Following this heavy heritage, few of the limited editions bring such envy and excitement to collectors as the Apollo Soyuz. Indeed, in July 1975 the USA and the Soviet Union, putting aside their political conflicts, carried out jointly the first international space mission. This was one of the strongest symbol of “détente” during the Cold War. Few months later, the famous Omega Italian dealer, Fratelli De Marchi, ordered a limited edition of 500 Speedmaster timepieces to commemorate this major event, numbered xxx from 0 to 499. The ApolloSoyuz series were based on the legendary 145.022 –which was the first Speedmaster to use the caliber 861, which replaced the revered caliber 321 from the very first models – but featured a slightly modified case and a dial personalized with the Apollo-Soyuz logo. De Marchi became responsible for the whole distribution of Omega watches throughout Italy in 1921. Even if their partnership ended in 1970s, it is milestone in the watchmaking history, since this retailer was originally behind the very firstlimited series in steel in the brand history.

Known to collector’s as the Barracuda, the Master Mariner was another version of the continued development of dive watches after the famous Polaris, the first automatic dive watch with alarm. According to the manufacture, the “Deep Sea” was made in 1500 examples between about 1967 to 1971. Featuring a date and a second crown for the inner revolving bezel, the case was made by EPSA (Eugene Piquierez S.A.) which supplied most of the diving watches at the time.

Known to many collectors as the reference 325, this model is actually the birth of the line and is considered the original Portuguese. According to IWC, the watch line was created when a Portuguese client requested a wristwatch with the same accuracy and size as a pocket watch and in response the first Portuguese watch was created. Interestingly, most of these early examples were delivered to Eastern Europe, probably due to many restrictions linked to World War II, and this example in particular was sold to Vienna. While there are 3 generations accepted by collectors of reference 325, this is part of the first generation and according to IWC was only made in 304 pieces and is one of the most important IWC wristwatches ever manufactured.

Heuer, “Bundeswehr”, so-called “The Bund”
T he Bundeswehr has been the national army of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) since 1955. This chronograph was used in the pilot squadrons of the FRG Air Force. This watch was very much appreciated by pilots of all nationalities, particularly those of NATO, and many of them, both American and foreign, stationed on German bases, wanted to be equipped with it.
A small series of this chronograph was produced for this purpose, without the mention “3 H” on the dial (at 6 o’clock), and sold in the PX boutiques of the NATO air bases in Germany.
Affectionately nicknamed “The Bund”, in reference to its original assignment, this chronograph was a much appreciated bar gaining chip for the military forces engaged in the Red Flag exercises and between 1970 and 1980 many meritorious pilots were awarded it.

Just like the Patek Philippe «Nautilus» and the Audemars Piguet «Royal Oak», the IWC «Ingenieur SL» was another genius design by Gérald Genta (1931-2011).
Housed in a «Jumbo» stainless steel antimagnetic case, just like his other two creations, it featured the IWC 8541 calibre, which was not only antimagnetic but also featured a stop-second function.
Made in only approximately 542 pieces, this is an opportunity to acquire a classic from Gérald Genta that will certainly become a future collectors pie ce, similar to the «Royal Oak» and «Nautilus».

Abraham-Louis Breguet conceived the idea for his «Souscrip tion» watches in 1794 while, exiled in Switzerland, during the French Revolution which forced him to leave Paris. The concept was brilliant and simple: to offer a watch to his clients that could be reserved in advance, for a down-payment of course and be delivered upon completion. To celebrate more than 200 years in the history of the Breguet firm, Montres Breguet created the «Souscrip tion» set. The first set, No. 1, a unique set of both watches being cased in a platinum and 18K pink gold case, was sold during Antiquorum’s Geneva auction «The Art of Breguet» on April 14, 1991. The current watch was initially part of one of the 300 sets produced and has just come back from a complete overhaul and still under warranty for 2 years.

watches that were relatively commercially successful at the time, but are so appreciated for their degree of ‘coolness’ today. One of these watches is undoubtedly the “Queen of Cool”, the Rolex “Oyster quartz” “Day-Date”.
At the end of the 1960s, as electronic technology moved forward, Rolex began research into producing its own quartz watches, along with a new case design. The Geneva-based company even joined forces with the Hoffman-La Roche group (now Roche) to research technologies for digital displays.
The early 1950s saw the development (notably at LIP and Hamilton) of watches with electromechanical movements. Rolex was already interested in this technology and filed its first patent in 1952. Between the end of the 1960s and the end of the 1980s, the company filed a series of patents relating to electric and electronic watches.
In terms of the physical production of watches, everything began in 1970 with the Beta 21 calibre. This was one of the world’s first quartz wristwatches developed by the Centre Electronique Horloger in Neuchâtel. The Swiss response in “Research and Development” to this new Asiatic trend. The CEH comprised sixteen Swiss horological companies (including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Piaget, Omega, Enicar, etc.). With this movement, Rolex commercialised in 1972 its first quartz watch, the “Quartz Date”, fitted with the calibre 5100; an impressive gold watch whose production was limited to 1 000 examples. Rolex then develops and manufactures its own quartz movements, the calibres 5035 and 5055, with a 32 KHz oscillator and a thermo-com pensated quartz that ensures extreme precision to the watch. These calibres will be used in the “Datejust” and “Day-Date” versions.

Guillaume Bouvier is recorded as working in Paris circa 1740, being one of a family specializing in the enameling of watch cases and working in both France and Switzerland. A small group of watch cases bearing his signature are recorded and at least one signed plaque (see Sotheby’s London, 19th March 1973, lot 268). It is usual for this tech nique of overlaying gold on enamel to be attributed to the Formerly workshops in Berlin, but the existence of many ‘German enamel boxes with French mounts would indicate that there was a flourishing produc tion in Paris as well. This particular example is of exceptional quality and in outstanding condition.

Asimilar watch, although unsigned and with a less elaborate dial, was in the Prince Soltykoff collection, illustrated as Fig. XIX of his catalogue. Watches in rock crystal cases began to be made around the middle of the 16th century; the fashion lasted for about a hundred years. They were made in France, Germany, England, and also in Geneva. The French lapdiaries, in Blois, Paris, Strasburg, and Lyon, were particularly skillful. It seems, however, that the Genevan lapidaries were especially renowned for their work in rock crystal. For instance, in 1623, Pierre Lourteau, a master watchmaker living in Lyon, ordered three rock crystal cases from Paul Tillier, a lapidary in Geneva. Jean Regnier. He became a Master in 1615. Between 1620 and 1623 he became valet de chambre and Horloger de la Reyne.

HENRY-DANIEL CAPT Born in Chenit in 1773, he married HENRIETTE PIGUET. He specialized in the production of complicated watches, musical watches and automaton watches. Among the first in Geneva to use the musical mechanism with pinned cylinder and tuned teeth comb, he was famous for his snuffboxes with music and automaton scenes. From Ventôse 16, An X (March 7, 1802), to 1811, he formed a partnership with Daniel Isaac Piguet, who was from the same village as he. Their signature was Piguet & Capt. In 1811, when Piguet broke off to join Meylan 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 pro duce 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. Henri Capt, along with Isaac Piguet and Philippe 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 they are rarely fully signed..

Several perfume and writing sets (nécessaire à parfums and nécessaire à écrire) of this form are known, whose characteristics are sufficiently simi lar to allow them to be considered the products of one and the same workshop. These are extremely fine and equally rare precious objects.
A number of examples have passed through the major auction houses, some with clock or musical movements signed by the famous James Cox of London. He often produced for distant commercial markets, notably Rus sia and China.
Museums such as the Louvre in Paris, the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, the Forbidden City Museum in Bei jing and various British museums have examples of this maker in their collections.
Moss Agate
Agate, a variety of quartz, was often used by the engravers of antiquity. It was called achates, after a river in modern-day Sicily, on whose banks it was found. The name was used for stones of various colours, and to further distinguish them, the words leucachates, cerachates or hoemachates were used, depending on whether they were white, wax-coloured or red. The stones called dendrachates were those with patterns resembling herbs or trees: thus the name dentritic agate. Certain of these agates appear to contain moss: there are sometimes called moss agates or pierres de mocha in French (from the Saxon moch, meaning moss). Lastly, those stones called agates figurées in French feature unusual images.

JamesCox (c.1723-1800), London
Born in London around 1723, he was the son of Henry Cox, a tailor. He became Free in 1745, at which time he was described as a goldsmith. Cox also called himself a “jeweller”. In December 1745, Cox married Elizabeth Liron. In June of that same year he had set up shop in Racquet Court, where he remained until 1756. An elaborate trade card has survived from this period; with a text in English, French, and German, it offers a “Great Variety of Curious Work in Gold, Silver, and other Metalls: also in Amber, Pearl, Tortoiseshell and Curious Stones”. In 1756 Cox entered into a partnership with Edward Grace and moved to larger premises in Shoe Lane. However, Cox & Grace declared bankruptcy in November 1758. The list of Cox and Grace’s stock, which was advertised for sale in 1760, was said to comprise “things in the jeweling and toy business suitable both for foreign and home trade”. The Cox & Grace bankruptcy did not stop Cox from advancing; on the contrary, he retained the premises in Shoe Lane and continued working. In July 1763, his bankruptcy proceedings terminated with his discharge. It was during the 1760s and early 1770s that Cox became famous for a very specific genre: elaborate and luxurious musical and automaton clocks and watches, made of precious metals and studded with precious stones, destined particularly for the Ottoman, Indian and Chinese empires, and especially for the court of the Chinese Emperor himself. The first record of such activity on Cox’s part is a “notice of two curious Clocks” which appeared in the Gentleman’s Magazine of December 1766. During this period, and until 1773, Cox’s chief “mechanic” was a brilliant Belgian, John Joseph Merlin (1735-1803). Merlin is generally considered to have been Cox’s “right-hand man”, and any pieces signed by Cox which can be securely dated to before 1773, may have been designed or even made by Merlin. Later, many clock, watch, and singing bird movements were made for Cox by the Jaquet Droz firm. Cox earned great renown through the Museum he maintained in London’s Spring Gardens from 1772 to 1775. It was a lavish venue draped with crimson curtains, whose ceilings were decorated with “chiaroscuro paintings of the liberal arts”, by a “celebrated artist” of the day, probably Angelica Kauffmann. In 1769, Cox purchased the Chelsea Porcelain Works, intending perhaps to further diversify his trade it has been suggested that he planned to collaborate with Matthew Boulton in the making of ormolu-mounted porcelain vases. However, for reasons that remain unknown but may have to do with Cox’ s persistently precarious financial situation, the porcelain works were sold again only five months later. Both profits and demand continued to decline, and Cox soon found himself in difficult financial straits, with insufficient cash at hand, and a large stock in which he had invested hugely. To remedy this situation, Cox held two sales of items from his stock at Christie’s, in July and December 1772.In addition, early that same year he had opened his mechanical museum in the Great Room at Spring Gardens. For the three years of its existence, “Cox’s Museum” – with its astonishingly high entrance fee of half a guinea – was the talk of London. James Boswell, who went to see it in April 1774 at the insistence of Dr Johnson, found it “a very fine exhibition” for “power of mechanism and splendour of show”, while Fanny Burney considered it impressive but somewhat shallow. The firm of Cox & Son vacated a portion of the Shoe Lane premises in 1794 and gave up their main shop in 1797. James Cox died in Watford in early 1800 and was buried in the family vault in London’s Bunhill Fields on February 26 of that year.

In 1972, Audemars Piguet in troduced the “Royal Oak” wristwatch with a first batch of 1 000 pieces, called “Série A” due to the letter “A” engraved on their case-backs. Two years later, additio nal series were produced under the Ref. 5204 with the letter “B”, “C” and “D”.
The A-series “Royal Oak” is powered by the ultra-thin AP calibre 2121, derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s le gendary ultra-thin JLC 920 move ment.
Designed by the brilliant Gérald Genta (1931-2011), this timepie ce bears witness to the 1970s and the emergence of the notion of the sport-luxury watch.
This example bearing the case num ber 190 was sold in 1972 and is part of the first series. Preserved in ex cellent overall condition showing sharp angles to the bezel and case indicating little polish. Recently completely overhauled by the ma nufacture (the polish was denied by the customer to maintain its sharp angles) at a cost of 7’000 Euros, the watch is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
PIGUET, SWITZERLAND
Born in 1996, the reference 15002 belongs to the Royal Oak «Jumbo» Family. With an octagonal case measuring 39mm. it is equipped with the caliber 2121 and has a pretty embossed dial, with the date at 3.
Like its ancestor, the reference 5402, created in 1972, it does not have a sapphire case back. Accor ding to information from the Audemars Piguet Heritage, only 27 pieces in yellow gold would have been produced from 1996 to 1998 and 186 pieces in steel would have been produced from 1996 to 1997.
Manufactured in approximately 200 pieces, all ma terials combined, the reference 15002 is one of the rarest of the Royal Oak.
This present example is conserved in close to new condition and is accompanied with its box and its certificate of origin.

nown to collectors as the “Four lines Daytona” due to the fact that the words “Officially Certified” were left out for about one year of the 16520 production before being reintroduced. Produced shortly after the early “Floating Daytona” were made, this early “Zenith Daytona” is part of the future collectible models
The R series of the automatic Cosmograph Daytona is the favorite 16520 reference for collectors, with its Porcelain dial and its “floating logo” giving it its unique look. Made of lacquer, these so- called porcelain dials are only available at the beginning of the “Zenith” production. The black graphics were printed on top of the dial, giving it a three-dimensional effect. The present watch originally sold in 1989 has never been at auction before.

MIH,
(BY
CHRONOGRAPH,
in 2005 by the
International
l’horlogerie (MIH) in
Fonds in order to finance certain projects, this 42 mm tita nium watch was the concept of Dr. Ludwig Oechslin who was the for mer curator. Developed and designed by Christian Gerber and Paul Gafner
Chaux
was discontinued in 2020 and a new watch was launched the MIH Gaia. Its 7750 was modified in order to accommodate the annual calendar as well as the AM/PM indication as well as the single button chronograph and counter on the reverse.
in 1845, in Glashütte, by Ferdinand Adolph Lange (1815-1875), A. Lange & Sohne is probably the most famous German manufacture specialized in complicated and classic luxury watchmaking. The Zeitwerk is the first mechanical wristwatch that displays the time digitally with jumping numerals that allow unambiguous legibility at all times. In addition to a tens- and a units-minute disc, the jumping numerals mechanism is endowed with a large hour ring that spans almost the entire diameter of the movement. All numerals are identical in size and arranged for natural left-to-right reading.
Purchased new by the current owner in 2006, this Lange 1 in platinum has the extremely rare and fine integrated platinum Wellendorf bracelet adding a whole new dimension and appearance to the classic Lange 1. Preserved in excellent overall condition showing deep hallmarks, these models were made in extremely limited numbers and it is the first time we have offered a full platinum version at auction.

De Bethune Based on a resolutely avant-garde vision of traditional watchmaking, the Manufacture Horlogère De Bethune was founded in 2002, by David Zanetta, a collector with a passion for art, histo ry and timepieces and Denis Flageollet, a fourth-generation watchmaker who was introduced to the art at age of three. Nine patent registrations, seventeen world première innovations and sixteen in-house calibers in 11 years of research express the spirit of excellence of the Manufacture. De Be thune is above all a research and development engine, a laboratory making use of cutting-edge technologies implemented in the spirit of the great 18th century master watchmakers, where all parts are designed and produced one by one, while lavishing particular attention on every detail. Not doing more, but instead doing better; drawing inspiration from the past in order to constantly reinvent it; creating bridges between the various fields of knowledge: such are the principles guiding the elaboration of the mecha nisms and the artistic creation.

Launched in 2020, the Endeavour Cylindrical tourbillon was born from a collaboration between Henry Moser and MB&F, using features easily recognisable from Max Buser such as the open tourbillon and the in clined dial. Launched in 5 dial color versions, limited to only 15 pieces per version, they were quickly all sold out due to their attractive pricing and publicity from winning the audacity prize at the 2020 GPHG. This example happens to be a prototype version as engraved on the case and is a unique possibility to acquire a pre-production piece that was not available to the public.

Launched 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 with a 7.6 mm case, from 1976 to 1981. It is the most sought-after reference. The current example has been kept in very good original condition still showing nice angles to the case and bezel, the bracelet showing little wear and most importantly its original dial shows no defects or discolouration.
The Patek 1463 waterproof chronograph is one of the most appreciated chronographs ever made by the firm due to its beautiful design. Produced from the 1940’s, this example has was made in 1950 and immediately impresses by its thick case, tight pin holes, original pushers as well as its nicely raised enamel on its original two-tone dial. Out of all the variations, the ones in steel with ap plied Breguet numerals are the most appreciated and collected and this example comes accompanied by its extract from the archives that confirms its «Applied Breguet Numerals». Without a doubt one of the nicest creations ever made by Patek Philippe.

BREGUET, REF. BA3250, DUAL TIME VIA TWO MOVEMENTS, YELLOW GOLD

Large cushion-shape screw-back thin case, guilloché/coin-edge, mirror dial with two light sub-dials for two time zones with independent time setting through two sapphire-set cabochon crowns.
Quartz-powered Breguet watches are extremely scarce and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time ever that a quartz Breguet of this kind is presented at auction. The fact that the present wristwatch embarks not one but two independent quartz movements signed Breguet is a feat on its own. The Certificate by Mr. Emmanuel Breguet confirms the sale of this watch on the 1st of December, 1984, for the sum of 23,000 French Francs ex. tax.

Made with a calibre similar to that of Guinand No. 3321, sold by Antiquorum in Hong Kong, on 18 June 1994, but nickel plated instead of engraved gilt brass, this chronometer was certainly completed by the time of his death, if not by his successors.Ernest Guinand, from Le Locle (Switzerland), who died in 1879, together with Auguste Grether from Ponts-de-Martel (1817-1879), was specialised in the production of tourbillon carriages. His production of tourbillon began in 1865/67, they were controlled in Neuchâtel. He produced three models of Tourbillon carriages. He worked for several important makers including Girard-Perregaux and Montandon. It seems that No. 1060, sold to Girard-Perregaux, was the first, but does not carry his signature. From the study of the Observatory of Neu chatel records, the number of tourbillons supplied to Girard-Perregaux can be esteemed between 22 and 25. Most of his carriages were not signed and can only be identified by their shape.
Sidney Better One of the great makers of tourbillon car riages. Between 1917 and 1922 he constructed eight tourbillon watches of very high quality for The Nor thern Goldsmiths Company using two types of carriage: Type 1 - Used in the present watch, with three equidis tant arms surmounted by a two-arm bridge. Type 2 - With three arms at 90 degree angles to each other and a de-cen tralized balance. A watch with this type of carriage was sold by Antiquorum, Geneva, November 11, 2001, Lot 295. Both types used a Swiss straight line lever escapement. In the 1920’s The Northern Goldsmiths Company hit finan cial difficulties which prematurely ended their associa tion with Better. The result was that only eight tourbillon watches by him for Northern Goldsmiths are known. The present watch attained 90.3 marks in a Kew trial of 1920. Literature: ‘’Le Tourbillon’’, Reinhard Meis, Les Editions de L’amateur, 1990. Anibal (acier au nickel pour balanciers): An alloy invented by Dr. Charles Edouard Guillaume, ex hibits unusual properties, both in terms of thermal expan sion and in changes in elasticity. These properties are very different from those of two other famous alloys invented by Guillaume, Invar and Elinvar. Around 1900 Guillaume attempted to eliminate the so-called Middle Temperature Error caused by the fact that the change of rate in a timekee per with a steel-brass bimetallic balance is approximately a linear function of temperature, while the change of rate caused by change in elasticity of a balance spring is ap proximately a quadratic function. Thus, it equals zero at only two temperatures, causing secondary error. Countless attempts were made to eliminate Middle Temperature Er ror, usually by means of auxiliary compensation devices. In 1899, Guillaume noticed that steel with an addition of 44.4% nickel had a negative square coefficient of thermal expansion. This alloy, combined with brass in bimetallic lamina, makes its expansion close to quadratic. Balances with bimetallic rims made of anibal and brass are usual ly called Guillaume balances, or, as their inventor called them, integral balances. When combined with special ba lance springs, they exhibit remarkable temperature stabi lity, on occasion not exceeding 1/50 second per day at 1oC.

T his watch is one of the most complicated and beautiful ever made by this watchmaker whose production was often destined for the Indian and South American markets.
The case of this watch is a master-piece of the goldsmith and case maker’s combined skills. Not only is the four-colour work of particularly high-relief and fine quality, but also the construction of the case itself, involving some 27 different parts, is a remarkable achievement.
At the time, Le Locle was probably the best-known centre in Switzerland for the making of cases with elaborate gold work and engraved decoration. Such work was usually destined for the Spanish and South American market.
Grandjean, Henri Le Locle, December 14, 1803 – Le Locle, March 21, 1879
Swiss chronometer maker, active in Le Locle and London.
From 1824 until 1830 he was assigned the task of organizing the South American branches of his father’s company; in 1830, his brother Henri-Gustave Grandjean emigrated to Peru and was from then on in charge of these businesses.
Henri Grandjean trained as a watchmaker in his home town. Around 1830, his factory “Henri Grandjean & Cie.” began to build marine chronometers that were modelled on the English chronometers. His business partner was at the time Edouard Thévenaz. Together with Louis-Jean Richard and Ulysse Nardin, he was the originator of the Swiss marine chronometer production.
Along with Constant Girard (1825-1903; later Girard-Perregaux), Henry Grandjean was also one of the first to enter the South American market.
In 1831, Grandjean married Elise Montandon, the daughter of Isaac-Pierre Montandon.
He was granted permission to open watchmaking schools and founded the observatory at Neuchâtel. Later, Grandjean went into politics and became representative and prefect of the city of Le Locle.
In La Chaux-de-Fonds, he worked for the establishment of the Quartier-Neuf, which was finally built in 1855; his intention was to eliminate real estate speculation and to create low priced housing for working-class families.
In 1851, at the first Universal Exposition in London, Grandjean received a First Class medal. His list of medals continues until 1868, the year in which the company won an award for its marine chronometers. In the meantime, they also received at least eight different awards, not including those from the Observatory of Neuchâtel. In 1873, the company received in Vienne, a Diploma of Honour (Gold Medal) and the Merit Medal.
Henry Grandjean died in 1879 but it appears that the company continued for the next twenty years until 1899, the year in which Rossel & Fils registered their name as successors, who were also most likely running the company during these 20 years. On January 9, 1908, Rossel & Fils transferred the title to Charles-Ferdinand Perret.
A street in Le Locle was named after him – the rue Henri Grandjean.
On the watches, the name Grandjean can be found with two possible spellings, “Grandjean” or “GrandJean”.

Thewatch was delivered on December 18, 1941, to the Institute of Meteorology and Physics of the Globe of Algeria (Institut de météorologie et de physique du globe de l’Algérie), University of Algiers (Algeria, then French possession), and paid on March 18, 1942, for the amount of 10 000 francs.
This high-frequency timekeeper has been especially created for scientific purposes; its chronograph part allows to indicate the 10th of second. This timepiece therefore served as a scientific instrument for the meteorologists and calculators of this institution.
The ebauche of this quality watch was probably made in the Vallée de Joux, in a workshop of the level of those of:
· Les Fils de Louis-Elisée Piguet, Le Brassus (Vallée de Joux).
· Les Fils de Victorin Piguet, Le Sentier (Vallée de Joux).
Guillaume balance
The Guillaume balance is a compensated bimetallic balance, made of anibal (an alloy of steel and nickel) and brass, after the works of Dr. Charles-Edouard Guillaume (1861-1938), with which the middletemperature error is practically eliminated. The middle- temperature error (or Dent’s anomaly), is the difference between the rate of a chronometer at the mean temperature and the average of the rates at extreme temperatures. This type of balance was used by the horological manufactories since 1904.
Institute of Meteorology and Physics of the Globe of Algeria (Institut de météorologie et de physique du globe de l’Algérie, IMPGA)
This organisation was created in 1931 and depended on the University of Algiers. In the early 1940s, it was placed under the direction of Mr. Quesnay. Albert Camus (1913-1960), a French writer, philosopher, novelist, playwright, essayist and short story writer, worked there between November 1937 and September 1938.
The IMPGA’s mission was to promote the geophysical study of Algeria but also to take charge of the seismic surveillance of the territory; the earthquake constituting the main natural disaster in Algeria. This Institute undertook numerous studies in the fields of seismology, geomagnetism and gravimetry.
Today, this institution survives through the Centre for Research in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Geophysics (Centre de recherche en astronomie, astrophysique et géophysique, CRAAG), which resulted from the merger in 1980 of two bodies that existed during the colonial era, namely the Algiers Observatory (created in 1890) and the IMPGA.
Real scarcity of real chronometers
By the end of the 19th century, the Swiss watch industry produced millions of watches. Each year, an infinitesimal part of them are especially manufactured and adjusted to be presented to the annual chronometrical contests of the observatories of Geneva or Neuchâtel. With the improvement of production techniques, the observatory regularly reinforces the rules of the contest; this competition becomes, every year, always more difficult. On the very small quantity of watches subjected to the rigorous and impartial control of the observatories, a good part is rejected; only the best pieces remain in the running.
Winning a Bulletin de marche – especially one of “First Class” –allows watch manufacturers to prove their chronometry skills. The same applies to the distinctions obtained at industrial or artistic exhibitions, whether at regional, national or universal level. At a time when marketing and advertising do not exist, this is the only real way to promote a company to the public and potential customers.
Dessay, Albert Pervenchères, Orne, September 19, 1904 - Besançon, Doubs, January 20, 2003
Albert Dessay was trained at the Ecole Nationale d’Horlogerie (National School of Horology) in Besançon (founded in 1862 and nicknamed l’Horlo) from which he graduated top (Major) of his class in 1930.
He worked for various watchmaking manufactures in Besançon, notably Lip (rue des Chalets) and L. Leroy & Cie (square Saint-Amour).
As a precision timer (régleur de précision), his work was rewarded with numerous prizes and medals.
He then became a professor at the National School of Horology in Besançon, then an engineer at the CETEHOR (Centre Technique de
l’Industrie Horlogère / Technical Centre for the Horological Industry) in Besançon.
In 1956 and 1957, he organised a series of conferences which he gave in the French watchmaking centres (Annemasse, Besançon, Morteau, Paris and Villers-le-Lac).
As a columnist for the France Horlogère, he also wrote several articles on watch setting published in the Annales Françaises de Chronométrie in Besançon (19 vol., 1931-1965):
• “Les apports de la technique horlogère à la perfection de la mesure du temps” (The contribution of horological technology to the perfection of time measurement; January 1955)
• “Isochronisme et réglage aux positions” (Isochronism and adjustment to positions)
• “Résultats partiels sur des essais d’huilage de montres” (Partial results of oiling tests on watches)
• “Influence de quelques huiles sur la marche des montres” (Influence of some oils on the running of watches)
• “A propos de la virole du spiral” (About the spiral ferrule)
His professional archives are now kept in the Musée du Temps in Besançon (Palais Granvelle).
Albert Dessay must be considered as one of the most important watchmakers of his time, and later as a theoretician of watchmaking.
to the extract from the archives, the Vacheron skeletonised movement was delivered to Verger Freres who manufactured the case. Many of some of the most beautiful Art Deco creations were en trusted to Verger Freres by Vacheron Constantin and some of the most deco rative pocket watches and clocks were born from this collaboration. It is fur ther nice to note that the Spanish original provenance is further confirmed as the bow is signed Marzo who is a well renowned Spanish jeweller who later set up shop in Paris around 1921 at Rue de la Paix and had further stores in Madrid, Havana and Biarritz where the Spanish Royal court were known to shop. Never having appeared at auction before, this represents the best in terms of design and savoir-faire from the height of the Art Deco period. For a similar watch, see L’Univers de Vacheron Constantin by Lambelet et Coen page 353..

GÉRALD GENTA, SWITZERLAND
GERALD GENTA, PROTOTYPE “CRYSTAL BALL” CLOCK, BRASS
A
ball clock.
Gerald Genta needs to further introduction as the genius designer of some of the most famous and collectible watches today. Extremely prolific and creative, he designed for his own brand a huge variety of wristwatches, clocks and even sun glasses. Among these is this very in teresting brass circular desk clock featuring 3 dimensional markers as well as curved hands set at the bottom. Probably never produced and to the best of our knowledge probably unique, this is an interesting opportunity to ac quire another revolutionary design by the most famous watch designer ever known.

These images taken in 1975, 1987, 1991 and 1992 are an amazing proof that the current owner used the watch through the years. Purchased by his father in 1968, it was left as a gift to his son for his eighteenth birthday who has used it regularly until today. Considering the age and the daily use, the watch is in beautiful conditions.

Coming from the family of Marcello Olmari (AKA Gil Ventura died on 17th May 2016) the present watch is a great opportunity to buy an important memorabilia owned from one of the most important saxophinist ever born. He published decades of discs and became extremely famous when he had the opportunity to play in front of the Beatles on 24th June 1975 at Charlie Max in Milan, receiving compliments from John Lennon). The watch will be accompanied by a declaration of Gil Son and some digital scan of Gil Ventura wearing the watch.
Around 1988, Rolex decided to discontinue the classic Daytona manual wind model. They replaced it with a brand model that featured a new automatic movement. At the time, Rolex was not producing an in-house automatic chronograph movement so they used the very reliable Zenith based movement (Caliber 4030). In the first models they introduced, the new Daytonas featured a specific dial design that would be quickly discontinued (after approximately two years). They are instantly recognizable by the word Cosmograph, which is clearly detached from the rest of the writing. This dial version became known to collectors as the «floating Cosmograph». This watch has several features available only in the reference 1652?s produced from circa 1988 to 1990: - Porcelain Dial - «Floating» Cosmograph - Chronograph hour dial number 6 inverted - Bezel with tachometer scale graduated to 200 UPH

around the screwed crown and black aluminum insert fitted in the timing bidirectional bezel, Fat Font writing. Mercedes-style hands.
ntroduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner was the first diving watch water-resistant to 100m. The reference 1680 is the most emblematic vintage Submariner with date, produced approxi mately from 1967 to 1978. This particular model is called “Red feet first” due to the writings on the dial. These “Red Submariner” were only produced for the first part of the ref. 1680’s pro duction run, until approximately 1975. MK6 Red Submariner dials are the last version of the feet-first dial, meaning the feet depth rating appears before the meter rating. They are produced approximately from 1973 to 1976. Same as the MK5 dials, they feature the red ‘SUBMARINER’ text printed directly on the dial, but are differentiated by the very distinct ‘closed sixes’ for the depth rating.

Presentation Watch
A presentation watch is a watch offered by, or on its behalf, by a ruler / leader (Emperor, King, President, Prime Minister, Company Director, etc.) as an acknowledgment or thanks to a third person.
In July 1939, the President of Portugal, António Óscar de Fragoso Car mona (1869-1951), awarded the Mozambique Company the Grand Cross of the Order of the Colonial Empire; the first time such an award had been made to a company. This watch was most probably given to him on this occasion by the company’s Directors.
The coat-of-arms applied to the case-back of the watch was made by a Portuguese goldsmith in Lisbon, as evidenced by the master and control marks stamped in two places on the décor.
Biography:
The Mozambique Company
The Mozambique Company (Portuguese: Companhia de Moçam bique) was a royal company operating in Portuguese Mozambique that had the concession of the lands in the Portuguese colony correspon ding to the present provinces of Manica and Sofala in central Mozam bique.
The company was established the February 11, 1891, with a capital stock of about five million dollars obtained from financiers from Ger many, the United Kingdom and South Africa. Isaacman & Isaacman report that the firm was capitalised at 40 000 pounds, and that British and French capital quickly predominated.
The concession was granted for a period of 50 years, during which the company could not only exploit the resources and existing manpower (partly through the chibalo system of forced labour) but also grant subconcessions. The company was granted the exclusive right to col lect taxes, but was itself granted a 25-year tax exemption. In return the Portuguese state would receive 7.5 % of the company’s profits and 10 % of the sold shares. The company was also required to settle 1 000 Por tuguese families and provide education and public administration in its territory.
In practice, the company made only partial use of the prerogatives with which it had been bestowed; but this was balanced by the fact that it also met very few of its obligations. Having only limited capital, the company did little to develop the area, deriving most of its income from its ability to tax and its power to use conscripted labour on its plantations and for lease to adjacent estates. Resistance to the forced labour regime was a major cause of rebellions against the company which occurred in 1902 and 1917. Despite the company’s obligation under its charter to provide forces to maintain law and order, it was unable to meet these crises, and on both occasions, Portugal had to mount expensive interventions.
The Mozambique Company had its headquarters in Beira (Sofala Pro vince), where it controlled the public administration and the post of fices. The company also founded a private bank, the Banco da Beira, which issued currency in pounds.
Because of its bad performance and because of the shift, under the Sa lazar regime, towards Portuguese control and away from international control of the economy, the company’s concession was not renewed
when it ran out in 1942. The Governor of Manica and Sofala com mented: “They did nothing to develop the potential wealth of this en tire region, preferring to plunder it and alienate the natives.”
On July 18, 1942, the territory of Manica and Sofala passed to the Portu guese colonial authorities and the Mozambique Company continued to operate in the agricultural and commercial sectors.
On October 20, 1961, The Mozambique Company became the Grupo Entreposto Comercial de Moçambique, which transformed itself into a holding on September 6, 1972, with the participation of capital from other companies, including Entreposto-Gestão e Participações (SGPS) SA.
In 1939 the President of Portugal, António Óscar de Fragoso Carmona (1869-1951), awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of the Colonial Em pire to the company, the first time it had been awarded to a company.

Carmona, António Óscar de Fragoso Lisbon, November 24, 1869 – Lisbon, April 18, 1951
After graduating from the Portuguese Military School at the age of ni neteen, António Óscar de Fragoso Carmona climbed the ranks of the military career and became a General in 1922. In 1926, he was Gover nor of Évora.
Since the proclamation of the Republic in 1910, Portugal had been going through a serious political and economic crisis, marked by the crumbling of the parties, endemic ministerial instability (seven minis tries in 1920 alone), bloody strikes and riots, the October Revolution of 1921, military “pronunciamiento” (three in 1925) and the collapse of the currency and the economy. Following the example of General Primo de Rivera, who had established a dictatorial regime in Spain in 1923, the Portuguese military, led by General de Oliveira Gomes da Costa, succeeded in a coup d’état in Braga on May 28, 1926, to re-es tablish order and found the “New State”. Power was in the hands of a triumvirate composed of José Mendes Cabeçadas, head of the provisio nal government, General da Costa, Minister of War, and General Car mona, Minister of Foreign Affairs. At the beginning of July, after having eliminated the first of his colleagues and deported the second to the Azores, General Carmona appointed himself Prime Minister and inte rim President. Supported by the monarchists, he suppressed the bloo dy military rebellions in Porto and Lisbon in February 1927, the last of a long and troubled period.
In March 1928, he was elected President of the Republic. The following month, in order to restore the finances, he called on Antonio de Olivei ra Salazar, professor of political economy at the University of Coïmbra, who immediately carried out a spectacular financial recovery thanks to draconian measures, became Prime Minister in 1932 and in fact ruled Portugal for more than forty years. Until the death of the Pre sident of the Republic, Salazar was supported by the moral authority of Carmona, re-elected in 1935, 1942 and 1949.

Vacheron Constantin, “Chronomètre Royal” (Royal Chronometer)
The name “Chronomètre Royal” was registered in Switzerland on May 28, 1907, under the No. 22 193. The “Royal Chronometer” name, for the English-speaking market, was registered in Switzerland on May 8, 1908, under the No. 23 872.
The first of these were a series of pocket watches delivered to Brazil. A certain Mr. A. Campos, one of Vacheron Constantin’s agents, had organized a lottery system in which subscribers would pay a monthly fee to take part in a series of draws. The holders of the winning tickets would be given a watch and the other subscribers would be entered into the next draw. This system proved to be so successful that A. Campos delivered a total of 3 022 watches between October 22, 1907, and December 31, 1911 – an amazing 80% of the production of the “Chronomètre Royal”, utilising the Cal. RA 22’73 made during this period.
As we can read in the Vacheron Constantin Archives, this series of watches was especially made for the South American Market, especially to Argentina.
The “Chronomètre Royal” was made in several sizes, from 12 to 22 lines, and was housed mostly in gold cases, and rarely in silver ones. Later, in the 1960’s, the trademark was used for some hight quality self-winding wristwatches.

FRÈRES ROCHAT, GENEVA
FRÈRES ROCHAT CAGE INCORPORATING A SINGINGBIRD; GILDED METAL, HUMMINGBIRD FEATHERS, ENAMEL, TURQUOISE
ilded metal, vertical octagonal-shaped cage incorporating a key-winding singingbird.
Cabinet of octagonal shape, with eight Corinthian columns, supporting an arched dome; the whole is decorated with floral motifs, wreaths, palmettes and acanthus leaves, pierced, chased and gilded; on the top, some silvered flowers embellish the entire piece; an urn with a suspension ring imitating a rope finishes the object in its upper part; on the front, two doors open with the help of a handle set with a turquoise; the base is decorated in chiselled frames with four oval miniature medallions, placed horizontally, with polychrome paintings on enamel on copper representing lake and sea scenes; at the base, the object is carried by four feet in the form of lion’s paws.
Inside the cage, a small multicoloured feathered bird, a nightingale, is perched on a golden branch and moves when its mechanism is activated; it swivels on itself, turns its head, flaps its wings and tail, all the while singing its melody (the lever for activating the bird’s mechanism (song / silence) is located, in front, on the left-hand side of the cage; at the bottom of the cage, a finely-worked grid imitates its nest and allows for the broadcasting of sound.
Singing-bird mechanism, octagonal-shaped (~ 90.1 x 90.1 mm.), brass, turned pillars, fusee and chain, circular bellow and eight lifting cams; the revolving bird with moving wings, beak and tail, controlled by two other cams mounted beneath the barrel wheel; winding up of the mechanism by key, under the cage.
Year circa 1830-1835
(~ 90.1 x 90.1 mm.)

Miniature cages are among the most sophisticated and spectacular pieces of singing-birds. They are very rare and those with two mechanical birds are extremely rare. Depending on the period, various types of sin ging-bird/s cages exist: ceiling-hung cages with or without a time indicator, and free-standing cages with a watch and/or additional music). They were made between 1780 and 1840. These objects are the work of various watchmakers and mechanicians from the Neuchâtel mountains, the Vallée de Joux or Geneva, who specialised in singing-birds. Among the best-known craftsmen (often active in Geneva) are: Pierre Jaquet-Droz (1721-1790) and his son Henry-Louis (1752-1791); Jean-Frédéric Leschot (1746-1824); Jacob Frisard (17531810); the Maillardet brothers: Henry (1745-bef.1830 ), Jean-David (1748-1834) and Jacques-Rodolphe (1743-1828); the Rochat family: David (1746-1812), his sons François-Elisée (1771-1836), Frédéric (1774-1848) and Samuel-Henri (1777-1854), as well as the children of the latter; the Bruguier family: Charles-Abraham (17881862), his son Charles-Abraham (1818-1891), his son-in-law Jacques (1801-1873), etc.
It is quite remarkable how, in such a small space, their makers were able to trans fer the movements to all the wings, beaks and tails, and to rotate their birds. These movements are often ingeniously transferred via hollow columns; one co lumn to rotate the body, the other to flap the wings and tail and open the beak. This is mechanically all the more remarkable when the cage contains two birds! Whether these cages have one or two birds, whether they are made of precious metal or gilded metal, they remain one of the pinnacles of horological art (from a technical, historical and artistic point of view), worthy of a place in museums or the largest private collections.
To date, very few cages are known to exist, whether in gold or in chased and gilded metal (bronze), decorated or not with enamel or miniatures painted on en amel. Some of them can be admired with delight at the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva. And, one should read with great interest the masterly work by Christian Bailly and Sharon Bailly-Kerman, Oiseaux de Bonheur, Tabatières et Automates –Flights of Fancy, Mechanical Singing Birds, Geneva, Antiquorum Editions, 2001.
Biography: “F R” (Frères Rochat)
The Rochat brothers are the sons of David Rochat (1746-1812), who was received as a master watchmaker in 1766; they are: François-Elisée (1771-1836), Frédéric (1774-1848) and Samuel-Henri (1777-1854).
David Rochat and his sons worked for the Jaquet-Droz and Leschot, supplying them with ébauches (blanks mechanisms) for singing-bird mechanisms in the late 18th century.
Around 1813, the three Rochat brothers moved toGeneva and set up on their own, soon splitting into two groups. François remained alone (later helped by his son, Ami-Napoléon, 1807-1875), and Frédéric and Samuel worked together (with Frédéric’s sons, Louis-Charles, 1795-?, and Antoine, 1799-?).
It is generally thought that “F R” represents these Rochat brothers, although it is possible that the “F R” signature represents a single name: François Rochat or Frédéric Rochat.
There were other Rochats working in Geneva at this time! Among them, Louis Rochat (1781-1858), originally from the Abbaye in the Vallée de Joux. He is consi dered to be the maker of a piece with a clock, two singing-birds and a magician (now in the Beijing Museum) which won a prize at the “Réunion des Industriels” de Genève in 1829.
In 1814, Louis and his brother François (1792-1838) formed an association with Pierre-Daniel Campiche called “Frères Rochat et Compagnie”.
To complicate matters, there are many family and professional links between the various Rochats. For example, Louis Rochat of the Abbaye worked with Antoine (son of Frédéric) for a time, around 1850.
It is clear, however, that the Rochat family produced many of the finest and most complex singin-bird objects available.

laboratories around the world were responsible for grading and testing watches, the most stringent being the Kew (Teddington) Observatory, west of London. A standard Swiss chronometer test would last 15 days, however, the Kew test lasted 44 days. The tests consisted in observation of the watch’s timekeeping in various positions and at various temperatures, with points awarded for accuracy.

The “Atmos” clock
The “Atmos” clock was invented by the Neuchâtel engineer Jean-Léon Reutter (1899-1971). From his youth, he was preoccupied with the idea of industrially producing a clock that could be wound by atmospheric fluctuations.
In 1928, he developed the first “Atmos” clock, renamed “Atmos 0”. It is a clock with few construction elements, which is wound by means of a glass container filled with mercury. Under the effect of temperature variations, the mercury turns a cylinder to which it is connected, thus winding the mainspring of the timepiece.
In 1929, Jean-Léon Reutter licensed his patent to the French Compagnie Générale de Radio, which put him in charge of a department dedicated to the design, development and production of the “Atmos 1”.
This model of clock differed from the previous one by a greater attention to construction details and by the addition of ammonia to the heat-sensitive mixture that allows the clock to be wound.
The “Atmos 1” clock is probably the rarest model, with less than 3 000 in existence. It is also the only one to have been produced in France.
In 1935, the patent was bought by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Parisian workshops founded by Edmond Jaeger (1858-1922) had been producing the “Atmos 1” movements for several years. Production was then transferred to Switzerland, to Le Sentier (Vallée de Joux), in the workshops of Jacques-David LeCoultre (1875-1948).
After a first phase, during which Jaeger-LeCoultre patented a new winding system, production of the “Atmos 2” began. The clock remained unchanged in terms of style and operation, with the exception of a few design modifications. Technically, there is no longer any mercury, but a gas in a hermetically sealed capsule that expands and contracts in response to even the smallest changes in temperature, causing the desired mechanical movement.
Its unique lines, as well as its ability to immediately strike the observer, have made the “Atmos” a legendary clock. After a difficult start, by 1979 there were half a million of these clocks, which quickly became popular but also prestigious objects, as the Swiss Confederation made them an official gift for heads of state and world leaders when they visited Switzerland.
As the advertising slogan of the time said, the “Atmos” is a clock “qui vit de l’air du temps” (that lives on the air of time).

Launched 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.

While the references 94XX were available with regular dials, they also featured so called colourful exotic dials such as this example with orange highlights. Sold very late in 1989, it is likely that this piece remained unsold for a long time, explaining its excellent state of conservation as well as still retaining its caseback sticker on the back.

Rolex 168000 is one of the shortest productions in Rolex history for only about 9 months between 1988-1989, the reference 168000 is a true rarity among the Submariner family. The difference in comparaison with the 16800 was the change from 316L steel to grade 904L and was quickly stopped and replaced with reference 16610. It is probably the shortest production span of any Submariner.

“CORNINO”,
Audemars Piguet, “Royal Oak”, Ref. 5402
In 1972, Audemars Piguet introduced the “Royal Oak” wristwatch with a first batch of 1 000 pieces, called “Série A” due to the letter “A” engraved on their casebacks. Two years later, additional series were produced under the Ref. 5204 with the letter “B”, “C” and “D”.
The A-series “Royal Oak” is powered by the ultrathin AP calibre 2121, derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary ultra-thin JLC 920 movement.
Designed by the brilliant Gérald Genta (1931-2011), this timepiece bears witness to the 1970s and the emergence of the notion of the sport-luxury watch.
The feature making this watch exceptional is the patinated “caramel” “tapisserie” dial.
Where does the name “Royal Oak” come from?
At a time when his enemies were in hot pursuit, the future King Charles II of England found refuge in a large hollow oak tree where he lay concealed for some time.
This “Royal Oak” came down in history as the symbol of a powerful force protecting a precious life: as in the case of the four vessels of the Royal Navy, launched in 1802, 1852, 1892 and 1914 that where named after it; as in the case of our watch which conceals under its armoured case, the most valuable of mechanisms.
What over name could have been more suitable?

PIGUET,
AND GOLD
Designed in 1971 by Gerald Genta and launched in 1972, the Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet is one of the most iconic model in the contemporary watchmaking industry. This reference 5554 Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar dates back to 1986 and is one of the very first perpetual calendar Royal Oaks to ever see the light of day. These first-series ref. 5554/25554 were introduced in 1983 and it is estimated that fewer than 300 of these watches were made in various metals. These firstseries models featured smooth metal dials instead of the initial “tapisserie” dial. This is one of the most perfect synthesis made by Audemars Piguet between Gerald Genta’s design and the lineage of beautiful and remarkable perpetual calendar wristwatches.

Rolex, “Day-Date”
The “Day-Date” model was launched in 1956. It is one of Rolex most coveted “classic” models – in opposition to the “sports” models.
Known as the wristwatch worn by presidents, hence its nickname “President”, it was the first water-resistant and self-winding chronometer wristwatch to offer a modern calendar with an instantaneous day display, spelt out in full in a window on the dial, in addition to the date.
Exclusively crafted in precious metals, very few watch models come close to the stature, eminence and timelessness of the Rolex “Day-Date”
This reference 1806 is characterised by an unusual engraving, sometimes called the “Florentine”-finish, on the case and bezel which gives it a distinctive appearance. Even more unusual is the fact that it is accompanied by its original bracelet, which also has a similar design.

Right before the introduction of the new automatic Daytona reference 16520 in 1988, Rolex was selling their last manual wind Daytonas which also had a R serial. This example has been very well preserved showing clean and deep hallmarks, a tight bracelet and a dial with very well preserved lume dots matching the hands perfectly. These last manual wind Daytonas are now very sought after due to their short and late production run, truly an end of an era. it come with a very nice 6263 bezel

Real scarcity of real chronometers
By the end of the 19th century, the Swiss watch industry produced millions of watches. Each year, an infinitesimal part of them are especially manufactured and adjusted to be presented to the annual chronometrical contests of the observatories of Geneva or Neuchâtel.
With the improvement of production techniques, the observatory regularly reinforces the rules of the contest; this competition becomes, every year, always more difficult. On the very small quantity of watches subjected to the rigorous and impartial control of the observatories, a good part is rejected; only the best pieces remain in the running.
Winning a Bulletin de marche – especially one of “First Class” – allows watch manufacturers to prove their chronometry skills. The same applies to the distinctions obtained at industrial or artistic exhibitions, whether at regional, national or universal level. At a time when marketing and advertising do not exist, this is the only real way to promote a company to the public and potential customers.

“Deck-Watch”
A “deck-watch” is a precision watch used on the deck of boats for navigational purposes (point reading) to avoid disturbing the proper functioning of the marine chronometer, which remains in a specific area of the ship (chronometer room or captain’s cabin).
For more information on this type of time-keeper, now a collector’s item, see Norbert Eder’s reference book.

Guillaume Balance
The Guillaume balance is a compensated bimetallic balance, made of anibal (an alloy of steel and nickel) and brass, after the works of Dr. Charles-Edouard Guillaume (1861-1938), with which the middle-temperature error is practically eliminated.
The middle-temperature error (or Dent’s anomaly), is the difference between the rate of a chronometer at the mean temperature and the average of the rates at extreme temperatures.
This type of balance was used by the horological manufactories since 1904.

Rolex / Officine Panerai, Reference 3646
According to research made by some authors, 211 examples of reference 3646 appear to have been created; their production having begun in April 1940, including “Type D” model, of which only 79 examples are known. In order to meet the military needs of the Royal Italian Navy, which had already been supplied for several years with high precision instruments, Officine Panerai created “Radiomir”, a radium-based powder that gives luminosity to the dials of sighting instruments and devices. Reference to the name “Radiomir” is documented in the supplement to the patent fled in France on March 23, 1916. Circa 1936, the Royal Italian Navy asked Panerai to design a watch resistant to extreme underwater conditions while respecting the exact time. The prototype (now known as “Radiomir”) was submitted to the First Submarine Group Command. A further order was made and watches were supplied to the Italian naval forces as of 1938 (Regia Marina, later becoming the Marina Militare after World War II) and later on to the German Navy (Kriegsmarine). The reference 2533, the first prototype for the “Radiomir” was produced beginning in 1936 in extremely small numbers. The second to be produced was reference 3646, in production until the 1950’s and produced in various versions classified “Type A” to “Type G”, each bearing unique aesthetics.
Reference 3646 was made by Rolex for Panerai – between 1943 to 1944 – following strict technical requirements, notably a 47 mm. wide (for underwater legibility) cushion-shaped case with soldered curved wire lugs, screw down “onion” crown, 12-sided case-back and a “Perspex” crystal.

At the age of 17, Robert E.was posted to the Kommando der Kleinkampfverbände in February 1945. He took part at a special training course for frogmen and divers, held at a small Danish Island (see page 203 of the book “History1”) documented in his ID by the stamp “Kampfschwimmer- und Tauchlehrgang”.
Another signature in his ID is showing a stamp of the Kampfschwimmergruppe Ost (eastern combat swimmer group), to which he was posted after the training, dating back to April 1945. Examples such as this one with confirmed military provenance are extremely rare.

Production of Langes featuring baguette diamonds are always very rare and exclusive. The Datograph with baguette diamonds exists in several versions in platinum but in pink gold only this series of 20 examples were ever made, the contrast between the pink gold case, black dial and baguette bezel is particularly striking. It is the first time a reference 815.031 is being offered at auction.
Patek Philippe “Nautilus” Anniversary editions
To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the “Nautilus”, Patek Philippe launched the reference 5711 in 2006, featuring a slightly larger case design. 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. In 2012, the manufacture added a new dial colour, this time with a white dial.
In 2016 to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the “Nautilus”, a platinum version was launched featuring a logo at 6 o’clock to mark the milestone as well as baguette diamond markers and was limited to 700 examples.
During Watches and Wonders 2021, to the great astonishment of the collectors market, Mr. Thierry Stern, Patek Philippe’s CEO, announced that the reference was being discontinued this year and a final edition model would be launched this time featuring a green dial and a border around the date window.
Two models were launched including a stainless steel version with baguette indexes, known as Ref. 5711/1300A. This surprise announcement created a frenzy and collectors worldwide rushed to their authorised dealers to secure an allocation knowing the watch would only be produced for a year. While exact production numbers are not known, demand will always far exceed supply making this last-edition 5711 “Green” probably one of the hardest to get and the hottest watch on the current market.

ROLEX, REF. 6541, “PINK” MILGAUSS, STEEL
An extremely fine, iconic, rare, self-winding, stainless steel antimagnetic wristwatch with pink “Milgauss” and lightening seconds hand
Model Milgauss Reference 6541 Year circa 1958 Case 412254
Caliber 1066, 25 jewels
Bracelet stainless steel Rolex riveted bracelet, approx. overall length 170 mm. Dimensions 38 mm.
Signature Dial, case and movement signed
Launched in 1956, the reference 6541 is the little sister of the Rolex Milgauss reference 6543, created in 1954 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. Closely related to CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research located in Geneva), this model was used to resist to high magnetic fields. The watch’s distinctive name was derived from the French word “Mille”, meaning “thousand”, and “Gauss”, which is as 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 function 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.
To this history, the timepiece presented here has other distinctive features such as a rotating bezel with a red-colored triangle and a honeycomb- patterned dial, with circular indexes and faceted, triangular hour markers at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. Indeed, the dial of this reference is made of webbed laminated copper to protect the movement from the magnetic fields, which collectors refer to as a ‘honeycomb’ dial. The production of the 6541 ends in 1960. With only 4 years of production, this reference is completely a tool watch, rich in history, sought after by collectors and hard to find in original condition.

Sauf en cas d’amendement effec tués 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’An tiquorum, 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 pré sente version française des Conditions de vente fait foi.
1. LOTS MIS EN VENTE
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.
MONTRES ET HORLOGES
(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.
BIJOUX
(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
Conditions générales de vente
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 ».
2. GARANTIE LIMITÉE
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.
3. LA VENTE AUX ENCHÈRES
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.
5. MOYENS DE DROIT
DROIT APPLICABLE ET FOR
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
Conditions générales de vente
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). Tous litiges, différends ou prétentions découlant des présentes Conditions de vente ou se rapportant à celles-ci, y compris la validité, la nullité, d’éventuelles violations ou la résiliation de celles-ci, seront exclusivement tranchées par les tribunaux du canton de Genève en Suisse, le recours au Tribunal fédéral étant réservé. L’acquéreur s’engage par la présente irrévocablement et inconditionnellement à lever toute objection concernant le dépôt d’une action auprès desdits tribunaux, et consent à s’abstenir de plaider ou de revendiquer l’incompétence de ces tribunaux. Dans tous les cas, Antiquorum se réserve le droit de poursuivre tout acquéreur défaillant à son lieu de résidence, auquel cas le Droit suisse reste applicable.
• Le fait qu’une partie n’ait pas exigée le respect ou l’exécution d’une des dispositions des présentes Conditions de vente ne signifiera en aucun cas que cette partie ait renoncé au bénéfice de cette disposition, ni n’affectera la validité en
tout ou partie des présentes Conditions de vente ou le droit de demander l’exécution de chacune des disposition.
• Si une des parties ou disposition de ces Conditions de vente s’avère nulle, les autres dispositions de ces Conditions de vente resteront valables et continueront à lier les parties, et les dispositions ou parties qui apparaîtront nulles ne pourront être amendées ou modifiées plus que le strict nécessaire à leur validité et resteront aussi proche que possible de leur sens initial.

General terms and conditions of sales
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.
1.LOTS OFFERED FOR SALE
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.
WATCHES AND CLOCKS
(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.
JEWELS
(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’.
General terms and conditions of sales
2. LIMITED WARRANTY
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.
3. THE AUCTION
The auction will be conducted in French but the bidding may be translated also into English.
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.
4. PAYMENT
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.

Antiquorum grading system
FOR TIMEPIECES & EXPERTS’ OVERALL OPINION
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’
GRADING SYSTEM GUIDE
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.
