC were all made in a limited edition of 1000 pieces.
At the time IWC had said about their line of pocket watches: “Today, IWC’s watchmakers are proud of the fact that they are able to integrate all the complications mentioned in watches from Schaffhausen. The history of complicated watches from IWC is a very special one. Before the advent of the quartz watch, IWC had specialized in precise, high-quality watches without any complicated modules. As interest in mechanical watches dwindled in the 1970s, IWC decided to focus on a small group of watch devotees and customers who had not abandoned their love of mechanical watches. In effect, IWC launched a counter-revolution against the quartz revolution that had taken place in the watch industry. Most manufacturers in the watch industry – even in the luxury sector – had either neglected and forgotten the art of watchmaking or had been forced into receivership. Not IWC. Bucking the trend, the company’s Executive Board charged watchmakers, Kurt Klaus among them, with the development of several small series of complicated pocket watches. It was a bold step, and one from which IWC was to reap enormous benefit in the long term. The first fruit of such efforts was the Reference 5500, a Lépine open-face pocket watch with calendar and moon phase. Unveiled at the 1977 Swiss Watch Show in Basel, it was limited to 100 pieces and sold out in a trice to lovers of classic, mechanical timepieces. In the following years, Kurt Klaus devoted himself to other haute horlogerie projects. The complications were featured not only in pocket watches but also in wristwatches. The designs and mechanisms consolidated IWC’s reputation as an manufacturer of high-quality, complicated watch movements.”

Josiah Emery (c. 1725-1797).
A Swiss watchmaker, born in the canton of Vaud, near Vevey, settled in England and had a shop at 33 Cockspur Street, Charing Cross, London. He made very fine cylinder watches and few with minute repeating like this lot, he became famous as the first watchmaker in the world after Thomas Mudge to produce a watch with a lever escapement. He made about thirty-six lever watches between 1774/5 and 1795.
Three of Emery’s lever watches were imported into France and served as a model for Robert Robin for a series of precision watches that he produced at the end of the eighteenth century. His workmanship is always superlative, equal to the best of his contemporaries, including Arnold. Louis Berthoud said of Emery’s work that it was particularly good in its essential points, and not ‘’showy’’. In 1781 his excellence was recognized by his peers, who elected him an Honorary Freeman of the Clockmaker’s Company, a distinction rarely given. He was succeeded by Recordon and Dupont in 1796.

An unusual watch because of its layout, its high standard of execution, and because it employs an early time zone system.The history of multiple time zone indications is interesting. According to the London «Annual Register» for 1821, Mr. Kuchajewski of Warsaw, Poland, constructed «an astronomical watch, which indicated the time differences in the principal places in various parts of the globe». Kuchajewski’s watch was presented to Emperor Alexander I (17771825), who «assigned him a sum to enale him to continue his important scientific labor». In the last quarter of the 19th century a number of patents related to multiple time zones were registered, the early ones were based on rotating single dial with names of cities painted radially, with inner 12-hour reference dial. The first patent, No. 1820, was registered on December 12, 1889 by Dr. Tinney of Berlin. A year later, on August 22, 1890, Louis-Philippe Wuillemin of Soutz registered patent No. 2523, describing a system very similato the one in this watch - but about 60 years later. Yet another system was employed for lot No. 114. The patents that followed later focused on ways of setting the correct time for any given city.Johan Pechan is listed as working in Vienna from at least 1794 onwards.

Haas Neveux Founded in 1848 by BENJAMIN HAAS, later becoming known as Haas Neveux & Cie, it is one of the oldest Swiss watch manufacturers. The Haas signature has always been one of the most sought after, thanks to the impeccable standards of the company. Among their most notable creations was the first ultra thin watch, launched at the end of the 19th century. Haas gained a reputation as a manufacturer of fine chronometers, chronographs, and highly complicated watches. This very fine watch has an extremely heavy gauge gold case and naturally of high quality as expected of HAAS NEVEUX.

Retrograde perpetual calendar Watches with perpetual calendars and fly-back indication of the date, so-called «retrograde», were produced in very few examples in the 1860-1880’s by some Genevan workshops, including those of Eugène Lecoultre (1819-1882), Henri-Robert Ekegrèn (1823-1896) and Patek, Philippe & Cie. Note that at this time, other watchmakers in the Vallée de Joux produce a few rare pieces with this same horological complication. The Breguet House of Paris on order at Louis Audemars & Cie, Le Brassus (an example made for the Islamic market, No. 5 473 / No. 1 434, was sold by Antiquorum, Geneva, November 13, 2005, lot 71, for the amount of CHF 20 700.). Eugène Lecoultre is most likely the author of this watch, whose the main-plate is punched «geneve». Lecoultre, Eugène (1819-1882) Eugène-Constant Lecoultre (originally from Le Chenit, Vallée de Joux) married in 1842, in Geneva, Louise-Jacqueline-Simone Soldano (18201858), precision timekeeper adjuster; the couple has three children. He spouse, in second weddings, in 1861, Eglantine Cellier (1838-1924); the couple has 14 children, at least six of whom arrive in adulthood. He seems to open his worshop in Geneva in 1848. He manufactures watches with horological compliAcations, very neat, including those with a retrograde perpetual calendar that seems to his invention. He also looks after the precision adjustment of watches. In 1880, he won a First prize at the timing contest of the Geneva Astronomical Observatory (for a Chronometer with lever escapement, Breguet hairspring, set by himself, No. 2 370, with 192.3 points). He is mentioned in Geneva as a manufacturer, adjuster and watchmaker-merchant (in 1848, 1857, 1862, 1874, etc.), under the trade-names Lecoultre-Soldano, Lecoultre-Cellier, and Lecoultre & Cie. He was located in Geneva, 8, rue François Bonivard, at the foot of the Saint-Gervais district, on the right bank of Lake Geneva. A watch with minute-repeater, chronograph and retrograde perpetual calendar, signed by him, was sold by Antiquorum, Geneva, April 18, 1998, lot 561, for the amount of CHF 35 650.- His eldest son (from the first marriage), Marius Lecoultre (18471915) works with him and takes over the paternal affair; it is to him that we owe the invention of watches known as «Boules de Genève». Note that the relationship between Eugène-Constant Lecoultre (1819-1882) of Geneva and CharAles-Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881) of the Vallée de Joux - founder of what is today the the Jaeger-LeACoultre manufacture on Le Sentier - dates back to eight generations, with the «honorable» Pierre (I) Le Coultre (circa 1532 - circa 1602).

Lattes Frères & Compagnie
Lattes Frères & Co., Cairo, was a company specialising in the watch and jewellery trade in Egypt in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Prior to January 1st, 1883, it established a branch in Geneva, under the same name, with the following type of business: “horlogerie et bijouterie” (watchmaking and jewellery).
Its office is located at 9, boulevard James Fazy, near the Cornavin railway station, on the right bank of the Rhône, above the Saint-Gervais district, the historical centre of the Genevan Fabrique (i.e. the watchmakers’ district in the 18th and 19th centuries). Boulevard James Fazy is a part of Geneva’s main ring road, which was gradually built up in the last third of the 19th century; it was then a modern artery. The new Ecole des arts industriels (School of Industrial Arts; later the Ecole des arts décoratifs, School of Decorative Arts) and the Ecole d’horlogerie (Horological school; entrance from rue Necker) are located here.
The general partners are Mr. Asser Lattes, Mr. Bonajuto Lattes and Mr. Job Lattes, all three from Cuneo (Italy), residing in Alexandria (Egypt). The Genevan branch is managed by Mr. Amédée Chantre of Geneva, who has power of attorney for the company.
Cuneo – Coni in Italian – is a town in Piedmont, located as the crow flies, halfway between Turin and Nice. As early as the 18th century, there were Lattes, wool and fabric merchants, just like in Nice. It should be remembered that the County of Nice, an integral part of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, as well as the Duchy of Savoy, were annexed to France in June 1860, becoming the departments of Alpes-Maritimes, Savoy and Haute-Savoie (part of which borders Geneva).
The Davoine professional directory of 1880-1882 in fact already mentions “Lattes frères et Cie, Boulevard St-Gervais 9, Genève” under “Horlogerie - Fabricants et Commerçants” (Horology - Manufacturers and Traders). Boulevard SaintGervais is the former name of Boulevard James Fazy.
In 1891, the same directory mentions “Lattes, J., Boulevard J. Fazy 9, Genève”. In 1896, the address became “Boulevard J. Fazy 3”. The inscription continued until 1899 and then disappeared.
At one time, the company’s name in Geneva was “Lattes, Gardiol & Cie”.
Some fitted boxes for watches or medals (military awards) bear the inscription “J. Lattes, fournisseur de S.M. le roi d’Egypte & de l’Etat, Le Caire” (J. Lattes, supplier to H.M. the King of Egypt & the State, Cairo), others later “Maison Lattes, L. Rosen & Cie, Succ, Le Caire” (Lattes House, L. Rosen & Co., Successor, Cairo).
An advertisement printed on the back of a map of Cairo, probably dating from 1900-1910, tells us that J. Lattes was in liquidation. It also states its date of foundation, 1860, its address in Cairo, El Manak Street, and its address in Turin, Via Baretti, 45. It also reads “J. Lattes, Jeweller, Speciality of Oriental Pearls, Egyptian Jewellery with Real Scarabs, Geneva Watches”.
Several watches signed Lattes (J. Lattes / Lattes Frères & Cie / Lattes, Gardiol & Cie) are listed. They are mostly of very high quality and with horological complications. The watch we present here is of the highest standard and its complication type of the rarest. Moreover, its state of preservation is irreproachable.
Notice, commentary and biography by Arnaud Tellier, March 31, 2023.
Provenance:
The article from Flores in the A.F.A.H.A. N°63 Juin 2008 describes the identical watch Lattes Frères made in silver N°12865 ordered by the sultan of Egypt Hussein Kamel. It is obvious that such a special watch was not ordered by 2 different parties and that Hussein Kamel ordered also the second watch N°10789 this time in gold for his private use or as a gift to an important person. Hussein Kamel (1853 - 1917) was appointed in 1914 Sultan of Egypt by the British. He must have been a very cultivated or educated person with a lot of interest for science. He was a longtime advisor for the court of Napoleon III and he was the interpreter of Empress Eugénie. In Egypt he had many functions in the government. As a minister of public works he took important decisions to improve the Egyptian infrastructure. After his death he was followed by his younger brother who became King of Egypt in 1922 under the name Fouad I. Like his brother he apparently had as well a passion for watches which is documented by his propriety of the ultra-complicated unique Vacheron Constantin pocket watch N°402833.
The present watch is a rare combination of sidereal and mean solar time. It is not a two time zone watch as described otherwise. According to literature watches with double movement are extremely rare. We see them first between 1790 and 1820. Their need was not very clear beside the need of a 2 time zone indication which could have been presented easier with just a double train for the hands. The present watch is another dimension and of a different demand as it is used as a precision timekeeper in an observatory to determine an exacte sidereal time of 366,2422 days a year or 3 minutes 56 seconds a day that it precedes the other movement with its solar time of 365.2422 days a year. The nowadays knowledge about the exact functioning and the construction details are related to the article about the sister watch N°12865 published by the famous french author Joseph Flores in 2008 in the journal of the french collector’s society A.F.A.H.A.: An extract of his analogous rendering of his quotes is the following: „The watch is in each part highest quality“. How to find out the sidereal mechanism? „To confirm this, it is already necessary to clean it, in order to check how each of the movements is regulated, if there is a difference in the size of the wheels or simply a difference in the count of the organs regulating the 2 balance/hairspring assemblies. This dismantling operation allows us to see the exceptional quality of this double construction. Yes, everything is duplicated, except that the watch only has one winding crown, which involves a trick to wind each of the movements“. frequency.

Practical instruments mounted with mechanical watches are rare from any period, but notably so from the 17th Century and earlier. The Dresden collection contains a watch mounted in a sword pommel from the 16th Century, and at least one powder flask with a watch survives. The form of the knife now offered for sale and the style of the engraving point to a date of circa 1700. Miniature watches have always been a challenge for watchmakers, who have vied with one another to produce ever-smaller mechanisms.
It is then necessary to wait until the beginning of the 19th century to find this type of object. It is in Geneva that one encounters a production of small gold knives, richly decorated with enamel and / or pearls, sometimes incorporating a watch and / or a miniature music mechanism with vibrating blades. This production is often attributed to the Piguet & Capt workshop, which specialises in the construction of prestige and fantasy objects, often destined for export markets such as China. These luxurious knives can be fitted with one or two blades. In the latter case, the steel blade is used to pick a fruit, while the gold blade is used to peel it without oxidizing it. About ten of these knives are now listed, some of which are kept in the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva.

He settled in Geneva where he became Master in 1654 and married that same year. He had seven children, four daughters and three sons. Duhamel made astronomical watches, and also watches in enameled and rock crystal cases, or watches designed as various animals. He had Abraham Durand as a pupil in 1656.

The Judgement of ParisJuno, Minerva and Venus were in competition for the golden apple thrown by Eris (Discord) at the wedding feast of Thetis and Peleus; the apple bore the words ‘for the most beautiful’. Each of the goddesses desired that the apple be given to her. Jupiter designated Paris, son of the Trojan King of Troy, as the judge. Each of the goddesses tried to influence him by promising him a present - Minerva promised wisdom, Juno, power, and Venus, the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris gave the appleto Venus.VaucherMaster in 1767, is listed as having been active in Paris, rue St Pierre aux Boeufs between 1769 and 1790.It was a common practice in the eighteenth century to replace the movement in a particularly expensive or beautiful watch case, in order to take advantage of technological advances in horology.

Pierre Huaud IFor a biography see Huaud frères, page 34.Venus and AdonisAccording to the legend, Adonis was born from an incestuous union between Myrrha and his father Cinyras, King of Paphos in Cyprus (or possibly Belos, King of Egypt, or even Theias, King of Assyria). The gods transformed Myrrha into the myrrh-tree and in due course Adonis was born from the tree when the trunk was split open by a wild boar. Venus (or Aphrodite) was struck by the beauty of the child Adonis and put him in the care of Persephone (or Proserpine), the queen of the underworld. But Persehone too loved the youth and refused to give him back to Venus. Jupiter (or Zeus) had to pass judgment to resolve the question between the two goddesses. There are two versions of this judgment: in the first, Adonis was to spend a third of the year with each goddess while the rest of the time as he preferred and chose to spend that time with Venus; in the other version, the judgment was made by the Muse Calliope, Jupiter not wishing to arbitrate, and each goddess was allowed to have Adonis for hlf of the year. Both versions are indicative of Adonis’ function since he was the god of vegetation and nature. The cause of Adonis’ birth became also that of his death because he died after being attacked by a wild boar while hunting. Venus was overcome with despair and from the blood of his wounds, created a new flower, the red anemone, a wild flower that each year blooms briefly and then dies. Adonis, imported probably from the Phoenicians, came to be revered as a dying-and-rising god. In midsummer, Athenians held Adonia, a yearly festival representing his death and resurrection.William Ilbery, London (ca. 1760-1839)Active in London from 1780 in Goswell Street, he moved to Duncan Terrace towards the end of the 18th century. Following James Cox in London and Jaquet-Droz in Switzerland, he also specialised in the production of luxury watches for the Chinese Market. His early production was very much in the English style featuring a full plate movement and an English type single wheel duplex escapement. However, for his highest quality watches, he incorporated a Peto cross detent escapement. Later, he used thestandard bridge calibre with free-standing barrel, also called the ‘Chinese’ calibre. The cases of his watches were sumptuously decorated by the best Genevan enamellers, such as Jean-Francois-Victor Dupont, who usually signed his work, and Jean-Louis Richter, who signed rarely. He seems to have maintained close contacts with the continental trade since a watch signed ‘Ilbery Paris’ is known and Ilbery Lot Son are recorded in London and Fleurier, as well as in Canton.

Zephyr personified the breeze (the west wind).In Antiquity, the Winds played a crucial role in navigation. According to Ovid, Zephyr saw the nymph Chloris, fell hopelessly in love with her, raped her, and finally married her. He made her a ruler over the kingdom of flowers and she became known as Flora as a result.Mussard Jean V (16811754)One of the best enamel painters of the beginning of the 18th century, he began his career as a goldsmith and became a Master on December 7, 1699. He later became a painter on enamel, in which discipline he was influenced by the style of the Frères Huaud. He went into partnership with his son Jean-Antoine and trained several pupils, among them Gabriel Fontaine, André Oettner, and in 1712, Germain Colladon. Two of his best-known subjects are the Roman Charity and a Religious Scenes. His signature appears as: ‘Mussard’, ‘Jean Mussard pinx’, Mussard pinx’.Bibliography: ‘Dictionnaire des Horlogers Genevois’, Antiquorum Editions, Geneva, 1998.

Griesbaum Founded in 1905 by Karl Griesbaum (1872-1941) in Triberg, in the Black Forest. The son of Mathias Griesbaum, a clockmaker, Karl began by working in the basement of his home. Karl Griesbaum had five children: Mathias (1902-1974), who was named after his grandfather, Karl Joseph (b. 1916), Amalia, Helena, and Caroline. Mathias studied clockmaking in Furtwangen, then pursued commercial studies in Karlsruhe, and later went to Switzerland. The most typical Griesbaum pieces produced during this period were probably their snuff boxes, particularly those made in a style reminiscent of traditional German silversmithery.

The inside of the case is stamped with the so-called “prestige” hallmarks, based on those used in Great Britain at the beginning of the century, in particular the crown and the letter “G” of Sheffield (South Yorkshire) for the year 1804, while this same letter was used in London in 1802.
This watch is the “sister” of a piece we sold in this same auction room in Hong Kong on April 28, 2019 (lot 607). The enamelled scene of the two watches is mirrored; the image being reversed like the reflection of each other in a mirror. This is one of the specificities of the Genevan production for the Chinese market, which often passed through the London trade before being exported to the Middle Kingdom.
It is also worth noting that both of these timepieces are equipped with extraordinary movements built in solid gold. We are thus dealing here with one of the summits of the history of watchmaking at the beginning of the 19th century.
The watch we are offering today is accompanied by a box with two places, expressly made to keep the two pieces together. On the back of this box is an antique label with a handwritten inscription: “Numa Jacot / Fleurier”. This may be the name of a former owner of this pair of watches, now separated from each other but hopefully reunited one day. It is difficult to say whether this box dates from the time of the production of the watches or rather from the middle of the 19th century; probably the time of their return to Europe following the vicissitudes of the Celestial Empire in the 19th century.
Some enlightened amateurs will tell us that the numbers of the movements are not consecutive, that they cannot be pieces born together, like two twins. The studies we have been conducting on so-called “Chinese” watches for decades lead us to reply that if this seems illogical, it is not impossible. This is all the more true since we are dealing here with extremely rare movements whose production must have taken much longer than that of classic “Chinese” movements. Several pairs of watches preserved in the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva demonstrate this because the numbers of their movements are not consecutive.
Note also that this pair of watches is the only one known to date with gold movements. In fact, we have listed only seven of these movements, four of which are signed by “Ilbery London”. Despite this signature, we know today that this production is entirely from Geneva.

Philippe Samuel Meylan Born February 15, 1772, in Bas-du-Chenit, died in 1845. At 20 years old he came to Geneva where he worked for the Godemar Frères in quality of Master worker. Afterwards he went back to Brassus where he founded a little factory in 1811. He then returned to Geneva where he definitively settled. He met another watchmaker from his own village, Isaac Piguet, with whom he entered into partnership, founding the Piguet & Meylan firm, which would last from 1811 to 1828. It specialised in minute cadratures, musical watches, skeleton or automaton watches, mechanical animals and figures, he is also credited with the invention of the bagnolet caliber. Isaac Daniel Piguet. Born in 1775 in Le Chenit in the Vallée de Joux, Isaac Daniel Piguet was the son of Pierre Moïse Piguet and Elisabeth Nicole. He married Jeanne Françoise Capt around 1795, and around 1800 settled in Geneva with his family. Isaac Daniel Piguet went into business with Henry Daniel Capt, his brother-in-law, on February 10, 1802. The association between Piguet & Meylan came to an end in 1828. Piguet and his son David Auguste established a new company, Piguet père & fils, located no 69 rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Isaac Daniel Piguet died in Geneva, on January 20, 1841, at the age of 66. he sur plateau musical arrangement, as found in this box, is attributed to Philippe Meylan. The blades are laid out at angles of equal intervals, and they move progressively inward toward the center of the disc. The teeth playing the higher notes, since they are stiffer, are acted upon by the pin near the center of the disc, the lower notes are played by the more easily flexed blades set nearer the periphery of the disc. The number of the blades usually varies between 16 and 27 but usually several notes are duplicated. The present box features Meylan’s invention as well as typical Piguet et Meylan automaton arrangement, with the center-seconds cylinder watch movement set directly on the same plate as the musical one. In addition, the enamel on the dial plate has most of the characteristics found on other Piguet et Meylan dial plates.

William Ilbery, London, recorded as working from 1780, died 1839. Specialised in watches for the Chinese Market, and worked closely with contacts in Switzerland both for movements and enamel work. Strong commercial and diplomatic ties between Britain and the Chinese court ensured that many watches, despite being of Swiss origin, were signed with English names and marked London. Even the exceptionally talented Jaquet-Droz established a branch in London to take advantage of the China trade. The best period of watchmaking for the Chinese Market coincides with Ilbery’s success - 1790 - 1830 - and with the work of the finest enamel artists - Dupont, Richter, Lissignol etc. Almost without exception, the subjects depicted on these cases were taken either from classical mythology, Swiss landscape painting, or based on stories of an allegorical nature - Faith, Hope, Love etc. Examples with a portrait are virtually unknown for the time, and until the watch now offered for sale appeared, only one other was apparently known to have survived. At the Christie’s auction of April 20, 1991 in New York - Important Clocks and Watches, lot 89 was a virtual pair to the current lot, but with the back panel depicting a portrait of a Chinese gentleman, also dressed in formal Court costume (present whereabouts currently unknown). Although not a pair in the generally accepted sense (ie. the identical subject but painted in reverse), they must originally have been commissioned for the saute customer and presumably the couple depicted in the portraits. Frequently sequential numbering of the movements can be found on ‘pairs’ of watches, but it does not appear to have been an infallible rule. Since there is no tradition of Swiss enamellers working in China at the beginning of the 19th century, it is interesting to speculate as to how the ‘master’ portraits were communicated to Europe. Towards the end of the 19th century, photography was used, and drawings do exist from the 1860’s or later (see A. Chapuis, La Montre Chinoise, Neuchatel, p.187, fig.148). In view of the rich colouring of the costume, and the incorporation of flecks of gold to simulate braid, it seems possible that the portraits may have been taken from glass paintings, a technique that enjoyed considerable popularity in China. Plate glass mirrors were exported from Europe to be partially decorated with the same technique and returned for framing in the chinoiserie style.

Brownlee was born January 9, 1915, son of the late George Lewis and Elizabeth Caldonia Plemper Brownlee. He was a veteran of Air Force, Bombandier WW II in the 303rd Bomb Group. German Prisoner of War.
On October the 11th 1942, the B-17 Flying Fortress 41-24582 named the “One O’Clock Jump” (that is the name of the plane) was assigned out, again on October 16th and December 12th. The last was a bomb mission on a German air depot in France but the weather caused problems. The plane ended up being assigned to bomb the marshaling yards at Rouen/Scotteville. Their aircraft went into a spin from German attack and crashed near Fontainebleau, France. Leon had bailed out while serving as Navigator on the December 12th mission. He and the others on the aircraft became prisoners of War and was later sent to a German POW camp at Stalag 7A in Moosburg, Bavaria. He was finally freed on April 30th 1945. Rolex and Prisoners of War Surviving past documentation shows that Rolex (and perhaps other watch factories) were engaged in the regular supply of watches to men incarcerated in Prisoner of War camps although this was probably limited to just one or two «model» camps such as Stalag Luft III, which was regarded as very civilised internment. How the prisoners chose their watches is not known and the officers, presumably because of the cost, were the main purchasers. The present watch was valued by Rolex at 250 Swiss Francs in 1943 although the purchasers were told that they would not be expected to pay until after the war. The supply of these watches to the prisoners was very enterprising of Rolex although not without obvious financial risk, by doing this they were helping the war effort and at the same time knowing that the watches given to the prisoners were very likely to be paid for after the war by those who survived. This enterprise also gave Rolex another opportunity for testing their products in extreme conditions, this is evident because in surviving correspondence Rolex always asks how the watch has performed for the wearer.
During the development of early dive watches from Rolex, there was still some experimenting going on in regards to the dial writings, colours and references. This 6536 considered to be part of the early batch of dive watches actually having the name Submariner on the dial is a perfect example of this. With a very early serial number of 5 digits, it features the reference 6538 crossed out in the back and replaced with the reference 6536. Furthermore it features the depth printed in red which would very soon be discontinued in favour of all gilt graffics. The dial also has the characteristic 6 o clock marker that is in a slightly whiter shade than the rest of the indexes, insuring its authenticity. A rare insight to the world of early Rolex Submariners.

Jean Louis Richter (1766-1841) He learned his art uncle’ David-EtienneRoux and Philippe-Samuel- Theodore Roux, becoming a most renowned enamel painter. His speciality was the painting of landscapes and particularly lake and marine scapes, often representing ships in a harbour or battles with fighting Men-ofwar. He also painted portraits and hunting scenes. Although it may happen that his signature, iii running hand-writing, appears on some of his work, more often than not his paintings are unsigned but can clearly be recognised as being in his hand from the style and duality of the work. He applied his art principally to watch cases and snuff boxes and these were largely destined for the Chinese, Turkish, British and Italian markets. Richter, like other great enamel painters of the time, often found inspiration for his work from paintings or engravings by the artists then in fashion, such as Van der Myn (1684-1741), Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727-1785), John Francis Rigaud (1742-1820), John Hoffner (1748-1810) and Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815), or even from particularly famous scenes such as the « Rape of Helen « from the engraving by Guido Reni (1575-1642), now in the Cabinet des Estampes, Paris.

Although their movements were generally produced in Fleurier (Val de Travers), Switzerland, these top quality watches, made for the Chinese Market during the first quarter of the 19th century, were decorated in Geneva by the best craftsmen of the time. Enamel painters such as Richter and Dupont used to find their inspiration in the work of old master painters such as Van der Myn (1684-174 I), Giovanni Batista Cipriani (I 727-1785), John Francis Rigaud (1742-1820), John 1-loffner (1748-1810, Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815 and William Hamilton) . The enamel back of each single case is in itself a true master piece of miniature painting featuring seaside landscapes, naval battles, mythological and allegorical scenes evoking love, such as «The rapt of Helen by Paris» taken from the engraving by Guido Reni (1575-1642), children at play, and illustrations of Shakespearian Tragedies.
Bovet
A watchmaking dynasty founded by Edouard, Frédéric, Alphonse, Gustave, Charles-Henri, and Caroline Bovet, of Fleurier. In 1822, a Bovet partnership was founded for the Chinese watch trade in Canton. In 1840, Bovet Frères et Cie was established in Fleurier, and in 1864, the Bovet watch production was sold to Bovet?s manufacturing inspectors in Fleurier, Jules Jéquier and Ernest Bobillier, soon joined by Ami Leuba. In 1888, Bovet Frères was founded under the direction of Alexis Landry, who served his apprenticeship in Fritz Bovet’s workshop in Fleurier, producing ebauches for Chinese watches and silver cases. Alexis Landry formed a partnership with Albert and Jean Bovet, specializing in complicated watches and chronographs. In 1901, the Bovet trademark was acquired by César and Charles Leuba, sons of Ami Leuba. In 1918, Jacques Ullmann & Co. of La Chaux-de-Fonds bought the Bovet brand from Leuba Brothers, and in 1948, FavreLeuba took over the company and acquired the first production plant. In 1966 Favre-Leuba sold the Fleurier plant, and in 1989 Parmigiani acquired the Bovet name. A limited company registered as Bovet Fleurier S.A. was formed in 1990, using the Bovet trademark. In 1994, Roger Guye and a partner bought Bovet Fleurier S.A. and opened a branch in Geneva. Pascal Raffy became the majority shareholder and President in 2001. Today, Bovet timepieces are widely available in the world’s major destinations. Eager to maintain its historical roots in the Far East, the company has subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Japan, and delivers its collection to select distributors in Singapore, Taiwan, the Middle East, Turkey, Russia, the United States, London, and Geneva. Timepieces have long been gifts of predilection. Symbols of power, of knowledge, messengers of culture, tokens of friendship, and guages of peace, they never failed to astonish and to please.

Edouard & Léo Juvet One of the important Swiss horological families working for the Chinese market. Edouard Juvet (1820-1883) was first established in Buttes in 1842, but in 1844 moved his workshop to Fleurier. He began making ‘’Chinese’’ watches in 1856. Edouard’s sons Ami-Louis and Léo traveled to China to work in the family firm. When Ami-Louis died there, Léo (1848-1891) took his place. In Shanghai, the Juvets were rivaled only by the Bovets, yet the two families maintained friendly relations. The Maison Juvet prospered, opening branches in Tien-Tsin and Saigon, to the extent that in 1872 Léo wrote : «Our watches sell like salt». In 1873, Edouard Juvet registered a trademark in Chinese characters, which was used on the company’s products. He granted his son Léo power of attorney in November 1875, and after his death in February 1883, Léo succeeded him at the head of the firm.
Many artists used flowers in their pieces as well: roses to represent passion with thorns; pansies from the French pensées, which means my thoughts are of you; forget-me-nots embody enduring passion; daisies stand for innocence; lilacs express the first emotions of love; and mistletoe is a kiss. Just as flowers are the inspiration of love, so too is music. Goldsmiths and jewelers of the 19th century created a variety of miniature instruments for gold and gem-set pendants, lockets, brooches and watches in such forms as the lyre, mandolin and harp. Although it is smaller than usual and signed with the apocryphal signature of Breguet, this watch is very similar to the watch retailed by Fd. Aubert, sold by Antiquorum on 13 October 1996, lot No. 620, which was also produced in the Piguet & Meylan workshop. Philippe Samuel Meylan, born February 15th, 1772 in Bas-du- Chenit, died in 1845. At 20 years old he came to Geneva where he worked for the Godemar Freres in quality of Master worker. Afterward he went back to Brassus where the founded a little factory in 1811. Back to Geneva he definitively settled clown. He met there an other watchmaker from his own village, Isaac Piguet, with whom he associated, founding the Piguet & Meylan Firm, which will last from 1811 to 1828. It specialised in minute «cadratures», musical watches, skeleton or automaton watches, mechanical animals and personages. Daniel Isaac Piguet, born in Chenit in 1775, tied in Geneva in 1841. Very skilful watchmaker, he associated himself a first time with Henry Capt, from 1 802 to 1811, then with Samuel Philippe Meylan, another watchmaker from the same village, until 1828.Their works were signed or marked «P.M.» within a lozenge. After 1828, he went on with his activities with his son, under the name of Piguet ID & Fits. Their creations were for a large part made for the Chinese Market. It is told that an important collector from Sidney bought a large quantity of watches and other musical and automaton objects of virtue, but the boat which carried the pieces sank in consequence of a shipwreck, in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

PIERRE SIMON GOUNOUILHOU (1779-1847) was born in 1779, settled in Geneva (Quai Neuf en l’Isle, No. 241) in 1799. An imaginative maker of great repute, he produced automata and musical objects and watches, ring watches with virgule escapement and quarter-repeating, watches with cases using unusual decorative techniques such as granulation. He left very interesting shop notes with an abundance of information about the habits and customs of early 19th century Geneva watchmakers. «THE KITCHEN» This form of automaton watch appears to have been produced only by GOUNOUILHOU AND DUBOIS & FILS. Those made by Gounouilhou employ fusee and chain, rarely found in Swiss watches, whereas Dubois used a going barrel, and his kitchen was run from the repeating mechanism. Fewer than a dozen «Kitchen» automata are known. The automaton mechanism controls: 1. The lady’s hand. 2. The spit’s rotation. 3. The fire’s flames. 4. The dog’s running. 5. The wheel turning.

Learned his art under David-Etienne-Roux and Philippe-Samuel-Théodore Roux, becoming a most renowned enamel painter. His specialty was the painting of landscapes and particularly lake-side scenes and marine-scapes, often representing ships in a harbour or battles with fighting Men-of-War, but, on occasion, also portraits and hunting scenes. He did not often sign his work, but it is clearly recognised as being in his hand from the style and quality of the painting. He applied his art principally to watch cases and snuff boxes and these were largely destined for the Chinese, Turkish, British and Italian markets. In 1828 he was in partnership with Aimé-Julien Troll (1781-1852) and one can find work signed «Richter et Troll». Richter, like other great enamel painters of the time, often found inspiration for his work from paintings or engravings by the artists then in fashion particularly Claude Vernet.
William Ilbery (ca. 1760-1839).Active in London from 1780 in Goswell Street, he moved to Duncan Terrace towards the end of the 18th century. Following James Cox in London and Jaquet Droz in Switzerland, he also specialised in the production of luxury watches for the Chinese Market. His early production was very much in the English style, featuring a full plate movement and an English type single wheel duplex escapement. However, for his highest quality watches, he incorporated a spring detent escapement. Later, the watch movements he produced were much inspired by the Lepine caliber with free-standing barrel, as were Jaquet Droz’s Swiss production signed in London and that of William Anthony, who worked in London. The cases of his watches were sumptuously decorated by the best Genevan enamelers, such as Jean-Francois-Victor Dupont, who usually signed his work, and Jean-Louis Richter, who signed rarely. He organized the production in Switzerland, mainly in Fleurier, of profusely engraved movements for the Asian market. He was followed in this by makers such as Bovet and Juvet who also worked in Fleurier (Val de Travers). Ilbery can therefore be considered one of the most representative makers of ‘’Chinese’’ watches. He seems to have maintained close contacts with the continental trade since a watch signed ‘’Ilbery Paris’’ is known and Ilbery & Son are recorded in London and Fleurier, as well as in Canton.
Timepieces have long been gifts of predilection. Symbols of power, of knowledge, messengers of culture, tokens of friendship, and guages of peace, they never failed to astonish and to please. When the first diplomatic relations with China were established, during the reign of King Louis IX of France (1214-1270), animated pieces had their role to play. In 1253 Louis dispatched an ambassador to Manghu Khan, the Grand Khan of Tartary. This was the epoch of the great Mongol incursions which swept over Russia as far as Kiev, and southward as far as Poland and Hungary. An account of the voyage by the King’s ambassador, Guillaume de Rubruquis, a Flemish priest and traveler, is conserved in the British Museum. Originally in Latin, it was translated into English in 1629 and into French in 1839. This document states that among the prisoners of the Tartars at Karakarum was a certain Guillaume Boucher, a skilled goldsmith from Lyon who won the favor of the emperor of Tartary by constructing for him a monumental and marvelous automaton. Four silver lions lay at the foot of a great tree with boughs bearing silver leaves and fruits, and mare’s milk flowing from their half-opened jaws. On the inside, four conduits rose to the top of the tree and descended in the form of gilded serpents. Out of their mouths ran precious liqueurs to fill silver vessels. At the top, an angel sounded a trumpet when the cupbearer gave the order to pour out the draught. The apparatus was activated by means of a bellows worked by a man hidden in the base of the tree. Servants replenished nearby reservoirs with the liqueurs for the respective conduits.
Very fine and important, gold and enamel, pearl-set, snuff box with a concealed watch and automaton. Case with three compartments: the central compartment for the snuff, having a lid decorated with a finely painted basket of flowers within a half pearl border. The side compartments with spring-loaded covers, the left one for the automata and the right one for the watch, both covered with predominantly royal blue translucent enamel over ‘sunburst’ engine-turning with borders in white enamel and half pearls, the sides en suite. The bottom painted with a butterfly with open wings in translucent red enamel against royal blue translucent enamel, the same as on the sides, over engine-turning. Under the left lid is an automaton pastoral scene with a shepherdess raising and lowering her hand, feeding a lamb which moves its head up and down; in the front a grazing sheep nods its head and a dog with animated head drinks from a stream running from the mill, with turning waterwheel and a small waterfall simulated by a twisted glass rod. All figures in multicolores gold and silver, set polychrome enamel painted scene over gold. Under the right lid is the watch.

Abox of identical shape, with identical automaton and watch movements, was in the Pierpont Morgan Collection, described in the catalogue under No. 85, and is now in the Metropolitan Museum of New York. Another one is preserved in the Sandoz Collection, described by Alfred Chapuis and Edmond Droz in ‘Les Automates’, plate VII and p.180.
Piguet & Capt (active between 1802 and 1811) Specialised in the production of complicated watches, musical and/or automaton scenes incorporated into watches, snuff-boxes or objects. Among the first in Geneva to use the musical mechanism with pinned cylinder and tuned teeth comb. From Ventôse 16, An X (March 7, 1802), to 1811, Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841) formed a partnership with Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841), who was from the same village - Le Chenit - as he in the Vallée de Joux. Their signature was Piguet & Capt. In 1811, when Piguet broke off to join Philippe-Samuel Meylan (1772-1845) in a new partnership, Henry-Daniel Capt continued to work on his own until, in 1830, he went into partnership with Aubert and Son, Place Bel-Air. Their signature was Aubert & Capt. They were among the first Genevan makers to produce watches with chronograph. In 1844, the workshop was at 108, rue Neuve in Geneva. It was then managed by Capt’s son, Henry Capt Jr. After a short time it moved to 85, rue de la Fusterie, and in 1851, to 177, rue du Rhône. In 1880, the firm was bought by Gallopin and its name became H. Capt Horloger, Maison Gallopin Successeurs, a trademark registered on November 1, 1880, under the No. 44. This signature was only used for watches retailed in their own store, the watches supplied to other retailers being merely signed Henry Capt. Henry-Daniel Capt, along with Isaac-Daniel Piguet and Philippe-Samuel Meylan, was the foremost maker of small musical automata in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Most of his work is not signed, although he sometimes scratched his name on his movements.

Property of a Swiss ladyWith a production span of slightly more than 10 years (1993-2002), it is estimated that approximately 100 pieces were made per year, in all types of metal. With a beautifully proportioned perpetual calendar featuring a retrograde date (it took some time for the market to truly appreciate this technical feat, later adopted on reference 5016 as well), it was bound to become a classic. This yellow gold example has been kept in very good condition with crisp hallmarks to the case and complete with its original certificate and extra caseback. Probably one of the most underappreciated perpetual calendars made by the firm.

Omega, Ref. ST 145.012, “Speedmaster Professional”, with orange chronograph hand, so-called “Ultraman”
Recognisable among all “Speedmasters” thanks to its orange chronograph hand, the “Speedmaster” reference 145.012 takes its name from the hero of the Japanese television series Ultraman, created by the Japanese director Eiji Tsuburaya (1901-1970) –co-creator of the original series Godzilla –, probably a watch collector himself because many of his creations featured a lot of interesting watches. Indeed, during the episode “The Return of Ultraman” released in 1971, this model of “Speedmaster” had made its appearance in the series.
Similar to a traditional “Speedmaster”, however, this watch had an orange central hand, matching the outfits of the scientific team behind the hero Ultraman.
The reference 145.012 was manufactured in 1968 in approximately 3 000 pieces; the number of “Speedmaster” “Ultraman” remains unknown to this day, although very limited.Unconfirmed, it is said that less than 50 “Ultraman” watches are identified.
With the introduction of “Ultraman” “Speedy Tuesday” limited edition in the summer of 2018, interest in vintage “Ultraman” “Speedmasters” has increased considerably.
The model presented is preserved in a very good condition. Equipped with the famous confirming the presence of the orange chronograph hand.

While the Speedmaster 145.022 was produced during the 80’s, they kept some of the characteristics from earlier models such as the copper-coloured movement caliber 861, before being changed to newer yellow-colour caliber towards the end of its production. This possibly unique example bears a pre-test dial that is unseen in any production pieces. White in color and featuring a black sub-dial ring, a similar dial in look was finally produced in 1997 for the 40th Anniversary Speedmaster made in 500 pieces for the Italian market. Like most of these test series it is likely that it was made as a test dial and was never launched for the general public until years later. Still featuring its original blue caseback sticker one the case, the movement has no serial number meaning an extract from the archives will not be available.

Launched in 1997 for the Japanese market and made in only 40 examples, this particular example bears the number 00/40. Featuring a test dial with simply an inner white ring, the production version featured a black outer ring as well as black sub-dials. The movement itself does not bear a number indicating that this example was never meant to be sold or commercialised. Never having appeared at auction, it is a unique opportunity to acquire an amazing Speedmaster featuring a dial never seen before. Please note that due to the watch never meaning to be sold to the public, the watch has no movement number and therefore an extract from the archives will not be available.

This example is made even more desirable by the fact that the case is in pink gold combined with a very attractive copper-coloured engraved dial and fancy double indexes. It is the first pink gold version we have ever offered at auction, a true connaisseur’s watch.

Often the gift of choice for partners, dignitiaries or just friends of the Sultan, a wide variety of watches were given ranging from sport models to Day-Dates. According to our research, examples featuring his majesty’s signature were often references 1802 and sometimes the bark-finish reference 1807. Examples such as this one in white gold are exceptionally rare and it is the first example we have had the chance to offer.

Property of the original Spanish owner While the 1680 Submariner needs no further introduction since its launch in 1969, the red Submariner is a classic Submariner that is now part of most important collectors, While later versions are relatively common, these early examples featuring a meter first dial represent a very small percentage of the total red sub production. Combined with a beautifully aged, incredibly uniform, tropical dial (these were often replaced at Rolex service centers making them even less common), this color-change is only found on mark 2 and 3 dials. This example consigned by the original Spanish owner still comes with its original outer box featuring the 1680/a/b sticker on the box and displays a beautiful case with well pronounced bevels as well as a mint tropical dial that shows no chips or defects and accompanied with its original Rolex 9315/280 folded bracelet.

Property of a Swiss collectorThis model of Ref. 6541 was specially made with an inclined polished bezel for the American market instead of a graduated black revolving bezel, to avoid confusion between the Milgauss and Submariner models.
The Milgauss was introduced in 1954 for use in high magnetic fields. It was primarliy created for people working on scientific experiments or in power stations, who would need a watch that remained accurate in conditions of work where high magnetic fields existed.
The watch’s distinctive name was derived from the French word ‘Mille’, meaning thousand, and ‘Gauss’, which is a measurement of magnetic induction. Magnetic fields affected the balance workings of a watch. A normal watch will become erratic at 60 oersted and cease to fundtion at around 100 oersted. The Milgauss had anti-magnetic alloys in parts of its movement, which was encased by an iron shield, thereby enabling the watch to remain accurate in fields of over 1000 oersted. At the time of its launch the Milgauss was considered a marvel of horological engineering. Not only did the watch function perfectly when subjected to a magnetic field of 1000 oersted (its guaranteed limit), but it could also remain accurate at 5000 oersted. In fact, even after being placed in such powerful magnetic fields, the residual magnetism in the watch’s workings was insufficient to affect its accuracy. It would seem that none of the Milgauss models were ever great sellers. The Milgauss had a small professional market, and its other buyers would probably have just liked the look of this large-case watch, and never required its unique anti-magnetic features. The Milgauss was finally withdrawn from the Rolex catalog in 1988, although for a short time afterward it was still available as a special order piece. In 2007, Rolex reintroduced the updated and evolved Milgauss; now its target market is listed as «medical imaging».
This beautifully preserved example has a wonderful aged tropical dial and is the rare version that does not feature the word «Milgauss» on the dial. The owner purchased an extra revolving bezel that allows the wearer to have both versions of the 6541, one of the most iconic sports watches ever made by Rolex.

The reference 6036 Antimagnetic chronograph with triple date was produced in few examples from 1958 to the early 1960s in yellow, pink gold and very few in stainless steel, with various dial designs and hand shapes. The ref. 6036 and 6236 are known among collectors as the ‘Jean-Claude Killy.’ Mr. Killy was an internationally renowned world ski champion in the 1960s and remains as the classy ambassador of Rolex in numerous advertising campaigns. The main difference between the 6236 and the 6036 is that the 6236 has a three body case and the 6036 has a two body case. Examples featuring the retailer’s name on the dial are very rare such as this watch sold through the famed retailed Serpico Y Laino in Caracas Venezuela.
TIn the mid-1970’s, as the arrival of quartz watches harmed the Swiss watch industry, the great manufacturers reacted late by launching new models of watches made by young designers.
These watches are disruptive, informal and casual! Their stylistic codes go against everything we’ve seen before. These are high-class sports watches with integrated bracelets, which are a radical break from the traditional wristwatches of these important houses.
Audemars Piguet launches its “Royal Oak”, Patek Philippe its “Nautilus”, IWC its “Ingenieur SL”; all three designed by Gérald Genta (1931-2011), a Genevan designer jeweller. In 1977, to celebrate its 222nd Anniversary, Vacheron Constantin launched its “222”, designed by Jorg Hysek, a young German designer (born in 1953): a thin «tonneau»shaped case, with a rounded bezel and a tiny cross of Malta encrusted at 5 o’clock.
The “222” is produced in different versions:
· Ø 37 mm., with a self-winding movement with date at 3 o’clock, made on the basis of Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 920 (also used for the “Nautilus” and the “Royal Oak”);
· Ø 34 mm., with a self-winding movement with date at 3 o’clock (a derivative of the previous movement of the Manufacture of Le Sentier);
· Ø 25 mm., with quartz movement.
The “222” is available in different materials and is, in fact, produced in very small quantities:
· steel (less than 520 examples);
· gold and steel (less than 150 examples);
· all gold (less than 150 examples).
Manufactured for only 7 years, it will be replaced in 1984 by the “333”, a rectangular evolution that will last only 2 years.
Like the “Royal Oak” and the “Nautilus”, the “222” is now an icon of watchmaking from the 1970’s.

The case of the GERARD MERCATOR TIMEPIECES was inspired by the «Géographique» line launched at the end of the 1940’s. The different dials of the «Mercator» watches represent the American Continent, and/or Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia and were inspired by a map drawn in 1587 by Gerardus Mercator, the famous cartographer and humanist. Produced by Belgian enamellers Lucie and Jean Genbrugge (who also collaborated in the design of the mechanism to control the hour and minute hands), it was carefully laid out by hand with extremely fine gold thread and then enameled in many layers .This is a tedious and time consuming process, which requires extremely skilled hands.

This watch is from a small series of watches made in the late 1990s. Since 1994, Vacheron Constantin has sought to showcase the various specialized applied arts used in watchmaking, the «Métiers d’Art». One of the most important of these is the art of dial making, and specifically the decoration of the dial. The art of enamel was featured when Vacheron Constantin commemorated the 400th anniversary of the death of Gérard Mercator in 1994, with the famous «Mercator» series of watches with painted on enamel, cloisonné and champlevé enamel dials. The success of the Mercator series encouraged the firm to continue to produce small series of watches with enamel dials, including the «Audubon» series, of which this watch is an example. The dials of these watches were inspired by the drawings of John James Audubon (1785-1851), well-known American naturalist and painter.

Founded in 1875 by two watchmakers, Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet, aged 24 and 22 respectively, under the name “Audemars Piguet, Manufacture d?Horlogerie”. Jules Audemars was born in Le Brassus in 1851, where he was trained under master watchmakers of the area. After his apprenticeship, Jules Audemars began work as a “repasseur” until 1874, then settling in Gimel and opening a small business. He did not obtain the success he had hoped, probably due to the recession which was then beginning, and eighteen months later he decided to return to Le Brassus, looking for a new situation more in keeping with his exceptional watchmaking skill. Edward Auguste Piguet, born two years after Jules Audemars, received a similar education. Edward completed his formation as a “repasseur” under Charles Capt. The two met in 1875 in Le Brassus. For a time, the two watchmakers worked closely together without legally recognizing their partnership. Then, the Audemars Piguet company was officially founded, in 1889. Nevertheless, a brand was registered at the “Office technique de l?Edition et de la Publicité” in Bern, on December, 6, 1882, for movements and watch cases. In the records, Audemars Piguet & Cie is presented as a manufacture active all year long, employing 10 male employees. In 1880, they opened a branch in Geneva, where commercial possibilities were the greatest. Because of to his exceptional technical abilities, Jules Audemars was the technical manager of the manufacture. He patented several inventions in Switzerland and in the USA, and traveled extensively, particularly to America, where he was fascinated by the potential for trade. Edward Piguet was the financial specialist of the firm. The two men managed the company together until 1918, when Jules Audemars died at the age of 67. Edward Piguet died the following year. Certain of their models became symbolic of the skill and technique of Audemars Piguet. One of them, a minute-repeating, perpetual calendar, split-seconds chronograph pocket watch, was presented at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1889. They also opened stores in Paris, London, Berlin and New York. They made watches of different styles: French, English, German and American, which was a most efficient strategy. They took part in several important exhibitions and fairs. Around 1915, the company started to manufacture wristwatches, which were very fashionable, though still continuing the production of traditional and complicated pocket watches. They made many repeating watches. In 1920, after the death of the two founders, Audemars Piguet created the smallest minute repeating watch, and, in 1911, the 10??? movement. Audemars Piguet products were sold in Le Brassus, Geneva, London, Paris, Berlin and New York. The manufacture worked in collaboration with important importers and retailers all over the world. Their clients included, among others: Dent and Frodsham in London, Tiffany in New York, Cartier and Breguet in Paris, Bulgari in Rome, and Dürrstein in Glashütte and Dresden. After the New York Stock Exchange crash in 1929, Audemars Piguet, like other manufactures, lost a large part of their American clientele. 1932 was the worst year in the firm?s history. The manufacture remained the property of the Audemars Piguet families and their descendants. In 1933, the economic situation of the firm was already much improved, and at the beginning of WWII, the major part of the Audemars Piguet production was sold to USA. Later, seeing the strong interest from clients for skeleton wristwatches and pocket watches, Audemars Piguet included these among their standard production. They remain so today, as do their famous complicated pocket watches invented over 100 years ago.

Only a small group of Geneva-made gold and enamel pocket-knives with folding blades from the early 19th century is known. Some are built with or without a watch and additional complications, such as music and / or automata. The simplest type contains only a musical train wound by a slide; only one example is known with an automaton scene.
The example proposed here is remarkably compact for its complexity, incorporating a watch and a musical mechanism. This object is the second known of its kind. It is paired with the pocket-knife in the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva (Inv. S-316).
Western trade with China gradually opened up after the arrival of the Jesuits in the 16th century. Father Mateo Ricci was allowed to enter the Forbidden City in Beijing with chiming clocks as a gift for the Emperor in 1600. The Portuguese commercial port of Macao (founded in 1514) and the warehouses (hongs) later established by European merchant companies in Hong Kong provided a strong platform for trade with the Chinese market through the city of Guangzhou. Throughout these periods, the Chinese emperors and their courts were fascinated by European mechanical innovations, while the Europeans were fascinated by Chinese works of art.
At the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, in addition to watches and snuff-boxes sold in pairs, luxury miniature novelties, such as rings, pendants, pocket-knives with folding blades, etc., were very attractive to this wealthy clientele. These objects are often equipped with musical mechanisms and / or automata.
In 1796, Antoine Favre-Salomon (1734-1824) of Geneva invented a new device for mechanical music on tuned vibrating blades (or tuned tooth comb) driven by a pinned cylinder (pin-barrel); this invention made it possible to manufacture these miniature objects. Piguet & Capt (active between 1802 and 1811)
Specialised in the production of complicated watches, musical and / or automaton scenes incorporated into watches, snuff-boxes or objects. Among the first in Geneva to use the musical mechanism with pinned cylinder and tuned tooth comb. From Ventôse 16, An X (March 7, 1802), to 1811, Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841) formed a partnership with Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841), who was from the same village – Le Chenit – as he in the Vallée de Joux. Their signature was Piguet & Capt. In 1811, when Piguet broke off to join Philippe-Samuel Meylan (1772-1845) in a new partnership, Henry-Daniel Capt continued to work on his own until, in 1830, he went into partnership with Aubert and Son, Place Bel-Air. Their signature was Aubert & Capt. They were among the first Genevan makers to produce watches with chronograph. In 1844, the workshop was at 108, rue Neuve in Geneva. It was then managed by Capt’s son, Henry Capt Jr. After a short time it moved to 85, rue de la Fusterie, and in 1851, to 177, rue du Rhône. In 1880, the firm was bought by Gallopin and its name became H. Capt Horloger, Maison Gallopin Successeurs, a trademark registered on November 1, 1880, under the No. 44. This signature was only used for watches retailed in their own store, the watches supplied to other retailers being merely signed Henry Capt Henry-Daniel Capt, along with Isaac-Daniel Piguet and Philippe-Samuel Meylan, was the foremost maker of small musical automata in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Most of his work is not signed, although he sometimes scratched his name on his movements.
Piguet & Meylan (active between 1811 and 1828)
Both originally from the village of Le Chenit in the Vallée de Joux, Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841) and Philippe-Samuel Meylan (17721845) came to Geneva as young men, and formed a partnership, which lasted from 1811 to 1828. The company specialised in elaborate and beautifully decorated musical watches, including skeleton and automaton watches, and mechanical animals. The firm was established rue Jean Jacques Rousseau 45 in Geneva. After their association came to an end, both Piguet and Meylan continued for some time to work with their sons.
Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841)
Born in 1775 in Le Chenit in the Vallée de Joux. Isaac-Daniel Piguet was the son of Pierre-Moïse Piguet and Elisabeth Nicole. He married Jeanne-Françoise Capt around 1795, and around 1800 settled in Geneva with his family. Isaac-Daniel Piguet went into business with Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841), his brother-in-law, on February 10, 1802. The association between Piguet & Meylan came to an end in 1828. Piguet and his son David-Auguste Piguet established a new company, Piguet Père & Fils, located rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau 69. Isaac-Daniel Piguet died in Geneva, on January 20, 1841, at the age of 66.
Philippe-Samuel
Born on February 15, 1772, in Bas-du-Chenit in the Vallée de Joux. At 20 years of age, Philippe-Samuel Meylan came to Geneva where he was a master worker for the Godemar brothers. He met another watchmaker from his native region, Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841), and they entered into partnership, founding the Piguet & Meylan firm, which was to last from 1811 to 1828. It specialized in minute cadratures, musical watches, skeleton and automaton watches. Meylan is also credited with the invention of the Bagnolet calibre. After Piguet & Meylan was dissolved, he continued to work with his sons François and Auguste. Philippe-Samuel Meylan died in Geneva in 1845.

Patek Philippe Museum, Geneva (Inv. S-316)
The representation of a scarlet rose bulb is reminiscent of the female symbol of the vulva of the vagina. It should be remembered that from the 18th century to the present day, the symbolism that associates female virginity with a floral imagination, and more particularly with the motif of the wilting rose, is omnipresent in literature and painting. This object is therefore a floral metaphor inherent in the term defloration. It is therefore easy to imagine that its maker saw it as a gift from a lover to his mistress after the completion of the sexual act; the rose having bloomed!
For more information, we refer the reader to the work of Pauline Mortas, PhD student in contemporary history (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne - Université Toulouse Jean-Jaurès) and to her online publication: “Des femmes et des fleurs, Représenter la perte de la virginité.” (Women and flowers, Representing the loss of virginity; November 16, 2019).
He became apprenticed in Geneva at the age of 12, learning the crafts of case-maker, engine-turner, watchmaker, jeweller, and gem-setter. He was barely nineteen years old when he signed his first watch. In 1797, Bautte took as partner the case-maker Moulinié; in 1804 they were joined by watchmaker Jean Gabriel Moynier, the name of the company becoming first Moulinié, Bautte & Co., then Moulinié, Bautte & Moynier. In the early 19th century, Bautte was Geneva’s most important dealer.

Out of all watches, examples with cloisonne enamel dials are often the most collectible due to their rarity but also rarity due to their inherent complexity. Square examples made by Rolex and enamel dials are extremely rare (only four known) and this example featuring a coat of arms is the only one known if its kind.
REF. 9548, ENAMEL CLOISONNE DIAL, YELLOW GOLD
Extremely rare and fine 18k yellow gold manual winding wristwatch with enamel cloisonné dial representing a coat-of-arms. with an 18k yellow gold Rolex / Gay Frères Oyster riveted bracelet. Reference
Made as a replacement for the previous Big Crown Submariner reference 6538, the 5510 was similar in all points to its previous model. Made for only 1 year, the 5510 retained the large 8mm Brevet crown and was equipped with a 2-line dial with the depth printing in silver. This example has a beautiful patinated brown-coloured dial, matching patina to the hands and indexes, its original bezel and insert and matching year stamped on the bracelet. A very beautiful example of the 5510 Submariner.

Purchased new at Gioieleria Ottorino in Cremona in 1985, the watch has remained in unworn condition. The case shows no polish with deep mint crisp hallmarks, its caseback sticker still in place with the reference number clearly visible and its bracelet extremely tight. Being an R serial, this Cosmograph was produced towards the end of the production of manual Daytonas and to find one in this exceptional state of conservation is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The Rolex 6241 had a very short production span making it a transitional model between the pump pushers and the later development of screw-down pushers. Featuring a beautiful contrasting black and white Paul Newman dial that has aged wonderfully with time turning the Daytona writing and the outer red scale into a mellow light red color similar to early red Submariners or double red Seadwellers.

In 1977, to celebrate its 222nd Anniversary, Vacheron Constantin launched its “222”, designed by Jorg Hysek, a young German designer (born in 1953): a thin «tonneau»-shaped case, with a rounded bezel and a tiny cross of Malta encrusted at 5 o’clock.
The “222” is produced in different versions:
· Ø 37 mm., with a self-winding movement with date at 3 o’clock, made on the basis of Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 920 (also used for the “Nautilus” and the “Royal Oak”);
· Ø 34 mm., with a self-winding movement with date at 3 o’clock (a derivative of the previous movement of the Manufacture of Le Sentier);
· Ø 25 mm., with quartz movement.
The “222” is available in different materials and is, in fact, produced in very small quantities:
· steel (less than 520 examples);
· gold and steel (less than 150 examples);
· all gold (less than 150 examples).
Manufactured for only 7 years, it will be replaced in 1984 by the “333”, a rectangular evolution that will last only 2 years.
This example reference 44518 is part of the diamond-set 222 series and was produced according to the Vacheron Constantin in 1978. While the gold version was only produced in 150 examples, the version with the bezel and partial bracelet are extremely rare, only a few examples have appeared on the market as of today.

La présente vente aux enchères est une vente aux enchères publique tenue par la maison Antiquorum Genève SA (ci-après : Antiquorum).
La participation à la vente aux enchères et/ou l’achat d’un quelconque lot implique une adhésion totale à tous les droits et obligations découlant des présentes Conditions de vente.
Les Avis Importants contenus dans ce catalogue sont considérés comme partie intégrante des Conditions de vente. Sauf en cas d’amendement effectués à la seule et entière discrétion d’Antiquorum, par affichage d’avis ou par annonce orale pendant la vente aux enchères ou de tout autre manière, ces Condition de vente, les Avis Importants, ainsi que le contenu du catalogue constituent une description complète des conditions générales par lesquelles la vente aux enchères est conduite, et ne pourront être amendées, à l’exception d’une décision écrite d’Antiquorum. Sauf décision écrite contraire d’Antiquorum, ces Conditions de vente s’appliqueront aux ventes aux enchères ainsi qu’aux autres ventes conduites par Antiquorum. Antiquorum agit exclusivement comme mandataire et n’assume donc aucune responsabilité quelconque en cas de manquement(s) des acquéreurs et/ ou vendeurs.
Ces mêmes conditions sont applicables à toute transaction en relation à des pièces ou des lots faisant partie de la vente aux enchères et conclue en dehors de celle-ci.
La vente aux enchères est conduite par un Huissier judiciaire de la république et du canton de Genève (ci-après : l’Huissier). L’Huissier lira les clauses essentielles avant le commencement des enchères.
Les présentes conditions sont à disposition de tous intéressés. Elles sont affichées dans le local des ventes pendant la durée de la vente. Seule la présente version française des Conditions de vente fait foi.
Les lots pourront être examinés avant la vente aux heures listées dans le catalogue. Toutes personnes intéressées à l’achat d’un quelconque lot, dont notamment les représentants et les agents d’affaire sont réputés avoir examiné avec soins tous les lots achetés et les avoir acceptés dans leur état au moment de l’adjudication, et non nécessairement tels que décrits dans des communications écrites ou orales. Ces personnes intéressées devront être responsable d’un examen personnel des lots afin de confirmer leur condition actuelle. Tous les lots sont vendus « tel quel » selon leur état au moment de l’adjudication. Chaque acquéreur déclare accepter qu’il est de sa responsabilité d’inspecter chacun des lots avant d’enchérir et par la présente déclare que les montants enchéris sont basés uniquement sur leur inspection et leur évaluation indépendantes des lots.
Antiquorum a inclus dans le catalogue des estimations de la valeur des lots mis en vente. Ces estimations ont été faites à la suite d’avis d’experts, de tests et d’autres méthodes qu’Antiquorum a jugé à son entière discrétion comme appropriées selon les circonstances. Antiquorum n’encourra cependant aucune responsabilité en vertu d’une quelconque cause concernant les estimations de la valeur des lots. Chaque participant aux Enchères sera responsable de procéder à sa propre estimation de la valeur des lots mis en vente. Ni Antiquorum, ni les vendeurs ne pourront être tenus responsables d’erreurs ou d’omission dans le catalogue ou toute publicité ou autre matériel écrit, étant précisé qu’aucune description ou déclaration ne constitue une garantie d’aucune sorte, et n’est donné qu’à titre indicatif.
Sauf indication contraire dans le catalogue, les lots sont soumis à des prix de réserve, soit des prix minimum confidentiels auxquels les vendeurs sont prêts à vendre. Si le prix
de réserve n’est pas atteint, l’Huissier pourra retirer le lot de la vente. L’Huissier pourra ouvrir l’enchère d’un lot en enchérissant sous le prix de réserve pour le compte du vendeur. L’Huissier pourra également enchérir pour le compte du vendeur jusqu’à concurrence des prix de réserve fixés, par des enchères successives ou consécutives pour un lot, ou par des enchères en réponse aux autres enchérisseurs.
À l’exception de la garantie limitée décrite au point 2 ci-dessous, tous les lots sont vendus sans aucune garantie ou déclaration expresse ou implicite de la part d’Antiquorum ou du vendeur quant à la qualité marchande, l’utilisation particulière, la rareté, l’importance, l’exactitude des indications concernant l’auteur, le fabricant, l’origine, époque, âge, attribution, authenticité, la provenance, le poids ou l’état d’un objet. De même, aucune déclaration (qu’elle soit orale ou écrite, faite dans le catalogue, une publicité, un acte de vente, publiée, annoncée ou d’autre façon) faite par un employé ou un agent d’Antiquorum ne pourra être interprétée comme étant une garantie, une déclaration ou une assomption de responsabilité. Ni Antiquorum ni le vendeur ne sera responsable de la détérioration ou du défaut d’un quelconque lot.
(i) Presque toutes les horloges et montres ont subi des réparations et des révisions au cours de leur durée de vie et peuvent donc éventuellement comporter des pièces qui ne sont pas d’origine. Nous ne garantissons pas l’authenticité d’un élément composant une montre ou une horloge. Les horloges peuvent être vendues sans pendules, poids ou clés.
(ii) Comme les montres et horloges de collection ont souvent des mécanismes très fins et complexes, une révision, un changement de pile ou d’autres travaux de réparation peuvent être nécessaires, dont vous êtes responsable. Nous ne garantissons pas le bon fonctionnement d’une montre ou d’une horloge. Les certificats
ne sont pas disponibles sauf s’ils sont décrits dans le catalogue.
(iii) La plupart des montres ont été ouvertes pour constater le type et la qualité du mouvement. Pour cette raison, les montres avec boîtiers étanches peuvent ne pas être étanches et nous vous recommandons de les faire vérifier par un horloger compétent avant utilisation.
(i) Les gemmes de couleur (telles que les rubis, les saphirs, les émeraudes…) peuvent avoir été traitées pour améliorer leur apparence, par des méthodes comme le chauffage et l’huilage. Ces méthodes sont acceptées par le commerce international de la bijouterie mais peuvent fragiliser la gemme et/ou nécessiter des soins particuliers au fil du temps.
(ii) Tous les types de pierres précieuses peuvent avoir été améliorés par une méthode quelconque. Nous n’obtenons pas de rapport d’analyse gemmologique pour chaque pierre précieuse vendue dans nos enchères. Lorsque nous recevons des rapports d’analyse gemmologiques de laboratoires de gemmologie reconnus internationalement, ces rapports seront décrits dans le catalogue. En raison des différences d’approche et de technologie, les laboratoires peuvent ne pas être d’accord si une pierre précieuse particulière a été traitée, la quantité de traitement ou si le traitement est permanent. Les laboratoires de gemmologie ne feront rapport que sur les améliorations ou traitements connus des laboratoires à la date du rapport.
(iii) Pour les ventes de bijoux, les estimations sont basées sur les informations contenues dans tout rapport d’analyse gemmologique ou, si aucun rapport n’est disponible, supposent que les pierres précieuses peuvent avoir été traitées ou améliorées. Tout lot vendu aux enchères peut être affecté par les lois sur les exportations du pays dans lequel il est vendu et les restrictions à l’importation de d’autres pays. De nombreux pays exigent une déclaration
d’exportation pour les biens quittant le pays et/ ou une déclaration d’importation à l’entrée des biens dans le pays. Les lois locales peuvent vous empêcher d’importer un lot ou vous empêcher de vendre un lot dans le pays où vous l’importez. Sachez que l’or de moins de 18ct n’est pas considéré dans tous les pays comme de l’”or” et peut donc parfois être refusé à l’importation dans ces pays sous l’appellation « or ».
Sauf stipulation contraire du paragraphe suivant, Antiquorum garantit que dès l’accomplissement de la vente d’un quelconque lot en vertu des Conditions de vente de ce catalogue, la propriété, les intérêts, et les droits de ce lot seront transmis à l’acquéreur libre de tout droit de tiers.
Antiquorum garantit pour une période d’une (1) année depuis la date de la vente que la paternité de chaque lot est conforme aux indications en caractères gras ou en lettres capitales de ce catalogue. Antiquorum ne donne aucune garantie d’aucune sorte, implicite ou expresse, concernant les descriptions d’un quelconque matériel du catalogue qui ne serait pas en caractères gras ou en lettres capitales. Antiquorum ne garantit pas que tous les composants d’une montre soient ses composants originels.
L’acquéreur ne disposera cependant d’aucune garantie si les descriptions contenues dans le catalogue correspondaient avec l’opinion dominante des spécialistes ou des experts au moment de la vente, ou que le catalogue indiquait qu’un conflit entre ces opinions existait.
La garantie est donnée pour une période d’une (1) année depuis la date de la vente aux enchères durant laquelle le lot a été acquis. Cette garantie n’est donnée qu’à l’acquéreur originel dont le nom est consigné au registre de ventes et n’est en aucun cas transférable. Pour l’exercice de la garantie concernant une description en caractères gras ou en lettres capitales, l’acquéreur originel devra (i) en informer Antiquorum par courrier recommandé dans les 7 jours suivant la prise de connaissance d’une quelconque information lui suggérant qu’il existe une imprécision dans les descriptions en caractères gras ou lettres capitales, en spécifiant le numéro de lot, la date de la vente aux enchères durant laquelle le lot fut acquis, ainsi que les raisons le poussant à douter desdites descriptions, et (ii) réexpédier le lot à Antiquorum à l’adresse à laquelle la vente a été effectuée, et ce dans les mêmes conditions qu’alors acquis, libre de tout droit de tiers postérieur à la vente.
Antiquorum pourra renoncer à l’une de ces exigences à son entière discrétion. Il est particulièrement compris et accepté que l’annulation de la vente et le remboursement du
prix de vente payé (le prix d’adjudication gagnant ainsi que la commission acheteur) est exclusive et en lieu et place d’un quelconque autre moyen de droit à disposition de l’acquéreur. Antiquorum et le vendeur n’assumeront aucune responsabilité pour toute perte ou dommage indirect de quelque nature que ce soit et pour quelque cause que ce soit, y compris les intérêts et le gain manqué, découlant de l’annulation de la vente. A l’exception de la garantie limitée décrite ci-dessus, Antiquorum et le vendeur ne donnent aucune garantie concernant les lots vendus en vertu des présentes Conditions de vente.
La vente sera conduite en français mais les enchères pourront être répétées en anglais. Le prix d’achat à payer par l’acquéreur sera constitué du prix d’adjudication final majoré de la commission acheteur, en sus de toute taxe de vente applicable. Au prix d’adjudication final s’ajoutera une commission acheteur de : 25% du prix d’adjudication de chaque lot jusqu’à concurrence de CHF 500’000.-, de 20% de CHF 500’001 à CHF 5’000’000 et de 12% à partir de CHF 5’000’001.
Antiquorum est en droit selon sa libre appréciation de retirer, de diviser ou grouper différemment les lots faisant partie de la vente ainsi que de refuser l’adjudication de n’importe lequel desdits lots, et n’encourra aucune responsabilité de ce fait. Antiquorum se réserve le droit de refuser selon sa libre appréciation toute offre d’enchères.
En cas de conflit ou de tout autre question liée aux enchérisseurs, l’Huissier pourra à sa seule discrétion déterminer l’enchérisseur gagnant, continuer les enchères, annuler la vente ou proposer de nouveau et remettre en vente l’article litigieux. Sa décision est consignée au le procès-verbal, lequel fait foi.
Le montant des surenchères est en règle général de 10%, l’Huissier pourra cependant modifier les surenchères à tout moment, à son entière discrétion. Le montant minimal d’enchères est communiqué durant la vente aux enchères.
L’enchérisseur qui agit pour le compte d’un tiers engage son entière responsabilité personnelle, en particulier en ce qui concerne les obligations contractées dans le cadre de la vente aux enchères.
Cette responsabilité s’étend notamment à la vérification de la qualité des lots achetés ainsi qu’au règlement ultérieur de la facture des lots acquis.
Bien qu’Antiquorum puisse à son entière discrétion exécuter des ordres d’enchères de personnes absentes (ordres d’enchères écrits laissés à disposition d’Antiquorum avant la vente) ou accepter des enchères par téléphone ou des enchères par internet à titre de commodité pour les clients non présents
lors de la vente, Antiquorum n’encourra aucune responsabilité en cas d’échec, d’erreur ou d’omission relatives à l’exécution d’un ordre d’enchères.
Les lots de haute valeur (identifiés par Antiquorum à son entière discrétion) peuvent, à moins d’un accord préalable, être enchéris seulement par les acheteurs potentiels qui ont rempli un formulaire d’enregistrement pour les lots considérés de haute valeur.
4. PAIEMENT
La propriété des lots devra être transmise dès la tombée du marteau de l’Huissier adjugeant le lot à l’enchérisseur gagnant, sous réserve du respect des présentes Conditions de vente par l’acquéreur, et notamment du paiement intégral du prix d’achat. L’acquéreur ne pourra révoquer son acceptation d’un quelconque lot postérieurement à la tombée du marteau de l’Huissier.
L’acquéreur accepte par la présente l’entier des risques et responsabilités liés au lot. L’acquéreur devra s’acquitter de l’entier du prix d’adjudication final, de la commission et de toute taxe, en Francs suisses, en utilisant une des méthodes de paiement considérée comme acceptable par Antiquorum (dont notamment la monnaie suisse, virement bancaire, bulletin de paiement).
Les devises étrangères pourront être acceptées au taux du jour déterminé par Antiquorum. Les lots ne seront livrés à l’acquéreur qu’une fois le prix d’achat intégralement versé. Les modalités d’emballage et d’expédition ainsi que les frais y afférant sont aux frais et aux risques de l’acquéreur. Une fois le paiement intégral effectué, Antiquorum pourra, en guise de service à l’acquéreur, faire emballer, assurer et expédier les lots acquis, sur demande et au seuls frais de l’acquéreur. Dans ce cas, l’acquéreur accepte l’entier des risques liés à l’emballage, la manutention ainsi qu’à l’expédition des lots. Antiquorum n’encourra aucune responsabilité pour toute perte ou dommage causé aux lots à cette occasion. Antiquorum pourra déplacer les lots acquis dans un site de stockage aux risques de l’acquéreur. L’acquéreur devra payer toutes les taxes applicables ou émoluments prélevés par toute autorité (à moins qu’Antiquorum ne reçoive des preuves qu’elle considère comme satisfaisantes de l’exemption).
La TVA de 7,7% est due sur tous les achats. La TVA sera entièrement remboursée sur présentation d’une déclaration d’exportation validée par l’administration fédérale des douanes suisse.
Il est expressément accepté que le vendeur ne recevra le paiement pour un lot qu’une fois qu’Antiquorum aura reçu le paiement intégral de l’acquéreur, dont notamment les commissions liées audit lot ainsi que les frais
administratifs et de manutention.
En cas d’incompatibilité d’une quelconque information ou disposition du catalogue avec les présentes Conditions de vente, seules les Conditions de vente feront foi. Si l’acquéreur reste en défaut avec les obligations découlant des présentes Conditions de vente, Antiquorum sera en droit de (en complément de tout autre moyen à disposition d’Antiquorum en vertu de la loi), (i) mettre en demeure l’acquéreur de payer le prix d’achat ; (ii) annuler la vente ; (iii) revendre le lot sans aucune réserve à la vente aux enchères ou par vente privée sur préavis dans les 7 jours à l’acquéreur ; (iv) payer au vendeur un montant égal au produit net de la vente selon le montant enchéri par l’acquéreur en défaut, et ensuite revendre le lot à un tiers sans aucune réserve à la vente aux enchères ou par vente privée dans les 15 jours sur préavis écrit à un tel acquéreur ; ou, (v) retourner le lot au vendeur, pour autant que 45 jours se soient écoulés et qu’aucun paiement n’ait été reçu de la part de l’acquéreur ; ou (vi) prendre toute autre mesure qu’Antiquorum jugera nécessaire ou appropriée.
En cas de revente du lot par Antiquorum en vertu de la clause (iii) ou (iv) cidessus, l’acquéreur en défaut sera tenu de payer toute différence négative entre le prix d’achat et le montant obtenu après revente, de même que tous frais et coûts, y compris d’administration, de manutention, d’assurance, de stockage, les dépenses liées aux deux ventes, honoraires d’avocats, commissions, dommages fortuits, ainsi que toute charge due selon les présentes Conditions de vente. Si l’acquéreur paie une portion du prix d’achat pour un ou tous les lots achetés, Antiquorum pourra attribuer le montant reçu au lot ou aux lots selon sa libre appréciation, tel que jugé approprié. Tout acquéreur en défaut avec les obligations découlant des présentes Conditions de vente sera réputé avoir conféré à Antiquorum un droit de gage sur la totalité des lots gardés par Antiquorum dont l’acquéreur est propriétaire, que ces lots soient destinés à la vente ou acquis avant, pendant et/ou après la présente vente aux enchères. Ce gage garantit le remboursement de tout montant dû en capital, intérêts, commissions et frais éventuels, de même que tout dommage supporté par Antiquorum. Antiquorum est autorisée, mais non obligée, à réaliser les gages sans autres formalités et sans préavis si l’acquéreur est en demeure pour le paiement de sa dette ou l’exécution d’une obligation quelconque. Antiquorum pourra
dans tous les cas réaliser les gages de gré à gré. A cet effet, elle n’est pas tenue d’observer les formalités prévues par la Loi fédérale sur la poursuite pour dette et la faillite; Antiquorum est libre en outre d’introduire ou de continuer une poursuite ordinaire, sans avoir préalablement réalisé les gages et sans renoncer pour autant à ceux-ci.
Le paiement ne sera considéré comme effectué intégralement qu’une fois qu’Antiquorum aura obtenu des fonds satisfaisants. En cas de défaut de l’acquéreur dans le paiement d’une partie ou de la totalité du prix d’achat pour un quelconque lot, et si Antiquorum choisi pour autant de payer au vendeur une partie du produit de la vente, l’acquéreur accepte qu’Antiquorum disposera de tous les droits du vendeur relatifs à la somme versée, selon la loi ou les présentes Conditions de vente. L’unique et exclusif moyen de droit de l’acquéreur à l’encontre d’Antiquorum et du vendeur consiste en l’annulation de la vente et au remboursement du prix payé pour le lot. L’acquéreur perd tout autre droit découlant de la loi, et Antiquorum ou le vendeur n’assumera aucune responsabilité pour une quelconque perte ou dommage subi par l’acquéreur.
La participation à la vente aux enchères, en personne ou au moyen d’un agent ou d’un représentant, par ordre d’enchères, téléphone, internet et ou tout autre moyen, implique l’adhésion totale de l’acquéreur à ce qui suit : ces Conditions de vente ainsi que tous les rapports juridiques qui en découlent seront soumis au Droit interne suisse exclusivement (en faisant abstraction des règles de conflit de loi et à l’exclusion des traités internationaux).

The auction is a public auction held by Antiquorum Genève SA (hereinafter “Antiquorum”) on behalf of the consignors of the lots being sold. A person’s participation in the auction and/or purchase of any lots constitutes an agreement to be bound by these Conditions of Sale as well as all rights and obligations arising therefrom.
The Important Notices contained in this catalogue are deemed to be a part of these Conditions of Sale and are hereby incorporated in their entirety into these Conditions of Sale. Except as amended by Antiquorum in its sole and absolute discretion by the posting of notices or oral announcement at the auction or otherwise, these Conditions of Sale together with the Important Notices and the other contents of this catalogue constitute a full recitation of the terms and conditions under which sales are conducted and may not be amended except in a writing acknowledged by Antiquorum.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Antiquorum these Conditions of Sale shall apply to auction sales as well as all other sales made by Antiquorum. Antiquorum accepts no responsibility for and shall not be liable for any defaults by any Buyers or Consignors. The auction is held by a Huissier Judiciaire of the Canton of Geneva (hereinafter “the Auctioneer”).
The Auctioneer reads the essential clauses at the start of the auction. These Conditions of Sale are available on request and are displayed in the sale room during the auction. The French version of these Conditions of Sale is the authoritative and binding text.
Before the sale, all lots may be examined at the exhibition times listed in the catalogue. All interested persons including, without limitation, bidder’s representatives and auction agents are understood to have examined all lots which they purchase and to accept them as they are at the moment of the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer and not necessarily as described in any written material or oral communications. Those persons interested in purchasing any of the lots being sold shall be responsible for examining the lots personally to confirm their actual condition. All lots are sold “as is” according to their condition at the moment of the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. Buyer acknowledges that it is the responsibility of buyer to fully inspect each lot before bidding and hereby represents that the amounts bid for any lot are based solely on buyer’s own independent inspection and evaluation of that lot.
Antiquorum has included in the catalogue estimates of the value of the lots to be sold. Such estimates have been developed using such experts, tests and other methods as Antiquorum has deemed in its sole discretion to be appropriate under the circumstances. Antiquorum shall have no liability whatsoever relating to estimates of value attributed to the lots and all participants in the auction shall be responsible for reaching their own conclusions as to the value of the lots. Neither Antiquorum nor the consignor is responsible for any errors and omissions in the catalogue or any advertisements or other written material, it being understood that any description or statement therein does not constitute a warranty or representation and is provided for identification purposes only.
Unless specified in the catalogue, lots are subject to reserve price which is a confidential minimum amount the consignor is willing to accept. If the reserve price is not reached, the Auctioneer may withdraw the lot from the sale.
The Auctioneer may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the consignor. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot, or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Except for the limited warranty, contained in section 2 below, all lots are sold without any representations or warranties by Antiquorum or the consignor as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, rarity, importance, the correctness of the catalogue or other description concerning the author, maker, origin, period, age, attribution, authenticity, provenance, weight or condition of any object. No statement (whether oral or written, made in the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, posting, announcement or elsewhere) whether made by any employee or agent of Antiquorum shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Neither Antiquorum nor the consignor have any responsibility whatsoever for any defect in or deterioration of any lot.
(i) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts which are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch or clock is authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.
(ii) As collectors’ watches and clocks often have very fine and complex mechanisms, a general service, change of battery or further repair work may be necessary, for which you are responsible. We do not give a warranty that any watch or clock is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue.
(iii) Most watches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, watches with water resistant cases may not be waterproof and we recommend you have
them checked by a competent watchmaker before use.
(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds….) may have been treated to improve their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted by the international jewellery trade but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care over time.
(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports will be described in the catalogue. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.
(iii) For jewellery sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.
Any lot sold at auction may be affected by laws on exports from the country in which it is sold and the import restrictions of other countries. Many countries require a declaration of export for property leaving the country and/or an import declaration on entry of property into the country. Local laws may prevent you from importing a lot or may prevent you selling a lot in the country you import it into. Be aware that gold of less than 18ct does not qualify in all countries as ‘gold’ and may be refused import into those countries as ‘gold’.
Except as otherwise provided in the paragraph immediately following, Antiquorum warrants that, upon the consummation of the sale of any lot under the terms and conditions contained in this catalogue, clear and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to such lot shall pass to the buyer. Antiquorum guarantees for a period of one (1) year from the date of sale that the authorship of each lot in this catalogue is as set out in the bold or capitalized type in the catalogue description of the lot. Antiquorum makes no warranties, whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any, material in the catalogue other than that appearing in the bold or capitalized heading subject to the exclusions below. Antiquorum does not guaranty that all component parts of any timepiece are original to the timepiece.
The guarantee does not apply if the catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion of generally accepted experts and specialists at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions. The guarantee is provided for a period of one (1) year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of record and is not transferrable. In the event of any claim by the original purchaser regarding a bold or capitalized provision, said purchaser must
(i) notify Antiquorum in writing within 7 days of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to question the accuracy of the bold or capitalized type heading, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and reasons for such question: and
(ii) return the lot to Antiquorum at the original selling location in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale.
Antiquorum has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid (the successful hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law, or in equity. Antiquorum and the consignor shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest. Other than the limited warranty and guarantee provisions above, Antiquorum and the consignor make no representations, warranties or guarantees regarding the lots sold hereunder.
The purchase price payable by a buyer will be the sum of the final bid price plus the buyer’s premium, together with any applicable sales or compensating use tax. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer’s premium is payable as follows: 25% of the hammer price on each lot up to and including CHF 500,000, 20% from CHF 500,001 to CHF 5,000,000 and 12% from CHF 5,000,001. Antiquorum may in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time withdraw, group differently or divide any lot included for sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for the same. Antiquorum reserves the right to refuse any bids in its full and absolute discretion. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or any other issue with respect to the bidder, the Auctioneer will have absolute discretion to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the article in dispute. His/her decision is recorded in the sale report which is conclusive.
Bidding shall generally be increased in increments of 10%, however, the Auctioneer may modify bidding increments from time to time at his/her absolute discretion. The minimum bid is communicated during the auction. Any person bidding for the account of a third party is fully liable for any obligation assumed by such person relating to the sale. This liability includes, without limitation, the verification of the condition and valuation of lots and the payment for lots purchased. Although Antiquorum, in its sole discretion, may execute absentee bids (written bids left with Antiquorum prior to sale) or accept telephone and internet bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at auction, Antiquorum is not responsible for failing to execute such bids or for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.
High value lots (identified by Antiquorum in its entire discretion) may, unless otherwise agreed, be bid for only by prospective Buyers who have completed pre-bidding registration for the high value lot category.
Title to the offered lot passes to the buyer upon the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer and the announcement by the Auctioneer that the lot has been sold, subject to compliance by the buyer with all other conditions of sale, including full payment as required hereunder. Buyer shall have no right to revoke acceptance of any lot after the fall of the hammer.
The buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot. The buyer shall immediately pay the full purchase price, buyer’s commission and all applicable sales and other taxes in Swiss francs using a method of payment acceptable to auctioneer (including Swiss currency, bank wire). Payment in foreign currencies is accepted at the
rates of exchange of the day of sale as determined by Antiquorum. Lots are delivered to the buyer only upon the full payment of all such amounts. Shipping and packing arrangements and charges are the sole responsibility of the buyer. After payment has been made in full, Antiquorum may, as a service to the buyer, arrange to have the purchased lots packed, insured and shipped at the buyer’s request and expense. In this event, the buyer agrees that all said packaging, handling and shipping is at the sole risk of the buyer and that Antiquorum shall have no liability for any loss or damage to the purchased lots. Antiquorum may move the property to an off-site storage at the risk of the buyer. Buyer will be required to pay all applicable taxes, or fees levied by any authority (unless Antiquorum receives satisfactory proof of exemption, to be determined in Antiquorum’s sole discretion).
A 7,7% VAT is applicable to each sale. VAT will be entirely refunded upon receipt of an export declaration validated by the Swiss Federal Customs Administration. It is expressly agreed that consignor shall only receive payment for a lot provided Antiquorum has received full payment from buyer, including such lost commissions and administrative and handling charges.
To the extent that any other information or provision set forth in this catalogue is inconsistent with the Conditions of Sale, the Conditions of Sale shall be controlling. If the buyer fails to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale, Antiquorum may (in addition to asserting all remedies available by law),
(i) hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price;
(ii) cancel the sale;
(iii) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer;
(iv) pay the consignor an amount equal to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting buyer and then resell the property to a third party without reserve at public auction or privately on fifteen (15) days written notice to such buyer; or
(v) return the lot to the consignor, provided fortyfive (45) days have elapsed and no payment has been received from buyer; or
(vi) take such other action as Antiquorum deems necessary or appropriate. If Antiquorum resells the property pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) above, the defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency between the purchase price and the price obtained upon resale and all costs and expenses, including administration, handling, insurance, warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder. In the event that such buyer pays a
The auction will be conducted in French but the bidding may be translated also into English.portion of the purchase price for any or all lots purchased, Antiquorum shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots as Antiquorum, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
Any buyer who fails to comply with these Conditions of Sale will be deemed to have granted Antiquorum a security interest in, and Antiquorum may retain as collateral security for such buyer’s obligation to it, any property in Antiquorum’s possession owned by such buyer. This security interest secures the principal amount of any such claim and also any outstanding or accruing interest, commissions, costs and all other fees as well as any and all damages suffered by Antiquorum. Antiquorum is entitled, but not obliged, to realize freely the security interests without further formalities and without previous notice to the buyer who is in default of payment on his debt or in the fulfilment of any other obligation hereunder. In any event, Antiquorum will be entitled to realise its security on a private treaty basis. For this purpose, Antiquorum is not bound to comply with the the formalities of the Federal Law dealing with actions for debt and bankruptcy proceedings ; in addition, Antiquorum may choose to institute or proceed with the usual proceedings witjout having beforehand sold the secured goods and without having moreover given up its rights to them.
Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Antiquorum has collected sufficient funds. In the event the buyer fails to pay any or all of the total purchase price for any lot and Antiquorum nonetheless elects to pay the consignor any portion of the sale proceeds, the buyer acknowledges that Antiquorum shall have all of the rights of the consignor to pursue the buyer for any amounts paid to the consignor, whether at law, in equity, or under these Conditions of Sale.
The buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Antiquorum and the consignor shall be the rescission of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot. This remedy shall be in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law, and neither Antiquorum nor the consignor shall be liable, in whole or in part, for any special, incidental or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits.
By bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by absentee bid, telephone, internet, or other means, the buyer shall be deemed to have consented to the following: this agreement shall be interpreted and enforced according to Swiss law by the Courts of the Canton of Geneva and the buyer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdictions of the Courts of Geneva, subject to appeal to the Swiss Federal Court, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement. The buyer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The buyer agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the buyer and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction the buyer is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment;
• No waiver, delay, modification or breach of any provision of this agreement by Antiquorum shall constitute a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision hereof.
• If any part or provision of this agreement is, for any reason, adjudged unenforceable, such adjudication shall in no way affect any other part or provision of this agreement or the validity or enforcement of the remainder of this agreement, and the part or provision affected shall be curtailed or altered only to the minimum extent necessary to make it conform to the applicable law.

With a view to always providing a higher standard of service to its clientele, Antiquorum has introduced a grading system within its auction catalogues, providing immediate and detailed information on the condition of each lot offered for sale.
With the assistance of the Antiquorum Grading System, clients will have immediate answers to their questions regarding the condition of each lot, and will no longer need to find the time to request condition reports. In addition, with the Experts’
The lots described in this catalogue have been carefully examined and valued by Antiquorum’s experts and watchmakers, taking into consideration the aesthetic, historical and technical interest, age and rarity, as well as the technology available at the time of production of each timepiece.
For such judgment to be as objective as possible, it must rest on a number of criteria, particularly with regards to the age of a lot. Indeed, a wristwatch of less than 50 years old cannot be judged with the same criteria as a Renaissance watch. This is the reason why some of the gradings will only qualify for certain types of watches and will never be used for others.
For example, if, as a general rule, watches can be attributed gradings from 1 to 4 for the case, the dial and the movement, watches of less than 100 years old can be given grading 1 (as new), 3 (in very good condition), or 4 (in good condition). The latter, (grading 4), will be followed by one or more grading numbers to justify why the lot cannot be considered
Overall Opinion, clients will benefit from the advice of Antiquorum’s experts as each lot is given a grade based on its overall appreciation.
Although every effort has been made to remain objective, clients are nonetheless advised that any grading or condition report will, of necessity, be subjective.
Clients are reminded that all statements made in the Antiquorum Grading System, in the Experts’ Overall Opinion or in any other
“in very good condition”. On the other hand, watches over 100 years old, of similar condition, would indeed be considered as “very good” because of their age and would therefore qualify for grading 3. Needless to say, watches over 100 years old, even in the best state of conservation for their age, are unlikely to ever be considered “as new” and would therefore never be eligible for grading 1; for this reason, we have introduced grading 2 (in perfect condition).
At the end of each lot description, before the estimate, you will find a condition report box, with letters and numbers, divided into 3 sections: these are the grades given to the lot with reference to the condition of its case, its dial and hands, and its movement. To und erstand the grades shown in the condition report box, consult the Antiquorum Grading System as follows:
C for the CASE , followed by one or more numbers = condition of case
condition report for any lot, are provided for information only and should not be considered as a guarantee of any sort.
Such information is given as an opinion for which Antiquorum cannot be held responsible. Furthermore, Antiquorum cannot be held responsible for any misrepresentations or incomplete information regarding the condition of any lot.
D for the DIAL (& hands), followed by one or more numbers = condition of dial & hands
M for the MOVEMENT, followed by one or more numbers = condition of movement
Next to this condition report box, is an experts’ grading box featuring one letter, from to B, as an overall grade. This overall grade is the opinion of Antiquorum’s experts, as a global appreciation of the lot, based on its general condition, quality, technical and historical interest, age and rarity. On this basis, it must be understood that a very early timepiece, a prototype or a watch featuring a rare escapement, although it may be in a mediocre state of conservation, even re-cased or lacking its dial, can qualify for gradings AAA or even
To understand the grade shown in the experts’ grading box, consult the Experts’ Overall Opinion.
Potential buyers should be aware that all water-resistant/water-proof watches have been opened and as such buyers should have the watch inspected in regards to these attribute. A watch’s current state of resistance is NOT reflected in the condition report.
