HKD 56,000 – 72,000 • CHF 7,000 – 9,000 • USD 7,400 – 9,500 Omega, Calibre 43.15 S “Grade Very Best” The “Grade Very Best” replaced the “DDR” as Omega’s highest quality chronometer movement in July 1922. This calibre was made in 600 examples: 300 “Lépine” movements (for open-face watch) and 300 “savonnette” movements (for hunting-case watch). The term “Very Best” was trademarked by Omega for dials, cases and movements in 1904. The present watch cost 1 085 Swiss francs in 1929. By way of comparison, that same year Tiffany & Co. sold a Patek Philippe minute-repeating perpetual calendar pocket watch with moon phases, split-seconds chronograph and 30-minute recorder for 2 835 Swiss francs, and a standard 18K gold hunting-case pocket watch with 20’’’ movements could be bought for 385 Swiss francs. The fact that this watch cost nearly 40 % as much as a highly complicated Patek Philippe and over four times as much as that company’s standard production is due to the cost of manufacturing such a high-precision movement. Precision movements are made to much smaller mechanical tolerances than standard watch movements and often take as long to manufacture and regulate as complicated movements. Precision watches were also prized possessions and were often reserved for the manufacturer’s best clients.

“Lange’s jumping seconds” and Grossmann’s pivoted detent escapement In the early 20th century A. Lange & Söhne designed a pocket chronometer intended for scientific purposes. These watches were used either on board ship as deck watches or by expeditions as their primary timekeepers. Their movement design, taken from Louis Berthoud’s pivoted detent escapement, was adapted by Julius Grossmann (or Jules; 1829-1907) of Le Locle. These movements, without fusee, were fitted with 14 400 trains, like marine chronometers, which allowed for half-second beats. They were superbly finished and were among the most accurate of Lange’s timekeepers. Very few chronometers with detent escapement were produced in fact by Lange. Between 1915 and 1925, the firm made approximately forty of these centre-seconds chronometers. All were cased in silver and most were delivered to the Austrian Hydrographic Service in Pola (or Pula; today in Istria County, Croatia).

Patented detached Massey lateral lever escapement The inscription “Patent” on the balance cock refers to the invention of the detached form of lever escapement patented in 1815 by Edward Massey (1772-1852). Sometimes, examples of these watches are also inscribed with the word “Detached”. This escapement paved the way for the development of the single-roller lever escapement in the early 1820’s. Massey, Edward Son of Edward Massey, he was a Coventry maker. He invented, patented and manufactured various mechanical logs and sounding machines, which were used by mariners throughout the world during most of the 19th century. A comparable achievement was his invention and production of a series of detached lever escapements for watches and a means of winding a watch by depressing the pendant. His detached lever, patented in 1815, was the first, simple detached lever since the more complicated work of Mudge, Emery, Leroux and Grant. Its simplicity and good rate encouraged other English makers to take an interest in the lever escapement.

Elegance FF Rarity RR The Duchy of Fernán Núñez The County (“Condado”) of Fernán Nuñez is a Spanish noble title erected by Felipe IV (16051665), King of Spain (1621-1665), by decree of April 16, 1639, in favour of Alonso Estacio Gutiérrez de los Rios y Angulo. Its name refers to the Andalusian municipality of Fernán Núñez, in the province of Córdoba. It was granted the Greatness (or Grandee) of Spain on December 23, 1728, and was elevated to the Duchy (or Dukedom) of Fernán Núñez in 1817. Carlos José Francisco de Paula Gutiérrez de los Ríos y Sarmiento de Sotomayor (Lisbon, January 3, 1779 – Paris, November 27, 1822), 7th Count of Fernán Núñez and 1st Duke of Fernán Núñez the Great of Spain, 6th Marquis of Castel-Moncayo, 5th Marquis of Alameda, 19th Lord of the Huguera of Vargas the Great of Spain, was a Spanish diplomat. He held diplomatic positions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Later, he became ambassador to the capitals of London and Paris. His great diplomatic skill won him the sympathy and favour of Ferdinand VII (1784-1833), King of Spain (1814-1833), who made him in 1817 a Duke, being the last Count and first Duke of Fernán Núñez, being the last incumbent to exercise lordly jurisdiction over the town of Fernán Núñez. The latter does not appear to have any direct male descendants. The title goes to his youngest daughter, Doña María Francisca de Asís Gutiérrez de los Ríos y Solís Vignancourt (18011836), 2nd Duchess of Fernán Núñez, and Duchess del Arco. Then to her daughter, Doña María del Pilar Loreto Ossorio y Gutiérrez de los Ríos (1829-1921), 3rd Duchess of Fernán Núñez, person probably nicknamed “Pilarita”, who seems to be offering this watch to a third 30 party, “Manolo”, on January 1st 1854. It may have been Manuel Falcó d’Adda (1828-1892), 14th Marquess of Almonacid de los Oteros, 3rd Duke of Fernán Núñez, her husband (married October 4, 1852), a Spanish diplomat and politician, who was Spanish ambassador to France.

Bonniksen then produces “carrousel” watches with a centre-seconds hand driven by a carriage that rotates in 34 minutes, then, as early as 1903, tourbillon watches with a cage rotation of 39 minutes.

Lurcat is best known for his revival of the art of tapestry making in the 20th century also often in the surrealist style. He designed only a relatively small number of pieces of jewellery and such pieces are highly sought after. Today, Lurcat’s brooches, pendants and necklaces signed by Patek Philippe are regarded as works of art in their own right. Gilbert Albert (1930-2014), who was at the time the head of creations for Patek Philippe, approached Jean Lurçat (1892-1966) to create these works of art. The “Collier Roue” was made in only six examples in 1969 and 1970.

The Société Genevoise d’Instruments de Physique (SIP) The company was founded in 1862 by Geneva scientists Auguste De la Rive (1801-1873) and Marc Thury (1822-1905) to manufacture scientific instruments. From 1870, under the impetus of Théodore Turrettini (1845-1916), it diversified its activities into new energy sectors (hydromotors, refrigeration systems, electricity meters), as well as metrology (precision rules). This three-fold expertise led to the development, in 1921, of a machine tool that would contribute to the growth of mass production in mechanics, the pointing machine, called the “MP”, capable of machining with a precision of the order of a thousandth of a millimetre. A true technological feat, this production will make SIP one of the most prestigious machine manufacturers in the world. After employing up to 1 600 people (1969), a prisoner of its engineering culture, the company struggled to adapt to the economic changes that affected the industry from 1970 onwards. In 1990, SIP left its Plainpalais site for Satigny. In 2006, with only around 40 employees left, it was taken over by the StarragHeckert group.
Tschumi, Louis Montgibert (Montreux or Moudon), April 20, 1879 – January 19, 1949 Coming from a family originally from Wiedlisbach (Oberaargau District, Canton of Bern), he studied at the College of Lausanne, then went on to study chemistry at the University of Lausanne. Doctor in analytical chemistry, he then completed an internship in medicinal chemistry. He worked at the Station viticole vaudoise, as an assistant in analytical chemistry, then at the Swiss Federal Station of Agricultural Chemistry in Lausanne, where he was assistant (1909-1927), deputy (1927-1930), then director (1930-1944).

Its manufacturer has not decorated the cock (balance-bridge) as it remains concealed under the dust ring which is secured by two screws. On the other hand, the back of the movement is enriched with this very beautiful animated scene which prefigures one or two generations of watches with automata or automaton. The watch seems to be of London construction, circa 1730, but it is not impossible that it was made in Friedberg, Bavaria (Germany), for the English market. This city was at the end of the 17th century and during the first part of the 18th century an important centre of watch production (during the golden “Friedberg Era”, the town was also renowned for its faience). A similar watch is known, it is signed by Gille De Beefe (1694-1763), Liège (Lidge), made circa 1730-1740, but in a gilded-brass case (Ø 50 mm.). It was in former collection of Lord Michael Graham Ruddock Sandberg (1927-2017), Baron Sandberg, CBE, Hong Kong and London.

This very fine and important watch is an early example of Moser’s work made in the same year as a case made for a repeating watch signed by George Graham (1673-1751), which Richard Edgcumbe lists as No. 4. The scene seems to be a representation of one of the passages from the myth of Orpheus, where we see Orpheus charming the wild beasts with his lyre. We can also see there a visualisation of a passage from chapter 11 (6,7) of Isaiah, which would be at the origin of the sentence “The lion and the lamb will lie down together” or “The lion and the lamb shall lay down together”: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.” Unlike most of Moser’s work this case graces the movement from a lesser known watchmaker. Other examples house movements by eminent watchmakers of the period such as George Graham (1673-1751), Daniel Delander (c.1678-1733) and his son Nathaniel (II) Delander, John Ellicott (1706-1772), Thomas Mudge (1715-1794) or Benjamin Vulliamy (1747-1811). It is also most unusual for the inner case to be engraved on a timepiece. The London casemaker can be either Edward Bradshaw or Edward Branstone Bayley. Atkins, Samuel (1697-1768) Watchmaker active in London at Palgrave Court, Temple Bar. He is at the base of one of the largest and most important families of London watchmakers. He is the father of Robert Atkins who succeeds him at 20 Salisbury Street, Strand.He is also probably the father of Francis Atkins (1730-1809), apprentice in 1746 (to Joshua Hassell), admitted to the Clockmaker’s Company in 1759, Warden in 1777-1779, Master in 1780. Francis’ son, George Atkins (17671855) is admitted to the Freedom of the Clockmaker’s Company in 1788 and put on livery same year. He succeeds his father as Clerk to the Company in 1809 and held this office for 31 years. He is Warden in 1842-1844. At the time of his death, he had been connected with the Company for 67 years. He is associated with the Brockbanks of London. This firm was created by brothers John (1747-1806) and Myles (1754-1821) Brockbanks and continued by William Brockbank (1777-1822), John’s son, then Samuel Elliot Atkins (1807-1898), George’s son, and Charles Edward Atkins (1854-1933), Samuel Elliot’s son. Coming from two great families of watchmakers, they form one of the leading chronometer and watchmaking companies in London (along with Arnold, Earnshaw and Pennington), active from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century.

Elegance FFF Rarity RRR “Chinoiserie”-style “Chinoiserie” art already in 18th century Europe modelled itself on Chinese works of art and was immensely popular at the time. The enthusiasm for all things Chinese was fed by an interest in exotic and unusual cultures as well as the illusion of a gigantic peaceful empire where even the lower classes occupied themselves with literature and philosophy. Vernon, Thomas (II) Watchmaker active in London. Thomas (II) Vernon is probably descended from the London family of Samuel (I) Vernon, master to the Clockmakers’ Company in 1648, Samuel (II) Vernon, master to the Clockmakers’ Company in 1685, and Thomas (I) Vernon († 1731), Freeman of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1708 (active in London, at Fleet Street). Aveline, Daniel (1709-1772) Case-maker active in London, at Denmark Street, St. Giles in the Fields. Freeman of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1768. He died in 1772 (his will is held at the National Archives, Kew). His master mark is often found on fine gold cases, many of them decorative, containing movements by the best English watchmakers of the period (William Addis, Thomas Gardener, Walter Partridge, James Upjohn, James Vigne, William Deards, etc.). Later, Mary Aveline, his widow, worked with Gideon Macaire, at 5 Denmark Street, Soho. They registering their mark in 1779. Gideon Macaire was registered as a gold worker at 12 Denmark Street in 1789. His widow, Ann Macaire registered in partnership with Peter Desvignes as gold workers at 13 Denmark Street in 1793.

The watch contains an extremely small movement, a real tour-de-force for the time. This movement is only 14.3 mm. in diameter; it is probably one of the smallest fusee movements known. This extraordinary testimony to the skill of the watchmakers and jewellers of the last part of the 18th century is preserved in its original case. In the second half of the 18th century, very few watchmakers were able to achieve this kind of feat. We know written archives and some pieces by watchmakers such as Pierre Augustin Caron (1732-1799) – the future Beaumarchais –, Jean Romilly (1714-1796), Jean-Pierre Tavernier (?-?) and Jean-Henri Divernois (master in 1773) in Paris, Pierre Morand (?-?) in Paris or Geneva, and, John Arnold (1736-1799) in London. As this object is unsigned, it is difficult to attribute it to one or the other; however, it is almost certain that it was built on the continent, in Paris or Geneva.

This type of object, made in the 1750-1760’s, corresponds to the first type of item made in London for the Chinese market, at the time of the first diplomatic gifts offered by the British royal court to the Middle Kingdom. They bear the signatures of London manufacturers such as James Cox, Robert Allam, J. Grantham, etc. The construction of this object is complex. The manufacturer of the case, which unfortunately remained unknown, had to make a complete watch case so that the bell of the quarter-repeater mechanism could be correctly placed in the case-back and do its job. In order to allow the sound to “pass”, the watch case is therefore pierced out with a pattern similar to that of the repeater watches of the time, which are generally pair-cased, but it has remained plain, without any decorative engraving, since this case is fitted within a larger object. This larger object, the “nécessaire”, is also pierced in its upper part in order to diffuse the sound of the repetition. All this fits very harmoniously into the decoration of the “étui”. This impressive piece, in excellent general condition, is to be compared with a few other models preserved today in museums or private collections. A total of five examples are known, all signed by John Pyke. The first two (including our object) have a watch with a quarter-repeater. Three others, of smaller dimensions, have a simple watch movement (see detailed list above). Other gold “nécessaire” incorporating a watch signed by John Pyke, London

The “Nécessaires” Privileged witnesses of the mores and taste of the Ancien Régime, the “nécessaires” are masterpieces using all the techniques of the decorative arts: cabinetmaking, cladding, crystal, porcelain, goldsmith and jewellery, and even watchmaking. They are the prestigious companions of the daily life and travels of the royal and imperial courts, then travellers of the Age of Enlightenment. Mentioned as early as the 14th century, they have been in common use since the 16th century. It was not until the beginning of the 18th century that Princess Palatine (Elisabeth Charlotte of Bavaria, House of Wittelsbach (1652-1722), Duchess of Orléans) is credited with having coined the term “nécessaire” in her correspondence. The 1743 edition of the Trévoux’s dictionary defines this object as “a small box, divided into compartments, intended to contain various objects necessary or practical during a journey”. Examples are known in the most varied and valuable materials. If the oldest of them contain utensils for meals or snacks, the fashion then extends to other gestures of daily life: toilet, sewing, writing, drawing or watercolour. In the 18th century, there were even numerous necessaires for scientific or technical use, made with no less keen decorative or artistic concern and rivalling each other in ingenuity and refinement. The 18th century saw the rise of the pocket necessaire. Considered by Voltaire (Arouet, François-Marie, known as; 1694-1778) as “le siècle des petitesses” (the century of small things), this period saw the appearance of beautiful miniature “trinkets” and their accompaniments. The pocket necessaire, a miniature reproduction of the traditional traveling necessaire, is often offered as a prize in royal lotteries, as a gift between lovers or exchanged between the courts of Europe. In London, around 1750-1780, James Cox specialized in this kind of article. These sumptuous creations, often made with a timepiece, were generally intended for export markets to faraway lands such as Russia or China. Under Louis XVI, all these functions were brought together in a single ensemble, sometimes imposing, such as the famous “Marie-Antoinette’s” necessaire (Paris, Louvre Museum; Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes, International Perfumery Museum). It was after the Revolution, under the Consulate and the Empire, that necessities had their greatest vogue; the fashion continued after the Second Empire. Martin-Guillaume Biennais (1764-1843), a Parisian silversmith, made sumptuous ones for Napoléon I at the beginning of the century (Paris, Carnavalet Museum; Rueil-Malmaison, Hauts-de-Seine, Château de Malmaison). The 20th century continued this tradition of the luxury industry designed to embellish and facilitate daily life, especially when travelling, with the “vanity-case” and the “Minaudière” (this name and object would have been invented by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1934). Houses such as Asprey in London, Hermès and Vuitton in Paris still make necessaires, often to special and unique orders.
Pyke, John, London (c.1695-1762) Distinguished watchmaker established in London, working at Newgate Street, then Holborn and Bedford Row, then Grays Inn (1747). He was apprenticed in 1710 and admitted to the Freedom of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1720. In 1755, he was appointed Clock- and Watch-maker to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, future King George III. He died in 1762 (his will is dated May 13). He is mentioned by Baillie as an “eminent” and “great artist”. John Pyke was a clockmaker who enjoyed complex mechanisms combined with music-playing machinery. He was responsible for the completion of Charles Clay’s musical clock, The Temple of the Four Grand Monarchies of the World, at Kensington Palace (Cupola Room; Inv. RCIN 1418), but now lacking its mechanisms. Another important astronomical clock signed by him, circa 1740, is kept today in the Royal Collection Trust, purchased by Queen Elizabeth II, from Malletts in 1960 (Inv. RCIN 30421). His clocks and watches can be found in major international museum collections: in London, Victoria & Albert Museum; in Paris, Musée du Louvre and Musée Cognacq-Jay; etc. His son, George Pyke (c.1725-1779), was also a reputed clockmaker with an interest in musical and automaton clocks. He was apprenticed to the Clockmakers’ Company in 1739 and becoming a freeman of the Company in 1753. George inherited his father workshop at Grays Inn, London (occupied until 1780), and was responsible for some of the finest musical and automaton clocks made in the 18th century. More concerning by the organ construction, he held the Royal Warrant as Organ-Maker to His Majesty’. He was described as “The first Mechanic in that Branch of any in the Kingdom”. He is also known for his clocks made for the Chinese Market, including one in the Imperial Palace Collection, Beijing. George Pyke, along with Charles Clay and James Cox, are considered the three greatest London makers of organ clocks of the eighteenth century. Pyke is particularly known for his monumental organ clocks, such as one by him now in the Warwickshire Museum, which plays eight tunes, four by Georg Friedrich Handel. Samuel Green (17401796), a future famous organ-builder, was his apprentice (1754-1760).

Upjohn, Richard and James, Exeter and London Richard Upjohn was born in Topsham in 1728 and died in Exeter in 1778. His elder brother, James, was born in Shaftesbury in 1722 and died in Hornsey, London, in 1794. They were both apprenticed to their father Edward Upjohn (1686-1764). Fortunately, James wrote a comprehensive journal of his Life and Travels, for which the manuscript survives in the Clockmakers Company Library (Guildhall Library, Ms. 20 384) and has now been transcribed and quite recently published (The Life and Travels of James Upjohn, edited by Leopold, John, & Smith, Roger, The Antiquarian Horological Society and The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, 2016). James Upjohn moved to London in 1743, following a disagreement with his father, and went on to establish a very successful business. He was for a period supplying some of the most important pieces sent to China by James Cox (op. cit., p. 127), both clocks and watches, and, although not signed by Upjohn, detailed descriptions provided in his manuscript confirm that he was the maker, and indeed, he records their shipment to China: “These Cars and Temples were sent to Canton in China in the year 1771, and cost £ 115 freight and £ 105 insurance…” (op. cit., p. 155). Eventually they were sold to the Imperial Court, and at least two are still preserved in the Collection of the Forbidden City; most notably the Elephant Carriage, described by Upjohn as a “Car” and, at 136 cams., noted in a Museum Catalogue as “the longest Western Clock kept in the Forbidden City.” (Liao Pin, Clocks and Watches of the Qing Dynasty From the Collection in the Forbidden City, Foreign Languages Press, Beijing, 2002, cat. No. 90). Although the movement of the watch is signed Richard Upjohn, there seems to be little doubt that it was supplied to James in London for fitting into the Mirror. Richard spent his working life in Exeter, but was certainly in touch with his more successful brother in London. James records in his Journal: “from the time he began business … he never was less than from £ 300 to £ 500 in my debt …” (op. cit., p. 147). In addition, according to the catalogue note accompanying the recent sale of a gold and enamel watch by James Upjohn, we can read: “James Upjohn is the best known member of an Exeter family of makers. He is thought to have had his movements made, or at least finished, in Exeter. The Upjohns exported their watches mainly to the Dutch market. Baillie, in Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World, notes that James Upjohn was based initially at Threadneedle Street in London before moving to Lombard Street in 1765. He was later to be found at Red Lion Street.” (Sotheby’s, London, auction, December 15, 2015, The Celebration of the English Watch, Part I, David Ramsay and the First Clockmakers’ Court, lot 61).

Whatever the origin of the mirror frames, a comparison of the museums pieces with the lot now offered for sale indicates emphatically that they all emanate from the same workshop. This is most notable in the form of the handles, which, although not identical in decoration, employ many of the same elements. Perhaps the most telling detail is the incorporation of a telescope into the handles of all three, accessed through a threaded terminal finial. Mention should also be made of a gilt-bronze carriage mirror (suspended from a ring) incorporating a watch (H. 267 mm.) whose movement is also signed by W. Beckford, London, No. 12 969 (verge escapement). When this item went on sale in 2011 (Sotheby's, Hong Kong, auction, October 5, 2011, lot 1 967), it was also about its origin, Chinese or English. Was it made entirely at the end of the 18th century in London or in workshops in Canton / Guangzhou? The catalogue mentions: “The Qing emperors were endlessly fascinated by Western mechanical ornaments and scientific instruments that arrived at court as tribute, of which timepieces were particularly favoured. Yang Boda in the catalogue to the exhibition, Tributes from Guangdong to the Qing Court (Art Gallery, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 1987, p. 55), notes that most of the imported timepieces were made in London and Chinese clocksmiths in Guangzhou were commissioned to create accurate copies of imported clocks from the early 18th century following an edict in the fourteenth year of Qianlong’s reign (op. cit., p. 63). He further mentions the great demand for watches and clocks by the Qing emperors who ‘lived and worked under the chimes of their clocks’ which embellished every wall and table of the Palace complex as well as ‘watches for the saddle on horseback and clocks for the sedanchair’ (op. cit., p. 63).”. In the end, the experts at Sotheby’s gave it to Canton / Guangzhou. Although no other documents closely related to this group of items seem to have been published, one can still mention a gilt-copper dressing table with a similar rococo-style watch surmounted by a mirror, from the Qing Court collection and still in Beijing.

Hand mirrors incorporating a watch Hand mirrors incorporating a watch, made for the Chinese Market, are extremely rare with no more than a handful being recorded. It’s very difficult to said if they were manufactured in England (London) or in China (Canton / Guangdong), with European movements. Are recorded to date, seems to be made by the same workshops: A pair of mirrors preserved in Beijing, Imperial Palace Collections in the Forbidden City; these have single sided mirror panels within an oval frame and are more elaborately decorated on the reverse. They are first described by Harcourt-Smith (1933). He describes them as follows: “Gold and bronze-gilt hand-mirror, probably French, c.1770. The back of the mirror is enriched with baroque scrolls and garlands, enclosing a device of musical instruments, etc. in coloured paste. On top of the mirror is a small watch encircled with paste flowers, the reverse side being enamelled in blue. Pair.” Clearly, Harcourt-Smith did not discover the telescopes. He notes that they are “probably French”, and the same origin is given in recent catalogues of the collection (2002 and 2008). However, a careful examination of the colour illustrations shows that the timepieces are actually complete watches and would appear to be fitted into the frames and not an integral part of the mirrors as is the case with the present lot or the one in the Patek Philippe Museum, Geneva (see below). In the catalogue by Liao Pin (2002), it is noted that the word “Paris” is marked on the back of the watch case, which would naturally support a conclusion that the entire objects were French. At the period in question, the 1770’s, there were undoubtedly French pieces being exported to China, but evidence indicates that the vast majority came from England. It is the case that pairs of watches were coming from various sources.

“The Judgement of Paris” The story from which the scene painted on enamel is taken includes several characters that are not shown here. The “Judgement of Paris” is an important episode that puts in competition the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, and prefigures the Trojan War. This episode is at the origin of the expression “apple of discord” (the “Golden Apple of Discord”). Larpent & Jürgensen, Copenhagen Isaac Larpent (1711-1769) was born in Bergen (Norway) and died in Copenhagen (Kiöbenhavn). He was received as Master in 1745 and went into partnership in 1773 with Jürgen Jürgensen (Jørgen Jørgensen; 1748-1811). Originally from Copenhagen, Jürgensen has travelled extensively throughout Europe for training – notably in Le Locle and Paris to apprentice with the famous makers Frédéric Houriet, Ferdinand Berthoud, Julien Le Roy and Jean Romilly. In 1773, he married the rich Anna Leth Bruun. His wife’s fortune enabled him to establish his own workshop with the much older Isaac Larpent in Röskilde, near Copenhagen. From then on, the company operated under the name “Larpent & Jürgensen” (the name will appear on watches manufactured until 1814). In 1784, the company had 22 employees and produced about 100 pocket watches per year (mainly in four different types). Jürgen Jürgensen is the father of the famous watchmaker and timekeeper Urban Jürgensen (1776-1830) – apprenticing, amongst others, with Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris and John Arnold in London – and the grandfather of Jules-Frederick Jürgensen (1808-1877), who will have a brilliant career in Switzerland, in Le Locle (Neuchâtel mountains), and Louis Urban Jürgensen (1806-1867), who will remain in charge of the factory in Copenhagen. He had another son, Fredrik Jürgensen (1787-1843), also a watchmaker, who took over the business after his father’s death in 1811 and finished the watches he left behind (production then fell to around 15 watches a year).

His speciality was the painting of landscapes and particularly lake-side scenes and marine-scapes, often representing ships in a harbour or battles with fighting Men-of-War, but, on occasion, also portraits and hunting scenes. He did not often sign his work, but it is clearly recognised as being in his hand from the style and quality of the painting. He applied his art principally to watch cases and snuff-boxes and these were largely destined for the Chinese, Turkish, British and Italian markets. In 1828, he was in partnership with Aimé-Julien Troll (1781-1852) and one can find work signed “Richter et Troll”. Richter, like other great enamel painters of the time, often found inspiration for his work from paintings or engravings by the artists then in fashion particularly Claude Vernet or the romanticised English and Irish rural life.

HKD 200,000 – 250,000 • CHF 24,400 – 30,500 • USD 26,000 – 32,500 From the 1780’s onwards, the fashion for miniature jewellery watches became one of the specialities of Geneva’s craftsmen, watchmakers and goldsmiths. Thanks to the invention of vibrating blades in 1796 by Antoine Favre-Salomon, they would sometimes incorporate music boxes but also tiny scenes with automata developed from musical mechanisms. The bestknown makers of this kind of prestigious objects are Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841) & IsaacDaniel Piguet (1775-1841), both associated between 1802 and 1811. Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841) & Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841) Piguet & Capt (active between 1802 and 1811) Specialised in the production of complicated watches, musical and/or automaton scenes incorporated into watches, snuff-boxes or objects. Among the first in Geneva to use the musical mechanism with pinned cylinder and tuned teeth comb. From 16 ventôse an X (March 7, 1802), to 1811, Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841) formed a partnership with Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841), who was from the same village – Le Chenit – as he in the Vallée de Joux. Their signature was “Piguet & Capt”. In 1811, when Piguet broke off to join Philippe-Samuel Meylan (1772-1845) in a new partnership, Henry-Daniel Capt continued to work on his own. Following this separation, Capt restarts a numbering of his movements in the 300. In 1830, he went into partnership with Aubert and Son, Place Bel-Air. Their signature was “Aubert & Capt”. They were among the first Genevan makers to produce watches with chronograph. In 1844, the workshop was at 108, rue Neuve in Geneva. It was then managed by Capt’s son, Henry Capt Jr. After a short time, it moved to 85, rue de la Fusterie, and, in 1851, to 177, rue du Rhône. In 1880, the firm was bought by Gallopin and its name became “H. Capt Horloger, Maison Gallopin Successeurs”, a Swiss trademark registered on November 1st, 1880, under the No. 44. This signature was only used for watches retailed in their own store, the watches supplied to other retailers being merely signed Henry Capt. Henry-Daniel Capt, along with Isaac-Daniel Piguet and Philippe-Samuel Meylan, was the foremost maker of small musical automata in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Most of his work is not signed, although he sometimes scratched his name on his movements. Bessière & Schneider Master goldsmiths from Geneva associated between 1805 and 1808. During this short period, they produced small objects of great quality, working in particular with watchmakers such as the Piguet & Capt.

Pierre Dufour’s brother-in-law, Louis Ceret, worked with him at the head of the Manufacture Royale d’Horlogerie in Ferney (Ain, France), signing their production “Dufour & Ceret à Ferney”. Organised and protected by Voltaire, this manufacture later became the “Grand Comptoir”. In 1792, the “Grand Comptoir” was offered by the two watchmakers to Louis Ceret’s son, Bénédict Ceret, thus providing him with financial security.

The company specialised in elaborate and beautifully decorated musical watches, including skeleton and automaton watches, and mechanical animals. The firm was established rue Jean Jacques Rousseau 45 in Geneva. After their association came to an end, both Piguet and Meylan continued for some time to work with their sons.

Between 1794 and 1811, they took Roux and Romand into partnership, establishing the company “Bordier, Roux, Romand & Cie”. In 1815, they worked at the Grand Mézel, under the name “Frères Bordier”.

He married Jeanne-Françoise Capt around 1795, and around 1800 settled in Geneva with his family. Isaac-Daniel Piguet went into business with Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841), his brother-in-law, on February 10, 1802. The association between Piguet & Meylan came to an end in 1828. Piguet and his son David-Auguste Piguet established a new company, Piguet Père & Fils, located rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau 69. Isaac-Daniel Piguet died in Geneva, on January 20, 1841, at the age of 66. Philippe-Samuel Meylan (1772-1845) Born on February 15, 1772, in Bas-du-Chenit in the Vallée de Joux. At 20 years of age, Philippe-Samuel Meylan came to Geneva where he was a master worker for the Godemar brothers. He met another watchmaker from his native region, Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841), and they entered into partnership, founding the Piguet & Meylan firm, which was to last from 1811 to 1828. It specialized in minute cadratures, musical watches, skeleton and automaton watches. Meylan is also credited with the invention of the Bagnolet calibre. After Piguet & Meylan was dissolved, he continued to work with his sons François and Auguste. PhilippeSamuel Meylan died in Geneva in 1845.

Ilbery, William (?-1839) Active in London from 1780. Following James Cox in London and Jaquet-Droz in the Neuchâtel mountains and Geneva, he specialized in luxury watches made for the Chinese market. His early production was in the English style, with a full plate movement and an English type single wheel duplex escapement; however, for his highest quality watches he incorporated a spring detent escapement (Peto-type). The cases were in the style of those made in England at the time. Later, his watch movements were much inspired by the Lépine calibre with freestanding barrel, as were those of Jaquet-Droz’s Swiss production signed in London and that of William Anthony, who worked in London. He set a new standard for watches made for the Eastern market. He had profusely engraved movements made in Switzerland, mainly in Fleurier, being followed in this by makers such as Bovet and Juvet. These watchmakers organized the mass production of silver-cased watches and later, once their Canton manufactures were opened, assembled them in China. Ilbery can therefore be considered the “father” of “Chinese” watches as they are known today. Ilbery’s watch cases were decorated by Geneva’s best enamellers, such as Jean-Francois-Victor Dupont and Jean-Louis Richter. He seems to have maintained close contacts with the continental trade, since a watch signed “Ilbery Paris” is known and “Ilbery & Son” are recorded in London and Fleurier, as well as in Canton.

The Chinese and the Flowers Flowers have great symbolic importance for the Chinese. By their form, aspect, and fragrance, they are considered to be highly spiritual, reflecting the profound nature of the Chinese people. Poems and proverbs show the cultural importance of flowers: “There is no flower without beauty in the world”, “A flower gives us a glimpse of paradise”, etc. Certain flowers have a particular significance. The lotus symbolizes purity, the chrysanthemum perseverance, the plum blossom integrity, etc. The peony, with its generous forms, brilliant colours, and heady fragrance, became the most important flower for the Chinese. It is considered to symbolize wealth, nobility, power, and happiness. Known as the “queen of flowers”, the peony symbolizes wealth and distinction. Paintings of flowers are often hung in Chinese homes for good luck and in offices to bring success in business. The deep and rich symbolism the Chinese attached to flowers made them an ideal subject for expensive watches and those destined for exalted patrons, even for the Emperor himself. The symbolism of each flower would have been immediately recognized and appreciated by China’s elite, who would have seen in them a flattering reference to their own wealth and power.

It is located at the north-eastern end of the Canton of Valais in Switzerland, at the Fourche Mountain. It gives rise to the Rhône, upstream of Gletsch, which then flows into the Conches valley. The glacier stretches for 8 kilometres and is just over 1 000 metres wide. Its surface area is 17 km². Like most Alpine glaciers, it has retreated considerably since the mid-19th century. It is easily accessible via the Furka Pass road. A gallery dug into the ice allows you to visit the interior of the glacier.

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.w

Brandt & Fils, a watchmaker-merchant active at the same time in the same district (30, quai des Bergues, in 1857), then in Saint-Jean (mentioned in 1866). The first one might be the second one’s father. Watches-objects In Geneva, in the 1850-1860’s, Auguste Dutertre (1798-1866), a jeweller, had made the specialty of making watches-objects so-called “bijoux à montres” in the shaped of “carnetsde-bal” (notebooks), powder-boxes, purses, “lorgnons” (foldable eyeglasses), albums of painting (miniature books), and also small watches in the shaped of hearts, locks, rings, etc. He awarded for them and for its watches with horological complications and its pocket chronometers, a Gold Medal (section “Montres de luxes”, “Médaille de 1ère classe”) during the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855, and other distinctions in London and New York. He was established in Geneva, 7, rue Arnold Winkelried (near the place des Bergues, in the continuity of the Bergues footbridge), as “Fabrique de Bijouterie et joaillerie, en tous genres. Spécialité pour bijoux à montres”. He subcontracts his jewellery work to Patek, Philippe & Co., where he buys movements, socalled “lorgnon”, for his other orders. In this range of objects, its competitors are the houses founded by Jean-François Bautte (1772-1837) and David-Auguste Golay-Leresche (1814-1895).

These pendant-watches are in fact much rarer than the pocket watches of the same period.

During this event, other houses such a s Omega, Longines and Zenith received the same medal, but the “Grand Prix / Paris 1900” mark was then used only on Paul Ditisheim movements; the other houses engraved it on the watch’s cuvette (dome) or specified it on their boxes, certificates and others papers. Like many manufacturers of the time, Paul Ditisheim produced a lot of watches that were not signed because they were intended for foreign retailers who, for commercial reasons, preferred to put their own name on them. The best-known example is the production of Patek Philippe for Tiffany & Co., New York. Another concrete example is the previous lot of this auction, an unsigned ring-watch, which bears the same mark “Grand Prix / Paris 1900” but also the mention of the Swiss patent granted to Paul Ditisheim for the invention of this specific ring-watch. The enamel paintings, one of which is signed and dated “E. V. / 1918” can be attributed to a pupil or craftsman who was trained at the La Chaux-de-Fonds School of Art, under the guidance of Professor Albert Kocher (1873-1958). He taught the difficult art of enamel painting for almost 20 years. He was a member of the artistic group “Le Cercle du Sapin”, with Charles L’Eplattenier (1874-1946), Swiss painter, architect, sculptor and decorator, specialising in the field of Art Nouveau. Ditisheim, Paul La Chaux-de-Fonds, October 28, 1868 – Geneva, February 7, 1945 After early training in Switzerland, he studied in Berlin and Paris, arriving in England in 1891, where he worked as a technician at the Rotherham factory in Coventry. He started his own manufacture at La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1892, specialising in very high precision watches and jewelled watches. Success in both spheres followed rapidly, and he won many honours for adjusted watches, especially at the Neuchâtel and Kew Observatories. He designed and patented his own compensation balance (Swiss invention patent No. 98 234), developed a new oil with remarkable stability, and was known for his superior skills in adjusting, skills that won him many prizes and honours. He collaborated with Dr. Ch. E. Guillaume (1861-1938) in the use of both the Guillaume “integral” balance and the Elinvar-type of auto-compensating balance spring. He also contributed many papers to scientific and horological journals, and was associated with Dr. Paul Woog, an oil chemist, in the development of Chronax oils.

Westminster Quarters The so-called “Westminster Quarters”, familiar to everyone as the chimes of “Big Ben”, are more properly termed “Cambridge Quarters”. This familiar sequence is supposed to have been composed by Dr. Crotch in 1780, based upon an air by Georg Friedrich Handel (fifth and sixth measures of the air of “I Know that my Redeemer Liveth” from the “Messiah”). Lord Grimthorpe heard the chimes of Great St. Mary’s in Cambridge and adopted them for the Great Clock at Westminster. Westminster Chimes play a 20-chime sequence, on four gongs or bells, with hours struck on their own gong or bell. It is based on a complicated mechanism, believed to have been originally invented by someone with initials “A B”, which are generally found punched inside the back plate on “Westminster Quarters” carriage clocks known. It has been speculated that either Alfred Baveux (1846-1891), Saint-Nicolas-d’Aliermont, near Dieppe, Seine-Maritime, or the company of Achille Brocot (1817-1878), Paris, is behind the mysterious “A B” monogram. The model with bells can be the creation of Victor Reclus, Paris. Carriage clocks having “Westminster Quarters” are exceedingly rare. They are really a more expensive variant of Grande and Petite Sonnerie. Around twenty are known today, built in three mains variants, with carillon of gongs or carillon of bells. They were retailed by famous watchmakers, such as Breguet, Ecalle, Le Roy, Oudin, Rodanet and Sandoz in Paris, Hausmann in Rome, Capt in Geneva, but also Caldwell in Philadelphia and Hall, Nicoll & Granberry in New York.

It began by manufacturing horological products and music boxes. From 1850 onwards, the manufactory began to produce escapement platforms for clocks and carriage clocks and obtained several patents. Later, L’Epée manufactures complete carriage clocks which become its specialty. For some years now, L’Epée has been established in Switzerland, in Delémont (canton of Jura), and produces very contemporary clocks. Carriage clocks with tourbillon regulators are very rare; L’Epee made this model in a limited series in the 1980-1990’s. The present clock is particularly attractive, presented in polychrome “champlevé” enamel decorated case imitating the “cloisonné”-work, with, in plus, a skeleton and engraved plat-form escapement.

Industrial clocks These timekeepers are so-called “industrial” clocks, due to the fact that their forms are inspired by the technology of their period: bicycle, automobile, locomotive, battleship, ships wheel Bollard, airplane, steam-hammer engine (with matching pair of candelabra designed as “Press Rollers”), hydraulic double-piston pump, printing-press, waterwheel and weather station, lighthouse, windmill with rotating sails, etc. Their animation reproduces the real-life action of the objects they represent. Some of them were fitted with barometer, thermometer, etc. They were mostly produced in France from the end of the 19th century until the First World War, using the classic Paris-type movement often produced by Japy in Beaucourt (Territoire de Belfort, France). Guilmet, Antoine (1827-1892), Paris Antoine-Romain Philéas Guilmet of Paris – an obsessive inventor who took out many patents for designs, both horological and others – produces another lighthouse clock model of roundshaped (H. 60 cm. / Ø 22 cm.), also with revolving light at the top.

This mechanical marvel is obtained by means of a small bellows mechanism providing air to a variable whistle, itself actioned by a system of cams and levers whose driving force is generated by a barrel spring.

Ilias Lalaounis 18K yellow gold necklace with sodalite pendant and earring
Ilias Lalaounis signed 18K yellow gold necklace with knot pendant decorated with sodalite, paired with 18K yellow gold sodalite cabochon button style earrings. Greece, circa 1970-1980.
Ilias Lalaounis (4 October 1920 − 30 December 2013) was a pioneer of Greek jewelry and an internationally renowned goldsmith. He is one of the most representative jewelry and gold designer in the 1960s. In 1990 he became the only jeweler ever to be inducted into the Académie des Beaux-Arts. In 1970, Lalaounis introduced his stunning collection Blow Up, draping the human body in gold jewelry. In the following year, he organized an international exhibition of jewelry in Athens, joined by Van Cleef, Bulgari, Rene Kern, and Harry Winston. In 1976, Empress Farah of Iran commissioned Lalaounis to create a collection of jewelry and objects inspired by Persian art, which exhibited at the Imperial Palace in Tehran. From 1970 -1978 Ilias Lalaounis opened stores in most European countries. In 1979, Lalaounis opened stores in the USA. In the 1980s he opened the store in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Lalaounis specializes in using gold as the material of his creation, which mainly inspired by ancient Greek art and produced at the Lalaounis workshop in Athens. He combined the ancient techniques such as granulation, filigree, and hand hammering are used alongside modern techniques, to create jewelry inspired by ancient civilizations to keep the tradition of Greek art alive. His fans are full of celebrities from the former first lady of the United States Jacqueline Kennedy, the famous movie actors, such as Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Streisand to Sally Theron. Antiquorum is delighted to present a series of Ilias Lalaounis examples in the auction, which belong to a Hong Kong-based private collector and has never been offered at auction. Nearly 40 years safely keep by the owner; all the items have been maintained in excellent condition.

Breitling, “Chronomat” Breitling’s “Chronomat” with its rotating slide-rule scale was patented in 1941, while war was raging in Europe and other parts of the world. Although often regarded as the first wristwatch with a slide-rule, the Breitling “Chronomat” was in fact the second, as the Mimo “Loga”, a centre-seconds wristwatch (without chronograph), was patented few weeks before (Swiss invention patent No. 216 202, delivered on August 15, 1941 (application filed on July 27, 1940), to Graef & Cie, Fabrique Mimo, La Chaux-de-Fonds). The Mimo “Loga” (including a later version sold under the Girard-Perregaux name) is virtually unknown today. In 1945, Juvenia, La Chaux-de-Fonds, launched its “Arithmo”, another wristwatch with three circular logarithmic scales, two of which are inverted. In 1954, the exceptional usefulness and success of the “Chronomat” inspired the birth of what has since become the most famous of all Breitlings, the “Navitimer”, a redesigned slide-rule scale chronograph for civil aviation pilots

Case based on the Swiss invention patent No. 317 537, delivered on November 30, 1956 (application filed on November 22, 1954), to Ervin Piquerez, Bassecourt (Bernese Jura), for a “Boîte de montre étanche” (Water-resistant case). Crown based on the Swiss invention patent No. 321 578 and the additional patent No. 337 462. Universal, “Polerouter Sub” This model was launched in the Basel Fair in 1961. The first models, so-called “1st Generation” and known as “1st Execution” or “2nd execution”, with curved lugs, were equipped with Cal. 215, then Cal. 218-9. A comparison between the two executions show some minor differences. The second execution has hour markers fully covered with lume. The most notable difference between the executions has to do with the shape of the lugs, as the second execution features angled lugs with a prominent bevel. The numbers on the bezel appear thicker, and finally, the crowns are larger. The first “Polerouter” models were the first wristwatches designed by Gerald Genta (1931-2010), who worked for Universal Genève from 1953 to the mid-1960’s. In 1954, its first creation – which has become an emblematic model –, the “SAS Polarouter”, commemorates the first commercial flight over the North Pole with the aim of reducing flight times between Europe and California made by the Swedish company SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System; April 15, 1954; Copenhagen – Los Angeles). In 1956 or 1957, the name “Polarouter” becomes “Polerouter”. Universal “Microtor” Calibres The “Microtor”, patented by Universal Genève since 1955, is a self-winding movement incorporating a micro-rotor, which, embedded in the movement, makes it possible to produce self-winding watches that are much thinner than those previously made. This revolutionary calibre will be developed with various improvements that will be patented in the late 1950’s and early 160’s, both in Switzerland, France and the United States of America. This movement (generally centre-seconds) will therefore have various declinations: Cal. 215, Cal. 215-1 with date of the month, Cal. 215-9 with 21 600 v / h, etc.; Cal. 218, Cal. 218-2 with date of the month, Cal. 218-9 with 21 600 v / h, etc.; Cal. 69, Cal. 1-69, Cal. 66 without centre-seconds, Cal. 67 without centre-seconds but with date of the month; Cal. 71, extra-thin; Cal. 72 with date of the month and day of the week; etc. The “Microtor” was presented at several major Swiss and international exhibitions, such as the Basel Fair and the Comptoir Suisse in Lausanne in 1958, then the Vienna Exhibition in 1960, etc. A probably unique large demonstration movement, Cal. 258 (electrically powered), skeleton and glass, on an electric rotating support, built circa 1957-1958, designed to show the functions and latest developments of the “Microtor” selfwinding system, was auctioned by Antiquorum, Geneva, thematic auction, April 9, 1994, 100 years Universal Watch, Important Watches and Wristwatches, lot 130, sold for the amount of CHF 37 950.Universal’s micro-rotor calibres were manufactured ahead of their time and in particular preceded Patek Philippe’s Cal. 240 by about ten years. In 2006, Universal presents his new “Microtor”, the Cal. UG 100, then in 2007, the Cal. UG 101. In recent years, a few watch manufacturers have started to produce this type of movement (Bulgari, Chopard, Roger Dubuis, Laurent Ferrier, A. Lange & Söhne, Armin Ström, etc.).

HKD 24,000 – 32,000 • CHF 3,000 – 4,000 • USD 3,200 – 4,200 Blancpain, “Bathyscaphe” In 1956, Blancpain introduced the “Bathyscaphe” model, measuring 34.5 mm., more in line with the typical watch diameter of the time. This was followed by a 37 mm. model. The 37 mm. variant were suitable for everyday wear, designed to be “As at home on deck as they are under the sea”, but still reserved diving as first priority, as indicated by the “Bathyscaphe” name. A bathyscaphe is a self-propelled vehicle used for deep-sea dives, capable to diving deeper than a person in gear and even able to go deeper than submarines. The word “Bathyscaphe” takes part of its name from the ancient Greek word “bathys” for deep, and a “scaphe” is a light bowl-shaped boat. The “Bathyscaphe” model found a following among civilian divers, oceanographers, and marine researchers. The Blancpain “Bathyscape” is a historically important example of a dive watch which belongs to a lineage of iconic watches that are tied to historical events and names, that contributed to our exploration and understanding of this planet and the depths of the ocean. This model is the much rarer 37 mm. variant, with perfectly aged hour markers that stand out clearly against the grey dial and black Bakelite bezel. The case and lugs retain thick proportions. Aesthetically appealing, historically important and timeless, the original Blancpain “Bathyscaphe” is a quintessential part of any collection of military and dive watches.

HKD 36,000 – 44,000 • CHF 4,500 – 5,500 • USD 4,800 – 5,800 Blancpain, “Fifthy Fathoms”, “Fifthy Fathoms, Aqua-Lung” and others models In 1952, two French Naval officers, Commander (capitaine de frégate) Robert “Bob” Maloubier (1923-2015) and Sub-lieutenant (enseigne de vaisseau) Claude Riffaud (1924-2016), were requested by the French Ministry of Defence to initiate and elite unit of combat swimmers for the Special Military Manoeuvres of the French Army. Known as “Nageurs de Combat”, the unit required rugged equipment and contacted Blancpain Rayville S.A. to supply a suitable wristwatch. These two French heroes of the World War II will be the first two French combat swimmers, known by their pseudonyms of “NC 1” and “NC 1 bis”. They contacted Blancpain, probably because Jean-Jacques Fietcher (b.1927), who has been managing the company since 1950, is like them a diver. Under the leadership of this CEO for 30 years, Blancpain will develop diver’s watches. The name “Fifty Fathoms”, equivalent to 91.45 metres, is the desired depth rating for the watch. By 1953, a suitable watch was created and in 1954 the “Fifty Fathoms” was launched in France, on year before Rolex released the “Submariner”. After the French Navy, other armies followed suit, including the Spanish, German, Israeli and U.S. Navy. It is obvious that the U.S. Navy orders would never have been won under the protective “Buy American Act” of 1933 without the help of Allen Vernon Tornek (1917-2008), the importer of Blancpain watches in the United States. The later “Aqua-Lung” version of the model with a depth rating of 1 000 feet (304.8 meters) is referred to by collectors as the “life saver”, due to its wide revolving bezel. The “Fifty Fathoms” will experience many innovations during its development, such as the use of radioactive Promethium 147 for its large luminous indexes or the addition of a humidity indicator on the dial to warn divers of any leaks.

Heuer, “Carrera” The “Carrera” is perhaps the most famous wristwatch made by Heuer. The 1960’s were a period of regeneration for the brand. Inspired by its new CEO, Jack Heuer, the company changed its strategy to focus on chronographs and launched three new models: the “Autavia” (1962), the “Camaro” (1968) and the “Carrera” (1963). The first generation of “Carrera” – the one built with the case that we consider today as the “classic” style (stainless steel, Ø 36 mm., elegant lugs) – was manufactured for only six years, from the first model in 1963 to the birth of the self-winding chronograph “Carrera” in 1969. The “Carrera” is distinguished by its refined dial with no superfluous details, creating more space for easy reading of the chronograph indications.

The “Autavia” embodies the brand’s motor racing spirit; initially a dashboard timer, the “Autavia” became a wristwatch in 1962 and was at the heart of the Heuer range until 1985. The “Autavia” is hugely popular with collectors today, especially the first-generation models from the 1960’s, which are powered by manual-winding Valjoux movements. Heuer’s own “Chronomatic” movement was introduced in 1969 along with a totally new case design.

The Cal. 15 watches have a 30-minute recorder at 3 o’clock and sweeping seconds at 9:30 on the dial where the 12-hour recorder would normally be on a Cal. 11 and Cal. 12. Heuer took the revised movement layout as an opportunity to offer a totally new look for the Cal. 15 watches, and as a result some collectors prefer the look of the Cal. 15 models to the “standard” Cal. 11 or Cal. 12 versions.

Zenith, “El Primero”, Ref. 01.0200.415, so-called “TV screen” or “Fernsher” or “The Big Blue” Introduced in 1972, this reference was produced in a limited series of 4 950 examples in total until 1978. The watch is nowadays nicknamed “TV screen” or “Fernseher”, for the “tv set” because of this particular shape between square and tonneau-shaped. This model is also called “The Big Blue” among collectors. Another 50 “TV screens” “El Primero” were manufactured with a black dial in 1978, Ref. 01.0201.415. This marks the end of the model and brings the total production to 5 000 examples. These black “TV screens” were the last Zenith “El Primero” of the 1970’s. With its heavy and robust 43 mm. stainless steel case, the watch has an extremely virile look. At the time, this watch design was used as a theme for the letterhead of Zenith-Movado S.A. The brand advertises the watch as “A new elaborately styled model with larger, easy to use press levers, replacing the usual push buttons”. The model was delivered with two different integrated bracelets. The first one, massive, with large links, gives a powerful look to the watch. These bracelets were made by a company called Chatelain. When Chatelain was bankrupt, Zenith had to resort to the NSA bracelets, made by Novabit S.A. The second-generation bracelet is lighter, some would say more refined and probably much more comfortable to wear, thanks also to its patented deployant clasp. The case-back is engraved “SURF STAINLESS STEEL” with the reference number “01-0200415”. Under the special cut mineral glass, an attractive blue dial with three subsidiary silvered ring dials (high lighting the case design) for the subsidiary seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour recorders, an aperture for the date of the month at 4 o’clock, and, on the outside, a 1/5th division, surrounded by a blue tachometer. The watch is powered by the famous calibre “El Primero” 3019 PHC, beating at 36 000 vibrations / hour. Bibliography • Rossler, Manfred, Zenith, Swiss Watch Manufacture, p. 252.

The Extract from the Archives, dated October 1990, mentioned that this watch was sold by Khimji Ramdas, Muscat (Oman), on June 27, 1980. IWC, “Yacht Club II” Launched in 1977, the “Yacht Club II” remains in production until 1980 and was commercialized under different references: • Ref. 3211, with leather strap; • Ref. 3212, with integrated bracelet; • Ref. 9109, with integrated bracelet. It is sometimes said that it is a model designed by Gérald Genta (1931-2011), the famous Genevan designer jeweller, but it seems that this is not the case. Genta on the other hand drew well for IWC the “Ingénieur SL” in 1976 (“SL” originally meaning “Steel Line” and not “Sport Line”). The “Yacht Club II” was born just after the “Polo-Club” and the “Golf-Club”, both produced between 1975-1976 and 1980 (whose paternity is also given to Genta). The Ref. 3211 exists in stainless steel case, with plated rhodium dial or black dial, and, in 18K gold case, with black dial or gilt dial. The Ref 3212 exists in stainless steel case, with plated rhodium dial or black dial, and, in two-tone case (stainless steel and 14K gold), with plated rhodium dial, gilt dial or black dial. Less than 500 pieces (all variations together) have been produced; perhaps between 300 to 400 examples. The Ref. 9109 seems exists only in 18K yellow gold and was produced in very few examples, with gilt dial or lapis-lazuli dial. There are very few “Yacht Club II” with self-winding movements; most are produced with a quartz movement. The self-winding movement is the Cal. 3254 (with centre-seconds and date), based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal. 889. It seems that Qaboos ibn Said (1940-1920), Sultan of Oman (1970-2020), received six IWC watches, Ref. 9109, “Yacht Club II”, with lapis-lazuli dial, via the house of Khimji Ramdas, Muscat, supplier to the court. Khimji Ramdas, Muscat (Oman) Founded in 1870, Khimji Ramdas has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted and respected business conglomerates in Oman. Growing steadily from a small trading house, the company is well established in a wide range of services, products and

It was one of the first “Oyster” chronograph models (with water-resistant screwed case-back and screwed winding-crown). It was available in stainless steel, in 18K yellow gold, in 18K pink gold, as well as combined in stainless steel and yellow gold. The majority of dials are silver colour, more rarely “salmon” and even more rarely black. When this watch first appeared in the early 1940’s it cost 350 Swiss francs in stainless steel and 935 Swiss francs in 18K gold. Known to many as the “prisoners watch”, the Ref. 3525 was one of the watches offered during the war to POW’s (“prisoner of war”), often free of charge by Rolex. Made in two distinct series, recognisable from the serial numbers on the case-back, or later between the lugs, this example made during the war is part of the first series. This reference is one of the most appreciated pre-“Daytona” chronographs today and is so-called “Mono-blocco” or “Bariletto” by collectors.

The result was the calibre Beta 21 (29 x 24.3 mm.), fitted with a quartz oscillator (8 192 Hz. reduced to 256 Hz. by the frequency reducer), 13 jewel and turning fork escapement (8 000 Hz. quartz module first seen as a prototype in 1967). In 1968, a consortium of Swiss watch manufacturers was created to mass-produce the Beta 21, in a truly collaborative effort. The CEH designed the module and produced the integrated circuit. Ebauches SA (now ETA) manufactured the mechanical parts of the movement as well as the quartz oscillator, and, Omega produced the micro-motor driving the hands. The calibre was ready for production in 1969 and was presented at the Basel Fair in 1970. Bibliography • Huber, Martin, & Banbery, Alan, Patek Philippe Wristwatches, 1998, pp. 85-87, 332.

Using the newly designed calibre 2326 movement with calibre 2874 chronograph module, the watch featured a fly-back chronograph with visual 10-minute countdown timer (a 10-minute central recorder and an aperture for the “Regatta” function which turns red after 9 minutes), as well as 20-minute and 6-hour recorders, with a subsidiary dial for running seconds. Released in limited edition of 2 000 examples with 1 935 in this configuration, the model was the first, and until 2016 the only “Royal Oak” model to incorporate an inner revolving ring as found on the Scuba model (also first launched in 2005) with a chronograph.

The Extract from the Archives, dated April 1st, 2016, mentioned that this marine chronometer was sold on May 11, 1982. Patek Philippe, “Naviquartz” The “Naviquartz” is publicly presented at the Basel Fair in 1970 but produced since 1969 (or very late 1968) until the late-1980’s. This chronometer is a high precision timepiece primarily used for celestial navigation and determination of longitude. An accurate chronometer was essential to deep sea marine or air navigation out of sight of land. The “Naviquartz” was made in three series; first, with calibre RH 29; then, circa 1974, with an improved calibre 33 QZ (16 384 Hz; respectively mark I, mark II and mark III); then, with calibre 33 (32 768 Hz): “Naviquartz I”, calibre RH 29, without or with a two-piece wood cabinet with glazed cover (without key), available under: • Ref. 1200, black dial with outer seconds graduation (so-called “instrumentation dial”) and white “Bâton” hands, silver fausse-plaque (false plate) with the mention “Naviquartz”, with black leather box. • Ref. 1201, idem with wood cabinet. “Naviquartz II”, calibre 33 QZ (16 384 Hz), two-piece wood cabinet with glazed cover and brass protections on each corners (with key), available under: • Ref. 1202, black dial with outer seconds graduation (so-called “instrumentation dial”) and white “Bâton” hands, silver fausse-plaque (false plate) with the mention “NAVIQUARTZ”. • Ref. 1207, silver dial and “Breguet” black hands, silver fausse-plaque (false plate) with the mention “NAVIQUARTZ”. • Ref. 1208, gilded dial and “Breguet” black hands, gilded fausse-plaque (false plate) with the small mention, lower right, “Naviquartz”. “Naviquartz III”, calibre 33 (32 768 Hz), three-piece small wood cabinet wit plain cover and brass protections on each corners (with push-pieces), available under: • Ref. 1215 HF (high frequency), white dial and “Breguet” black hands, gilded fausseplaque (false plate).

HKD 160,000 – 260,000 • CHF 19,500 – 31,700 • USD 20,800 – 33,800 Something quite unusual in this watch is the use of a date disc on a black background. The Extract from the Archives, dated March 16, 2020, mentioned that this watch was sold on January 24, 1986. Patek Philippe, “Nautilus”, Ref. 3700 (so-called “Jumbo”), 3800, 4700, 3710, etc. Launched in 1976, the “Nautilus”, named after Captain Nemo’s submarine (created by Jules Verne in his “Vingt mille lieues sous les mers”), was an immense breakthrough from Patek Philippe’s conservative designs and proof that Haute Horlogerie and audacity can go hand in hand to create an icon that is still relevant 40 years later. Legend has it that the idea of creating a watch in the shape of a porthole found on transatlantic liners came to designer Gérald Genta (1931-2011), a Genevan designer jeweller, whilst dining at a restaurant during the Basel fair and looking at the Patek Philippe team dining on a table opposite his. The whole design having taken no more than 5 minutes! Patek Philippe produced two versions of the Nautilus Ref. 3700 in steel: • 3700 / 1, from 1976 to about 1981, that featured a straight bracelet and reference; • 3700 / 11, which was in production from 1981 to 1990 has a tapered steel bracelet. Beating within is the Cal. 28-255 (based on the legendary Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC 920 selfwinding movement; which was never used by Jaeger-LeCoultre!) and heavily modified by Patek Philippe, it was at the time the world’s thinnest self-winding movement with date (3.05 mm. thick) and found in two other models representing Haute Horlogerie groovy chic: Audemars Piguet’s “Royal Oak” and Vacheron Constantin’s “222”; the first, also design by Genta; the second, designed by Jorg Hysek, a young German designer (born in 1953). Originally, the Ref. 3700 / 1 A comes with a coveted cork presentation box. Owing to a thinner calibre, the 3700 / 1 A retains a slimmer profile than its 21st century descendent, the 5711 / 1 A, introduced on the 40th anniversary of the 3700 in 2006. The “Jumbo” moniker refers to the 42 mm. case, with wide flat bezel, integrated steel link bracelet, and self-winding movement, possessing a rather masculine aesthetic compared to the smaller dressy gold mechanical watches of the time. While it was initially not well received, its popularity quickly grew, and has been a mainstay of Patek Philippe’s collection until the present day. The Ref. 3800 was the mid-size Nautilus, 37 mm. case, released in 1981 and continued to produce until 2006. In addition to the smaller size, it differed from the Ref. 3700 in that the movement had a centre-seconds. The Ref. 4700 was the lady’s Nautilus. The Ref. 3710 was the gentleman’s Nautilus with power reserve indicator, launched in 1998, … and the story goes on...!

The production of this model began with the Cal. 27-70 Q bearing the serial number 875 000. When Patek Philippe first launched this new series of watches, Ref. 3970 was the model bearing a metallic snap-on case-back, while Ref. 3971 was equipped with a screwed down sapphire case-back. Very soon, the reference number of this model was standardised to Ref. 3970, sold either with one or two screwed down case-backs; one of these backs could be a screwed down metallic case-back, while the second, (non-compulsory), a screwed sapphire crystal case-back. In consequence, very few watches bear Ref. 3971. Bibliography - Huber, Martin, & Banbery, Alan, Patek Philippe Wristwatches, 1998, p. 305.

Patek Philippe Ref. 5016, one-minute tourbillon regulator, minute-repeater, perpetual calendar with retrograde date, leap-year indicator, moon phases, black dial; platinum Platinum, manual-winding, round-shaped, gentleman’s wristwatch, sapphire-crystal snap-on case-back, with subsidiary seconds at 6, a one-minute tourbillon regulator and seven horological complications: • Minute-repeater on two steel gongs (activated by the slide at 9 o’clock) • Half-instantaneous perpetual calendar à guichets (with apertures) • Retrograde (fly-back) date of the month (three-quarter circle graduation in the centre) • Day of the week (aperture at 9 o’clock; indications given in English) • Month of the year (aperture at 3 o’clock; indications given in English) • Four-year cycle of leap-years (aperture at 12 o’clock) • Phases of the moon (aperture at 6 o’clock) Black lacquered dial with applied platinum suspended “Breguet” numerals.
Patek Philippe, Reference 5016 This reference is launched in 1993 and remained in production until circa 2011. It’s a wristwatch with one-minute tourbillon regulator, minute-repeater, perpetual calendar with retrograde date, leap-year indicator and moon phases, fitted with the calibre R TO 27 PS QR LU. The movement incorporates a retrograde (or fly-back) date hand whose specially developed mechanism absorbs almost no energy when the hand returns on the 1st of each month. Month, year and leap-years indications will change instantaneously and if it is always kept running, no adjustments need to be made to the watch until February 2, 2100. The moon phase indication will show a deviation of one single day only after 122 years and 45 days. The minute-repeater sounds with unequalled purity and clarity and the tourbillon cage lies on the same rotational axis as the balance and fourth wheels, a very difficult configuration. All harmoniously blended together in this timepiece of the highest quality, beauty and prestige. During the 18 years of its production, this watch has been the object of great admiration from connoisseurs. This model was wanted by Philippe Stern in the late 1980’s, at the time of the 150th anniversary of the manufacture, event marked by the creation of the “Calibre 89” (who was at the time the most complicated pocket watch in the world). The Ref. 5016 was a wristwatch of a new type, the most complicated ever, having with its one-minute tourbillon regulator no previous antecedent. Until the “Sky Moon Tourbillon” was introduced in 2001, the Ref. 5016 was the Patek Philippe’s most complicated wristwatch. Today, it has to be classified in Patek Philippe’s “Grand Complication” collection (a category that did not exist at the time). In 2011, when his successor was launched, the new Ref. 5216 occupies rank 4 in this category, behind the “Sky Moon Tourbillon” Ref. 5002, the new “Triple Complication” Ref. 5208 and the Ref. 5207, first presented in 2008. In 2017, Patek Philippe has redesigned this famous “Grand Complication”, under the Ref. 5316. It sports a new platinum case with a two-tier bezel and lugs as well as a black enamel dial with an aperture for the enamel lunar disk. The retrograde date is indicated by an unusual hand with a diamond-shaped tip. As can be seen by looking at the three models, the diameter of the case has been increased each time. On the one hand, it meets the expectations of the market. On the other hand, it allows this amplifies the chime and enhances sonority and fullness of the tone. To sum up:
• Reference 5016 (Ø 36.8 mm.), launched in 1993, produced in platinum, 18K white, pink and yellow
• Reference 5216 (Ø 39.5 mm.), launched in 2011, first produced in pink gold and later in platinum. We
• Reference 5316 (Ø 40.2 mm.), launched in 2017, for the moment only produced in platinum.
gold; the watches featured silvered or black dials with numerals matching the case. We can think that approximately 200 examples were manufactured until production ended in 2011. One stainless steel version, Ref. 5016 A, was especially made in 2015 for the caritative auction Only Watch (sold for the amount of CHF 7 300 000.-). can deduce that approximately 200 examples were manufactured until today.
Just like the Ref. 5216 and 5316, the Ref. 5016 is one of the “must” of any wristwatch collection. They takes their places in a long tradition of extremely fine and highly complicated mechanical timepieces produced by the best ever manufacture. The readability of their dials are remarkable thanks to the presentation by apertures (“à guichets”) of the perpetual calendar with the leap-years indication and the retrograde date.

ANTIQUORUM AS AGENT Except as otherwise stated Antiquorum acts as agent for the Seller. The contract made at or after the auction for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer. 3. OFFER OF THE AUCTION LOTS 3.1 As presented in the auction catalogue: Lots are meticulously described and with the greatest care, however without responsibility. Photographs count as part of the description with regard to visible attributes. Material contained in the catalogue, advertisements or other publications of Antiquorum is presented on an indicative basis only. Please note the Important Notices, in particular, all statements by us are statements of opinion and are not in any way statements of fact to be relied upon. Such statements can be entered in the catalogue for the lot concerned or in the condition report or made elsewhere whether orally or in writing. Any reference by Antiquorum regarding damage or restoration whether in the catalogue entry for any lot or in the condition report on such lot are for guidance only. Evaluation by the Bidder or its representative should be made in person in all cases. Where there is no reference to damage or restoration there is no implication that a lot or part thereof is defect free or unrestored. If a particular defect is identified this does not imply that other defects are absent. All statements are not representations, warranties or assumptions of liabilitiy by Antiquorum. 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. No estimate may be taken to be an indication either that a lot will sell at such price nor in any other respect that the figure concerned is a statement of value. Responsibility of both Antiquorum and the Seller for any errors and omissions in the catalogue or in any other related material is restricted exclusively to the provisions in Clause 6 below and no other responsiblity is accepted. 3.2 As viewed: Before and during the auction sale, all lots may be examined at the times scheduled in the auction catalogue. Antiquorum will normally provide a condition report upon request. However as stated in 3.1 above, intending Buyers are advised to carry out personal or trusted agent examination of any lot of interest before the auction takes place. Persons attending the auction and/or who have viewed any lots before the auction and/or 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 knockingdown and not necessarily as described. Therefore, all lots are sold “as is” according to their condition at the moment of the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. Those persons interested must examine the lots personally to confirm their actual condition and to determine if any object has been repaired or restored. The Buyer acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the Buyer to fully inspect each lot before bidding and hereby represents that the amounts bid for any lot are based solely on the Buyer’s own independent inspection and evaluation of that lot. 3.3 The sale takes place without any guarantee whatsoever except as stated in these Conditions of Sale. Save and except as provided in Clause 6, neither Antiquorum acting as agent only nor the Seller accept any responsibility whatsoever for any defect or deterioration of any lot nor for any precisions or indications given concerning the author, maker, origin, period, age, attribution, authenticity, provenance, weight or condition of any object. Furthermore no employee of Antiquorum has authority to give any kind of guarantee whatsoever. 3.4 Respective responsibility positions and duties of Buyer, Bidders and Antiquorum 3.4.1 Exclusive responsibility to check and confirm satisfaction with the condition of any lot and any catalogue description is with the Buyer. 3.4.2 Bidders/Buyers acknowledge their responsibilities whether personally or through trusted agent to carry out inspections and investigations as to any and all lots of interest knowing and being aware that the knowledge of Antiquorum
regarding each lot is generated from information provided by the Seller and that Antiquorum confirms no ability or obligation to perform due diligence on any lot. 3.4.3 Bids at any auction are accepted by Antiquorum only on the basis that Bidders and any trusted agents at the Bidder’s expense have inspected the lot prior to bidding and are satisfied as to condition and catalogue description accuracy. All lots are fully available for inspection by Bidders prior to the sale in each case for this purpose. 3.4.4 If a condition report makes reference to a particular aspect of a lot this is not to be taken as a conclusive and exclusive identification of any particular imperfection or other fault not identified to the Buyer. Catalogue and condition report illustrations are for identification only and are not to be relied upon as to actual condition which is to be taken as condition at the time of sale. 3.4.5 No given estimate may be taken as the sale price or value of any lot and all estimates are subject to variation in the entire discretion of Antiquorum at any time. Accordingly, the Buyer in bidding accepts that any estimate is a statement of genuine opinion by Antiquorum and not a commitment or guarantee. 3.4.6 No copyright warranty or representation is made by Antiquorum or the Seller in respect of any lot. 3.4.7 The Buyers accept that catalogue and condition report descriptions of any lot are made by Antiquorum with reasonable care as auctioneer only and will have relied on information provided by the Seller. 4. AUCTION BIDS 4.1 Antiquorum have full discretion to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction, refuse any bidding, to divide any lot or lots, to combine any two or more lots and to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale in any case without giving reason. The auction will be conducted in English. Antiquorum may open the bidding on any lot below the Reserve and may also bid on behalf of the Seller in cases where the Reserve has been fixed. In these cases, the Seller is treated as a buyer and the auctioneer shall bid on his behalf up to the Reserve either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other Bidders. The auctioneer has discretion not to indicate that he is doing this and he may take such actions regardless of the placing or not placing of other bids. If the Reserve fixed by the Seller is not reached the auctioneer passes to the next lot by a simple knock of the gavel. The starting price is fixed by the auctioneer at his discretion. The increase in bid steps is fixed between 5% and 10%. However the auctioneer can modify this rate at his own discretion. 4.2 Bidders giving bidding instructions to
Antiquorum may make alternative offers and/or limit the total of their expenditure in advance. Bids marked “BUY” are considered up to ten times the printed estimate price. Bids must be expressed in the local currency where the auction is held. Bids made in other currencies will be converted into the local currency at the market rate of the day of auction by Antiquorum. Bids stand and hold good for at least 60 days from the auction period. Antiquorum reserves the right to invoice Buyers up to the end of the 60 day period, payment being due immediately. Antiquorum assures the expeditious execution of bidding orders it has received. Alterations in bidding orders are only accepted prior in writing. 4.3 Those persons who wish to bid at the auction must make themselves known before the sale to Antiquorum. They will be given an identifiable bidding number. Those persons who wish to bid over the phone must make themselves known at least two working days prior to the day of the auction. Those persons who are not known to Antiquorum may be asked to provide financial security for their bids at least two working days before the sale. The auctioneer has the right to refuse to adjudicate any lot to an unidentified person or to someone who he knows to be a bad debtor, this in the interests of the Seller. 4.4 Pre-bidding registration Bidding by intending Bidders in the sale room must be registered in person by the intending Bidder in advance either in the sale room on the day of sale not less than 30 minutes before the start of the sale or before the same deadline in order to be validly registered online. Registration is effected by intending Buyers completing and signing a registration form in the standard form prepared by Antiquorum and all intending Bidders must provide pre-bidding identification to the satisfaction of Antiquorum. In its discretion Antiquorum may require intending Bidders to record the details of the bank from which any payment will be made and may require additional financial references. Separately and independently Antiquorum may also require any intending Bidder to make such deposit as Antiquorum may deem appropriate as a pre-condition to permitting any intending Buyer to make a Bid. 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. 4.5 The Bidder as principal or as agent It may be expressly agreed in writing with Antiquorum before commencement of the sale that the Bidder is purely acting as agent on behalf of the principal as an identified third party subject always to acceptance by Antiquorum. Such agreement
may comprise agreement that Antiquorum will only seek payment from the principal and not the agent. In the absence of such written agreement the Bidder accepts that making a bid makes and attracts and incurs personal liability for the Bidder to pay the Purchase Price and all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges. 4.6 Absentee Bids Please refer to the catalogue for the Absentee Bid Form. Purely as a convenience to Bidders who are not able to attend the auction in person or by agent or on the telephone Antiquorum may accept and carry out Absentee Bid Forms delivered prior to the auction sale. Identical Absentee Bid amounts for a particular lot received separately from different Bidders constituting the highest two Bids for that lot shall be sold to the Bidder whose completed Absentee Bid Form was received and accepted first by Antiquorum. Where appropriate, the Absentee Bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the auctioneer’s bidding increments. However, all Buyers accept that the Absentee Bid service by Antiquorum is a free service subject always to any other commitments of Antiquorum at the time of sale. Antiquorum accepts no liability for failure to execute an Absentee Bid nor for errors and omissions in connection therewith. 4.7 Telephone bids Telephone bids may be recorded. If agreed by Antiquorum in advance of any sale arrangements may be made with a prospective buyer to telephone the prospective Buyer to enable him to participate in the bidding by telephone. However the Buyer accepts that Antiquorum takes no liability for failure to make such contact nor for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. 4.8 Online bids Subject always to appropriate available arrangements made by Antiquorum, online Bids may be offered as an additional free service to the buyer at their sole risk. Any such online bids are undertaken by Antiquorum with reasonable care subject always to its other commitments at the time of sale. In no circumstances shall Antiquorum be liable for failure to place any online bid which will always be subject to conditions (if any) available on the Antiquorum website or in hard copy upon request. 4.9 Currency converter Antiquorum offers at certain sales only a currency conversion facility displayed on a screen in the sale room. Antiquorum accepts no responsibility for errors either in the operation of the currency converter nor in respect of the accuracy of the conversions shown. The only meaningful numbers in respect of any lot are the actual bids made in the sale room in the currency of the sale. 4.10 Video or digital images If Antiquorum may provide at any sale video or digital screening of any lot Antiquorum accepts no liability
315
or responsibility either in the operation of the screening of the image nor for the quality of image shown. Antiquorum reserves rights for visual or audio recording of the proceedings at any auction sale. Any personal data obtained by way of such filmed or recorded record shall be held in confidence by Antiquorum but may be used by Antiquorum or communicated to any Antiquorum Associated Company and marketing partners for the purposes of the customer analysis of any such parties and further may be used by Antiquorum to match the quality and range of the services of Antiquorum to the requirements of the auction buyer market. Any Buyer or intending Buyer not wishing to be filmed or recorded in this way may make arrangements with Antiquorum to bid by telephone in accordance with 4.7 above. 4.11 Reserves Lots maybe offered without Reserve. Any such lot shall be identified in the catalogue with the disclaimer “To be sold without reserve” placed under the lot estimate. In such case in the absence of competing bids the auctioneer has the discretion to take the low pre-sale estimate for the lot and he may open the bidding at 50% of that figure. If no bid responds to that opening level the auctioneer has a discretion to offer downward bidding to the point where a bid is made when the auctioneer may continue the sale by increasing bids upwards from that point. Unless there is a higher bid any Absentee Bid may in the discretion of the auctioneer either be made at the amount of the bid if less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate or, if higher, at 50% of the low pre-sale estimate. In the absence of any indication otherwise the Reserve shall apply to all lots. If bidding does not rise to the Reserve level, the auctioneer may withdraw the lot from the sale. The Reserve will not exceed the lower estimate printed in the catalogue. 4.12 Auctioneer’s discretion The auctioneer may exercise absolute and sole discretion whether during or after the sale: 4.12.1 In the case of error or dispute to identify the successful Bidder or continue the bidding or cancel the sale or re-offer and resell the item in dispute at any level open to him; 4.12.2 To refuse or accept any bid or raise the bidding or withdraw or divide any lot or combine any two or more lots or offer again any lot for bidding or take such other action as he may think fit. If any dispute arises after a sale the record of Antiquorum for the sale shall be conclusive. 5. THE AUCTION 5.1 Prerogatives of Antiquorum Antiquorum may at its full and absolute discretion withdraw, group differently, divide or refuse to knock down any lot of this sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for the same. Antiquorum reserves the right to refuse any bid orders and/or to refuse admittance to the auction room, at its sole discretion. Antiquorum cannot be held responsible for any physical accident
316
that may occur on the premises of the auction. 5.2 Bidder’s representatives and auction agents Any person bidding for the account of a third party is fully liable for any obligation assumed by such person arising from this auction. This responsibility is notably applicable to the verification of the condition and to the payment of lots purchased. 5.3 Creation and conclusion of contract All Bids shall be treated as offers made subject to these Conditions of Sale. The fall of the hammer shall conclude the contract between the Buyer and the Seller from which point the Buyer is liable to pay the Purchase Price and after which point the Buyer shall have no right to revoke his bid price accepting any lot. Each lot is sold on behalf of the respective Seller to the highest Bidder. In addition to the Hammer Price together with any applicable tax and charges, the Buyer’s Premium is payable as follows: 25% of the hammer price on each lot up to and including HKD 800,000, 20% from HKD 800,001 to HKD12,000,000 and 12% more than HKD 12,000,000. On the fall of the gavel and subject to Clause 5.5, the risk, responsibility and liability for the knocked-down lot (or lots) but not its title passes to the Bidder whose bid has been accepted. Delivery to the Buyer of any lot shall be made when the Purchase Price is paid in full and all other applicable Conditions of Sale are complied with by the Buyer. Title to any lot shall not pass to the Buyer until receipt by Antiquorum in good cleared funds of the Purchase Price and of all amounts due from the Buyer to Antiquorum and to any Antiquorum Associated Company. Antiquorum may apply any deposit held by Antiquorum to settle any amounts of the Buyers Dues of whatever type payable either by the Buyer or by any third party or principal for whom the Buyer is acting as agent as bid to Antiquorum or any Antiquorum Associated Company and only the resulting surplus (if any) of the deposit shall be refundable to the Buyer. 5.4 Whether or not the Buyer wishes to export the lot from the territory of the sale requiring an export licence from the relevant authority in that territory the Buyer when attending in person shall pay the Purchase Price in local currency together with all other applicable sales and other taxes by a method of payment acceptable to Antiquorum. At the discretion of Antiquorum, payment in foreign currencies may be accepted. The exchange rate applied is the middle market rate the day of payment as determined by Antiquorum. Delivery of the lots may be postponed due to customs clearance. Mail Bidders who are successful and Buyers attending the auction in person with whom it has been expressly agreed that
they may pay after the sale, are due to pay the Purchase Price on receipt of the auction invoice. In these cases, Antiquorum keeps the adjudicated lots, which are delivered to the Buyers on full settlement of their account. Delivery of the purchased lots by post or any other means if instructed by the Buyer, including cost of normal transit insurance cover, is at the expense of the Buyer. The Buyer hereby expressly authorises Antiquorum to recover any part of any unpaid invoice, including commissions and administrative and handling charges due to Antiquorum by charging any such amount to the credit card of the Buyer such right to be exerciseable on and following the thirtieth day following the sale. The Buyer shall pay any additional administration and handling charge at the rate set by the sale office to the total invoiced Purchase Price and additional amounts. 5.5 Collection of purchases Unless otherwise agreed in writing full Purchase Price and all other amounts must be made by or on behalf of the Buyer to Antiquorum in order to enable delivery to the Buyer of all purchased lots. Following such full payment Antiquorum may arrange for such lots to be packed, insured and shipped for the sole account and at the sole risk of the Buyer absolving and releasing Antiquorum from any liability for loss or damage to any such lot. At the risk of the Buyer Antiquorum reserves the right to move any lot to an off-site storage facility. Until the Buyer has as the case may be either performed any outstanding obligations due by the Buyer as Antiquorum in its sole discretion shall require including the completion of any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks or until all amounts due to Antiquorum or to Antiquorum Associated Company shall have been received in full in good cleared funds Antiquorum shall be entitled to retain all items sold. In the event that to the full satisfaction of Antiquorum a Buyer shall not complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks, Antiquorum shall be entitled to annul and cancel the sale and to take any other requisite or permitted action under applicable law. Subject thereto and conditional thereon, the Buyer shall collect purchased lots within thirty calendar days from the date of the sale unless otherwise agreed in writing between Antiquorum and the Buyer. With effect from the thirtieth day from the date of the sale uncollected items shall be subject to a monthly storage charge by Antiquorum per on a per lot basis. The risk and the responsibility to insure any purchased lot shall pass to the Buyer from the earliest of the date of collection by the Buyer or the seventh calendar day following the auction. Until such passing of risk Antiquorum shall compensate the
Buyer for any loss or damage to any lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price but subject always to exclusion of liability for Antiquorum as set out in these conditions. 5.6 Responsibility for handling, packing and shipping of any lot Whether by third parties retained by Antiquorum or by other independently established handlers, packers or shippers as may be requested by the Buyer Antiquorum accepts no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of any such third parties. 5.7 Licence to export/import Neither Antiquorum nor the Seller shall make nor shall in any circumstances be deemed to have made any representations or warranties as to whether or not any lot is subject to export or import restrictions of any kind imposed by any territory. No delay in obtaining any such licence or inability to obtain the same shall constitute a ground for rescission of the sale nor delay in making full payment for the lot concerned. No liability is accepted by Antiquorum regarding any failure to complete or submit any required export or import manifest, packing list or documentation. Unless otherwise agreed by Antiquorum in writing Antiquorum shall be entitled to make a charge for assistance to the Buyer in applying for an export licence at the request of the Buyer but no delay related to such export licence application shall impact the obligation of the Buyer to make payment with seven days following the sale nor the right of Antiquorum to charge interest or storage charges in respect of late payment by the Buyer of the Purchase Price. Where an export licence is required and payment is made by the Buyer Antiquorum shall have no obligation to rescind any sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the Buyer. 5.8 Late payment if payment is not received by Antiquorum within 30 days of the auction, the Buyer forfeits all his rights and Antiquorum may accordingly take all appropriate steps to protect its interests and/or those of the Seller, including claiming damages and interest. Antiquorum may also renounce on the execution of the sale, claim damages and interest and also, to protect its interests, consider itself no longer bound by the conditions of the contract. In every case Antiquorum will charge interest of 1.5% per month on all amounts unpaid, all damages being in addition and due by the late payer. The Buyer who has delayed payment beyond 30 days accepts that Antiquorum may cancel the sale and charge liquidated damages equivalent to the Buyer’s Premium and the Sellers commission which would have been earned had the sale been completed in the normal manner. All damages and interest of 1.5% per month in addition are included until final settlement. In the case of delayed payment or of the Buyer obtaining special credit facilities, Antiquorum is not responsible for the purchased lots,
expressly any disappearances, changes or damage caused or incurred. In addition to the assertion by Antiquorum of any right or remedy available to Antiquorum by law and without prejudice to Clause 5.8 above and Clause 5.9 below Antiquorum shall in the event of failure by the Buyer to make payment in full in good cleared funds within the time required by these conditions be entitled to exercise in its absolute discretion any one or more of the following additional rights or remedies: (i) to commence legal proceedings against the Buyer for recovery of the total amount due together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (ii) in the event of a resale under (iii) below the Buyer shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Antiquorum including the Buyers Premium and costs and expenses incurred by Antiquorum or by any Antiquorum Associated Company such losses to be apportioned in the discretion of Antiquorum on a pro-rata basis where more than one lot shall have been purchased by the Buyer at the auction and then resold and including any damages due by the Buyer for breach of contract (including but not limited to the Buyers’ Premium in the event of termination of the sale contract). Any such recovery may be deducted by Antiquorum or Antiquorum Associated Company from any deposit which may be held by any one or more of them; (iii) on such terms as Antiquorum shall think fit in its entire discretion to resell the lot by public or sale or private treaty without liability for any loss below the Hammer Price, Buyer’s Premium and any other dues due from the Buyer; (iv) payment by Antiquorum to the Seller of an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (v) to set off the outstanding amount due from and unpaid by the Buyer and/ or including any shortfall in the Purchase Price and Buyer’s Expense in the event of resale under (iii) above and on a pro-rata basis to be apportioned by Antiquorum in its entire discretion where more than one lot shall have been purchased by the Buyer at the auction and then resold, and/or any claim by Antiquorum against the Buyer for damages for the breach of contract by the Buyer (including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium in the event of termination of the sale contract); (vi) to apply in the entire discretion of Antiquorum and regardless of any direction by the Buyer any amount paid by the Buyer in order to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction where any course of different transactions may have generated several separate amounts owed by the Buyer to Antiquorum or to Antiquorum Associated Company; (vii) at any future auction either to reject
any bid made by on behalf of the Buyer or to require the making by the Buyer of a deposit with Antiquorum before any obligation of Antiquorum to accept any bids; (viii) at its sole risk, expense and for the account of the Buyer to store any lot at premises available to Antiquorum; (ix) accept the breach of contract by the Buyer as termination of the contract for the sale of the lot without prejudice to the right of Antiquorum to claim damages therefor; (x) either to claim damages for breach of contract by the Buyer by way of legal proceedings to recover the Purchase Price together with interest and costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity basis; (xi) giving notification to the Buyer that Antiquorum shall be entitled to release to the Seller full relevant details of the Buyer to enable the Seller to commence legal proceedings against the Buyer to recover amounts due or to claim damages for breach of contract by the Buyer and to recover the Seller’s legal costs; (xii) to return the lot in question to the Seller; or (xiii) to take such other action as Antiquorum shall in its entire discretion consider necessary or appropriate. In the event of resale by Antiquorum of any property under (iii) above the Buyer in default shall be liable for payment in full of any deficit or shortfall between the total amount originally due to Antiquorum and the price obtained upon such resale. Such liability of the Buyer shall extend to all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees, commissions, premiums and the costs and expenses of administration, handling, insurance, warehouse or other expenses of whatever kind associated with such resale or otherwise arising from the default by the Buyer. The Buyer acknowledges and accepts in the event that Antiquorum shall pay an amount to the Seller under (iv) above Antiquorum shall have all rights of the Seller in respect of such amount to pursue the Buyer therefor. In any case where the Buyer shall have purchased more than one lot at any auction and shall make a partial payment only in respect thereof but shall fail to pay in full the balance of the Purchase Price within thirty days of the auction or otherwise if so agreed in writing with Antiquorum by way of any different payment schedule Antiquorum shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to refuse any instruction or request by the Buyer to allocate the whole or a part of such partial payment to other lots. 5.9 Pledge Until full settlement of the account, the Buyer grants to Antiquorum a pledge on any and all properties held by Antiquorum acquired prior to, during and/ or after this auction. This pledge secures
317
the repayment of any amount due in principal, interest, commissions, costs and all other fees. Antiquorum is entitled, but not obliged, to realize freely pledged assets without further formalities and without previous notice if the Buyer is in default in the payment of his debt or in the fulfilment of any other obligation hereunder including but without limitation any claim which Antiquorum may have against the Buyer in damages for breach of contract by the Buyer to include but without limitation the Buyers Premium in the event of a termination of the sale contract and/or for any amount due by the Buyer to Antiquorum in respect of any shortfall in the Purchase Price and Buyer’s dues found in the event of a resale under Clause 5.8 (iii) and on a pro-rata basis apportioned in the reasonable discretion of Antiquorum where more than one lot shall have been purchased by the Buyer and subsequently resold. In any event, Antiquorum shall be entitled to realise its pledge on a private treaty basis. Antiquorum is authorized to file and the Buyer agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other documents as Antiquorum reasonably deems necessary to create, perfect, and continue the security interest in the lots contemplated hereby. If the Buyer fails to execute and deliver any documentation referred to herein, the Buyer irrevocably appoints Antiquorum as his attorney in fact to execute and deliver that documentation for and in the Buyer’s name. For this purpose, Antiquorum is not bound to comply with the formalities of the law dealing with actions for debt and bankruptcy proceedings; in addition, Antiquorum may choose to institute or proceed with the usual proceedings without having beforehand sold the pledged goods and without having moreover given up its rights to them. 5.10 Late collection of purchased lots Antiquorum shall charge and the Buyer shall pay to Antiquorum a monthly storage charge for each uncollected lot after due date of collection and whether or not payment of the Purchase Price on any such lot shall have been paid by the Buyer. Any such stored items shall be at the full risk of the Buyer and subject to release to the Buyer or to his order only after the payment in full of all charges for storage, removal, handling, insurance and other costs incurred by Antiquorum together with payment of all other amounts due to Antiquorum or to Antiquorum Associated Company. The Buyer hereby accepts and authorises Antiquorum with or without notice to the Buyer to arrange a resale of any item paid for by or on behalf of the Buyer but not collected within 180 days following the auction and Antiquorum shall have a complete discretion for resale by auction or private sale with estimates and reserves fixed by Antiquorum. The proceed of such sale less all costs incurred by Antiquorum in connection therewith shall be available
318
for collection by the Buyer without interest. 6. LIMITED WARRANTY 6.1 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. For the purposes of this clause the term “Counterfeit” means that in the reasonable opinion of Antiquorum a lot is an imitation created by way of intent to deceive any issue whether of source, age, period, cultural origin or authorship such that the correct description of such matters shall not be reflected accurately in the catalogue description. For the purposes of this clause the term “authorship” means a reference to any one or more of the origin sources above referred to. For the avoidance of doubt the Buyer accepts that no lot shall by reason only of any damage and/or restoration and/or remedial works of any kind (including re-painting or over-painting) shall be taken for any purpose as a Counterfeit. 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 in this Clause. Antiquorum does not guaranty that all component parts of any timepiece are original to the timepiece. For the purposes of this clause the term “attribution” shall mean and extend to any statement or utterance in relation to author, maker, weight, condition, authenticity, provenance, age, period, literary or historical relevance, history of exhibited display, importance, rarity, condition, quality, size, description or any aspect of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. No representation, warranty, guarantee or assumption of any liability of any kind whatsoever is made in respect of any lot as regards any aspect of attribution as defined in this clause and no responsibility is taken or assumed by either the Seller or Antiquorum or any officer, employee or agent of them or any of them for correctness of any statement whether written or oral or of whatsoever kind concerning attribution of any lot nor for any other errors or omissions whether negligent or otherwise in any description or as regards any fault or defect in any lot and whether or not derived from attribution or other information provided to Bidders by Antiquorum or by any Antiquorum Company. No responsibility is accepted by Antiquorum to any Bidder in respect of any act or omission (whether negligent or otherwise) by Antiquorum

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.
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),
In addition, with the Experts’ Overall Opinion, clients will benefit from the advice of Antiquorum’s experts as each lot is given a grade based on its overall appreciation.
System, in the Experts’ Overall Opinion or in any other condition report for any lot, are provided for information only and should not be considered as a guarantee of any sort.
Although every effort has been made to remain objective, clients are nonetheless advised that any grading or condition report will, of necessity, be subjective.
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.
Clients are reminded that all statements made in the Antiquorum Grading
will be followed by one or more grading numbers to justify why the lot cannot be considered “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 understand 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
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.
SEE SAMPLE BELOW C 2-8 CASE as new
D 2-01
DIAL as new - original hands
M 3-10* MOVEMENT as new
EXPERTS’ OVERALL OPINION: Exceptional
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. 326
