Ulysse Nardin, San Marco Chronometers This series was produced in several limited editions, since 1992, in 18K yellow gold, 18K pink gold or platinum; some of 12 or 25 and others of 35 examples. Each edition with different historical ships or naval battles on the dials, because the naval history of over 50 countries in the world has been closely associated to Ulysse Nardin for over 100 years. The first polychrome cloisonné enamel dials being enamelled by Michel Vermot, Atelier Donzé, Le Locle. All these watches are Chronometer Officially Certified. At the end of 1990’s, few watches were fitted with platinum engraved dials.On October 12, 1996, to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Ulysse Nardin, Antiquorum, in a thematic auction dedicated to this manufacture, has sold a unique piece especially made for this event featuring a “Epreuve d’Artiste” (Artist Proof) dial showing the Ulysse, a three-masted sailboat (lot 164, sold for the amount of CHF 24 150.

Pride of Baltimore The Pride of Baltimore was a reproduction of a typical early 19th-century “Baltimore clipper” topsail schooner, a style of vessel made famous by its success as a privateer commerce raider and small but nimble warship in the War of 1812 (1812-1815), against British merchant shipping and a vastly superior world-wide Royal Navy.

此系列自1992年起生產過數款分別為18K黃金、18K紅金或鉑金限量版,各 自限量12、25或35枚不等。每款限量版在錶盤上都會展示某些歷史名船艦或 著名海戰,因為雅典與世界上超過50個國家的百年航海史都有密切連繫。第 一款彩色掐絲琺瑯面盤出自日內瓦藝師Michel Vermot之手,系列全款均經過 天文台認證。而至1990年底,有部份錶款則用上鉑金雕刻面盤。1996年10月 12日,安帝古倫為了慶祝雅典150周年而舉行了專場拍賣,便曾經賣出過一 枚同系列錶,錶面上是Ulysse三桅帆船。(拍品164,拍出連佣CHF 24,150)

《巴爾的摩的驕傲》的設計參考了19世紀初期典型的前桅橫帆雙桅船Baltimore clipper,這款船因為袖用作私 有武裝船搶掠英國商船,及在1812戰爭中被徵用成戰船對抗英國皇家艦隊而聲名大噪。

此拍品錶盤上的掐絲琺瑯圖屬於西班牙主題的其中一枚,描繪鬥牛勇士 場景。

TAG HEUER MONACO V4, STAINLESS STEEL; LIMITED EDITION NO. 70 / 200 豪雅,Monaco V4,精鋼自動上鍊腕錶,限量70/200,附配件

The V4, named for the V-shaped late that carries the four barrels mounted on ballbearings that were designed to look like the cylinders of a Formula 1 car engine. Its belt drive doesn’t move in the usual way and to this day is a symbol of TAG Heuer’s constant desire to innovate and separate from the pack. The Monaco V4 took five years of research before it hit the market and is constantly being retested and updated. Even as it gets better with age, the Monaco V4 remains a homage to its original 1969 model and a wearable manifestation of TAG Heuer’s passion for motor racing and avant-garde spirit.

V4以裝有具滾珠軸承四個發條盒的V形夾板聞名於世;其設計就像F1賽車的引擎。其皮 帶驅動系統有別於傳統,至今仍代表著豪雅對創新破格的不懈追求。研創摩納哥 (Monaco) V4腕錶歷時五年,自面世後仍不斷重覆測試,改良設計。摩納哥V4腕錶隨年月更顯 珍貴,不變的是對1969年初始錶款的敬意,於腕上體現豪雅對賽車的熱忱和前衛精神。

Manufacture Royale, 1770 Voltige “Manufacture Royale’s brand new 1770 Voltige perpetuates the brand’s dedication to respecting traditional horology while reinterpreting design codes, resulting in a bold timepiece that displays the escapement as the focal point of the dial. Named after the French word voltige (meaning acrobatics), the 1770 Voltige’s escapement spins on itself continuously at 12 o’clock. The rest of the dial remains uncluttered so as to keep the focus on the beauty of the escapement in action, featuring only the Manufacture Royale inscription at three o’clock, a small seconds sub-dial at six o’clock and enlarged hour–and–minute hands to indicate the time. A domed sapphire crystal covers the dial of the watch, giving it a structural effect. Just like all models in the 1770 Collection, the 1770 Voltige flaunts the line’s elegant round case with its sides extending to form the lugs. Designed by renowned watch designer Eric Giroud, the shape of the case is not only aesthetically appealing, but it also increases the comfort of the wristwatch when worn at is hugs the wrist perfectly. The 1770 Voltige is available in a stainless steel 45 mm case with a sapphire crystal case back, offering a glimpse of the automatic movement beating at its heart.” Manufacture Royale, 1770 Voltige Wong, Suzanne, “Revolution presents Enlightened Horology, Manufacture Royale” (12 pp.). Manufacture Royale的全新1770 Voltige這款時計 大膽地將擒縱系統作為錶盤的焦點。以法語單詞 voltige(意為雜技)命名,1770 Voltige的擒縱系 統在12點鐘位置持續轉動。大部分的錶盤保持簡 潔,使目光集中於轉動中擒縱系統的美感上。

Laurent Ferrier, Galet Classic Secret This spectacular and highly technical piece conceals an ingenious complication. Beneath its classic wristwatch appearance lies a mechanism conceived and developed by Laurent Ferrier: a device that pivots the dial’s two opaque crystals a full 240° like a fan opening to reveal a second hand-decorated dial. Developed on the basis of its “Tourbillon Double Balance Spring” calibre, this complication opens and closes the dial by the fan-like rotation of two opaque sapphire crystals. A Swiss invention patent has been filed for it (No. 701 406 A1, delivered on July 3, 2009).

89

Audemars Piguet, “Jules Audemars, Equation du Temps” The “Jules Audemars, Equation of Time” was introduced into the market in 2000 and incorporates a perpetual calendar with leap year indicator. This complicated wristwatch mechanically tracks the time of sunrise and sunset for the designated city indicated on the bezel or around the dial under the crystal glass, and accurately shows the difference between mean solar time and sidereal time. The “Equation of Time” and its 423 components is another example for Audemars Piguet’s dedication to the art of fine watchmaking. The equation of time is the difference between true solar time and mean time: true solar time, given by sundials, varies from day to day because of the Earth’s elliptical orbit, and according to the longitude of the point of observation. Mean time, given by watches, ignores these variations and for every day of the year mathematically divides time into equal hours.

Produced in a limited quantity each year since 2000. Since the 2010’s, a “Royal Oak” version is also available. Equation of time An equation of time watch shows the difference between “true” solar time (that of Nature) and “mean” solar time (that of Man). This rare horological complication is usually combined with other “astronomical” indications. The Earth makes an elliptical orbit around the Sun; also, its axis is tilted from perpendicular to the plane of the equator. For these two reasons, a “true” solar day, which is the interval of time between two “true” noons when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky, is never the same length over the course of the year. It’s exactly 24 hours long on just four days: April 15th, June 14th, September 1st and December 24th. In an unchanging cycle, all the other days are either longer or shorter. This difference, which ranges from less 16 minutes and 23 seconds on November 4th to plus 14 minutes and 22 seconds on February 11th, is the “equation of time”. Watchmakers have always vied to find ingenious ways to convey these celestial mechanics. Because these variations occur identically on the same dates, they can be “programmed” by means of a cam making one complete rotation each year. This extremely sophisticated horological complication first appeared on long-case clocks. It was then miniaturised to fit inside a pocket watch and later, in the 20th century, a wristwatch. Rarely seen alone, the equation of time is a “classic” feature of any “ultra-complicated” watch. There are different ways to show the equation of time. Most watches prefer a hand sweeping a subsidiary dial or arc, graduated from 16 to + 14 minutes. This requires a little mental arithmetic by the wearer, adding or subtracting to calculate true time from mean time. Simpler to use but more complex to make, the “running equation” (équation marchante) has two coaxial minute hands, one to show mean solar time and the other true solar time at a glance. For many years this sophisticated system was found only on pocket watches, although the first wristwatches with running equation were recently unveiled. On the subject of innovations, watchmakers have devised systems for reading the equation of time at a specific longitude and not for an entire time zone, thereby further enhancing precision. Sunrise and Sunset Period between the rising and setting of the Sun. A 24-hour interval, determined by the Earth’s rotation on its axis.

In production from 1995 to 2003, reference 5041 is undoubtedly the rarest and probably the least produced modern perpetual calendar. With a total production believed to be from 30 to 40 units only, the Ref. 5041 (available in white gold only) had various minor differences in comparison to its sister Ref. 5040: 1. Bezel, while reference 5040 has a rounded bezel, this reference has an enlarged, flat bezel; 2. Dial, only available in black on reference 5041, its differences lie mainly in the outer minute markers (rather than a rail track, it has simple dot markers) and the Breguet numerals rather than Arabic numerals. The certificate mentioned that this watch was sold on July 10, 2004 於1995至2003年間生產,5041型號腕錶無疑是最稀有 且可能是產量最少的現代萬年曆錶。 據估這款腕錶的產量只有30-40只。5041(只有白金款 式)與其姊妹型號5040相異之處有二:一)錶圈:5040 型號的錶圈較圓,而這款型號的錶圈則較寬且扁平; 二)錶盤:5041型號只有黑色錶盤款,最大的不同處在 於外圈的分鐘刻度——本款腕錶使用簡單的點狀刻度而 非鐵道刻度,並以寶璣式數字替代阿拉伯數字。 證明書上註明此腕錶於2004年7月10日售出。

SESSION 1

In 1995, Patek Philippe offered the full range for sale: yellow gold, white gold, pink gold and platinum. Only one dial colour – opaline grey – was available for the four different metals, but it was possible to choose between indexes or Roman numerals. However, only around 30 examples were made in pink gold, white gold and platinum with Roman numeral dials.

In 1993-1995 when the reference was first shown, this complication went largely unnoticed. It was only when the watch was discontinued in 20012002 that it became a sought-after complication, by then widely used by other brands. This type of perpetual calendar with retrograde date was subsequently used on the well-known minute repeater, Ref. 5016. With the day and month visible in an aperture (small window), as well as the leap year indication, it was the successor to Ref. 3450, and like 3450, was produced in very small quantities.

The 19th century was the century in which watchmakers focused their attention on the development of synthetic oils that will allow their timepieces to stand the test of time, while the first half of the 20th century will find “Definitive” solutions – still used today – and that only the quartz revolution will hurt as it has damaged the whole of the watch industry. Since the revival of mechanical watchmaking in the late 1980’s, the use of new materials in the construction of watch movements has not been the main focus of watchmaking. Yet at the dawn of the new millennium, interest in this issue reappears. In 2001, the Swiss watch industry – consisting of Patek Philippe, Ulysse Nardin, The Swatch Group, Rolex and the Swiss Center for Electronics and Micro-Technology – in a joint effort, aims to develop and introduce into the production of their movements a new material called “silicium”. The benefit of using “silicium” can enhance the efficiency of timekeeping as it is non-magnetic, resistant to corrosion and shock and does not require excessive amount of lubrication, … what many watchmakers have dreamed about in the past!

In the 90s was an inventive era for Rolex as they began to merge various types of hard-stones with dial production. Rolex produced either onyx or lapis lazuli dials for ref.16618 .Since the process of manufacture was very complicated that it’s estimated that out of 10 dials only 2 can pass the rigorous Rolex inspection. To our best knowledge, only about 8 to 10 examples offered in the auction in the past 25 years The present lot is in excellent condition and is one of only a few Submariners with lapis lazuli dials to ever come to market. 勞力士型號11618, 黃金Submariner配青金石錶盤,在市場上極為罕見。 在90年代是勞力士的創新時代,他們開始採用不同種類的礦石生產錶盤, 但製造過程非常複雜,產量非常少,估計每10個錶盤只有2個錶盤能夠達 到勞力士的質量標準。據我們所知,在過去25年,只有8-10枚這款錶在 拍賣出現。 -

Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos Clock The Atmos clock was invented by Neuchâtel engineer Jean-Léon Reutter (1899-1971). From his youth, he was preoccupied by the idea of industrially producing a clock that could be wound by atmospheric fluctuations, and in 1928 he succeeded.

Jérôme Boutteçon Master inlayer, received the 1994 award as France’s finest craftsman. The marquetry of this clock contains around forty different species of wood.

In fact, in a hermetically sealed capsule is a gas that expands and contracts in response to even minute changes in temperature and causes mechanical movement.

On the front of the clock, the secret drawer can be inlaid, either with “Aurora” (aurora / dawn) or “Crépuscule (dusk) or “Le Temps qui passe” (The Time that passes); three scenes inspired by Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939).

Reutter’s patent was first licensed to a French company who exploited it until 1935. Around 3 000 examples were produced.

International auction houses have already sold the following clocks of these three series of 25 pieces each:

Subsequently, it was purchased by Jaeger-LeCoultre. After difficult early years, by 1979 there were half a million such clocks which quickly became popular and prestigious gifts for the important heads of states during their visits to Switzerland.

Secret drawer with “Aurora” motif: -

No. 4; Antiquorum, Geneva, May 12, 2013, lot 177, for the amount of CHF 60 000.-

The Atmos is a clock “qui vit de l’air du temps” (who lives on air).

Atmos du Millénaire Marqueterie, “Aurore”, “Crépuscule” and “Le Temps qui passe”

Secret drawer with “Crépuscule” motif:

This extraordinary “Atmos du Millénaire Marqueterie” was made in 1999 in a limited edition of three series of 25 pieces each, to celebrate the third Millennium (under the Reference 555.126.3).

-

With the 1 000-year full calendar and perpetual barometric pressure-driven movement JaegerLeCoultre began a “1 000-year journey” beginning on January 1st 2000. The clock would serve as “the precious receptacle of 1 000 years of important moments, traditions, secrets and joys, which undoubtedly would flow through the tide of countless generations”. Therefore, the secret drawer has been fitted with ten lacquered engraved gilt tubes each containing a parchment. The pen and ink are provided so that generations of owners will be able to “record significant family exploits or the grand hours of the millennium”. As a significant record in the Atmos history, Jaeger-LeCoultre recorded all the names of the owners of these “Atmos du Millénaire Marqueterie” clocks. Written down on parchment these names are stored in a sealed spherical glass container. This container is now in the private collection of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre in Le Sentier (Vallée de Joux), Switzerland.

Alphonse (Alfons) Mucha Born in 1860 in Ivancice Moravia, he worked as a fresco painter in Germany before moving to Paris in 1887 to study at the Académie Julian. At the age of 34, Mucha had his breakthrough after seven years of struggles. A poster he had been commissioned to create for Sarah Bernhardt’s play, “Gismonda”, gave rise in 1895 to the Art Nouveau style of painting. Almost overnight he became famous. Over the following years, Mucha created some of the most instantly recognizable Art Nouveau images, including a series of posters entitled the “Four Seasons”. Mucha was such an influential persona and artist that when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia in 1939 he was one of the first people brought in for questioning. This session with the Gestapo was to mark the end, and shortly afterward he died on July 14, 1939.

Muchas Reverso The Reverso has, since its conception in the 1930’s, been the “canvas” of choice for horological engravers and enamellers. One of the first examples of the enamellers art being applied to the Reverso was in 1932 when the Maharaja of Karputala, a collector of enamels, commissioned LeCoultre to produce 50 watches with his effigy in enamel on the reverse. This was to start a trend which has been one of the Reverso’s most endearing qualities, the possibility of personalizing the plain surface of the back of the case. In 1991, Miklos Merczel, one of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s master watchmakers specializing in complications, was at the Basel Fair when he spotted an antique enamelled pocket watch. This was the spark which ignited his passion for enamelling. Having trained as a watchmaker in his native Hungary, Merczel left upon receiving his watchmaking diploma at 17, traveling first to Italy and then to France a year later. He began working in the Cartier service department specializing in complications. From here he moved to Jeager-LeCoultre, having already gained a familiarity with their movements. It was after seeing the watch at the Basel fair that he began to focus his talents on enamelling. A self-taught enameller Merczel gained the title of Master Enameller in 1995. One year later Merczel unveiled his first set of enamelled Reverso, the “Four Seasons”, inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha. This enamelling artist retired in 2017 These exceptional watches are an excellent representation of the use of 20th century motifs taken from one of the most influential stylists of the century, executed by one of the few masters of a rapidly disappearing art, and applied to one of the most recognizable horological designs of all time. Alphonse (Alfons) Mucha Born in 1860 in Ivancice Moravia, he worked as a fresco painter in Germany before moving to Paris in 1887 to study at the Académie Julian. At the age of 34, Mucha had his break-through after seven years of struggles.

When the “Grande et Petite Sonnerie au passage et Répétition des quarts” was created during the 1990’s, for almost 120 years, complicated watches from Audemars Piguet have been an ongoing source of astonished and fascination. In 1885, Jules-Louis Audemars (1851-1918) and Edward-Auguste Piguet (1853-1919) created their first “Grande Sonnerie” pocket watch. Over the years, the master watchmakers of the Manufacture have perfected the art of fashioning this type of model. In 1990, drawing on the know-how handed down from generation to generation, they were able to totally recreate a “Grande Sonnerie” pocket watch. Four years later, they have gone a step further in producing the “Grande Sonnerie” wristwatch with hour and quarter repeater and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock. The very first of its kind to house a miniaturised movement, it’s living proof that their master watchmakers continue to exercise their craft in accordance with the philosophy of the two company founders: “innovation in harmony with tradition”. Three years of work and over 1 000 scale drawings were required in order to arrive at the final version. In addition to being a world premiere, this watch represents a significant watchmaking achievement. Its miniaturised, manual winding movement, Cal. 2868, comprises overs 410 part within a diameter of 28.6 mm. and a total height of 5.2 mm. its hand-finished mechanism is fitted with 51 ruby bearings to ensure accuracy and long life. The “Grande Sonnerie” was designed using technology and crafted in harmony with the highest standards of the watchmakers’ art.

118

SESSION 1

The wristwatch has a “Grande Sonnerie” and “Petite Sonnerie” switch making it possible to strike “en passant” (in passing), the hours and the quarters or only the hours. The two “Sonneries” strike in passing automatically. The “Petite Sonnerie” only strikes the hours while the “Grande Sonnerie” strikes the hours and the quarters. Moreover, a silent governor eliminates the noise of the mechanism during striking. The “Petite Sonnerie” has an autonomy of around 32 hours, while that of the “Grande Sonnerie” range from 8 to 10 hours, The “Sonnerie” may then be simply rewound by turning the crown clockwise. The striking mechanism functions independently of the movement and cannot be thrown out of order. Thus, when the autonomy of the “Sonneries” is exhausted, simply rewinding the mechanism will ensure they automatically strike the correct time. The push-button at 10 o’clock releases on request the striking mechanism for the hours and quarters. Later, in 2002, Audemars Piguet introduces the “Jules Audemars, Grande Sonnerie Carillon” (Ref. 25 825), made in a limited edition in pink gold and in platinum. The minute repeater carillon is a mechanism of great complexity which strikes the hours, quarters, and minutes on request. These indications are obtained by 3 hammer strokes on different gongs: a low pitched one for the hours, a high pitched one for the minutes, plus one of intermediate pitch. Used in conjunction with the others, this last one provides a carillon effect on the quarter hours. The striking power is precisely calculated to achieve subtle balance. If too strong, it would muffle the sound; if too weak, the sound would be inaudible. With a long tradition of producing highly complicated repeaters, Audemars Piguet developed the first minute-repeating mechanism for a wristwatch in 1985. During movement assembly, the watchmaker has to hand-finish many of these components to achieve the desired result. This time-consuming process involves constant testing, yet is necessary for the harmonious interaction of the numerous components. While minute repeaters chime hours, quarters and minutes on 2 gongs with 2 hammers, the “Jules Audemars, Grande Sonnerie Carillon”, will chime the quarters with 3 hammers on 3 gongs, adding a further tone to the “ding-dong” enchanted connoisseurs are so familiar with. Each of these pieces represent a veritable “tour de force” of watchmaking Art and can be considered as a “milestone” in the history of the 20th century wristwatch. Having been made of steel, this unique piece of 1997, with its “military”-type dial is actually ahead of its time a generation! It was probably made on special order for an important person in our World.

Inspired by a unique piece that dates back to 1940 (kept in the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva), it incorporates a new self-winding movement developed by the manufacture which pairs the two functions in an innovative way. The blue-opaline dial (with 18K white gold applied hour markers with luminescent coating) is decorated with a circular guilloché (engine-turned) pattern crafted by hand.

Patek Philippe, Reference 5971 P, platinum chronograph with perpetual calendar The Ref. 5970 – a writs-chronograph with perpetual calendar – represents a “Must” in the production of the Genevan manufacture. This model is the heir to an impressive series of watches that have wrought - if need be! - the reputation of the brand among collectors. It all started in the 1940’s with the launch of Ref. 1518, which will be followed in the 1950’s by Ref. 2499, then in the 1980’s by the Ref. 3970. If these models are now highly coveted by amateurs, it is due to the fact that after the Second World War, Patek Philippe was the only watchmaker in the world to be able to produce in series this kind of parts, certainly in a few examples each year but of a remarkable quality of execution. The Ref. 5970 was launched in 2004 and will be produced until 2011. It remains today a very popular model among collectors, not only because its classic line is timeless but also because it incorporates the latest movements of manual-winding chronograph made by the manufacture (based on a highly improved Lémania calibre) – the Cal. CH 27-70 Q –, before Patek Philippe presents his own movement used for his new Ref. 5270. The Ref. 5971 was launched in 2007, with a platinum case, a bezel set with 36 baguette diamonds (total weight around 4 carats, Top Wesselton quality) and a black lacquered dial. It remains available in the product catalogue for just three years. It can therefore be reasonably assumed that the number of examples sold should not exceed one hundred units. The Ref. 5971 remains in the eyes of connoisseurs the “Classic column-wheel chronograph with perpetual calendar, accented by the eternal fire of diamonds”.

Patek Philippe, Reference 5102, “Celestial” The “Celestial” model was introduced at the 2002 Basel Fair, under the Ref. 5102.

The disks move as follows: -

A counter-clockwise turn of the sky disc equals 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4,09892 seconds (sidereal day) and indicates the meridian passage of Sirius and the star positions.

-

A counter-clockwise revolution of the moon disc equals 24 hours, 50 minutes and 28,328 seconds (lunar day) and indicates the meridian passage and angular motion of the moon.

In April 2001 Patek Philippe had unveiled the “Sky Moon Tourbillon”, a “Grand Complication” wristwatch that displayed celestial motions with incredible accuracy.

-

A clockwise half-turn of the moon phase equals 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2,82 seconds, and indicates one full lunation.

Benefiting from Patek’s experience in astronomy, mathematics and microengineering, the watch incorporated further miniaturised astronomical functions, combining them with a tourbillon regulator and a minute-repeater with long circumference “cathedral” gongs utilising a special steel alloy.

The “Celestial” movement consists of 301 hand-finished parts; all steel parts are beveled and polished. Production tolerances are extremely small; the teeth of every gear wheel are manually polished with a rotating hardwood disc. This not only creates a beautiful, perfectly smooth surface, it also reduces friction at critical points of contact, thus assuring precise indications and extended longevity of the watch.

Two years earlier, the “Star Caliber 2000” had made headlines as one of the most complicated pocket watches ever produced, featuring exact configurations of the nocturnal skies with its star movements, moon position and moon phases. This watch followed famous earlier supercomplicated Patek Philippe watches such as the “Packard” (1924), the “Graves Super-Complication” (1933) and the “Calibre 89” (1989).

The “Celestial” wristwatch displays the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere by utilizing 3 superimposed sapphire disks, which rotate at different speeds in order to show the angular motions of the stars and the moon as well as the moon phase progressions. The disks are covered by the front sapphire crystal with its inner ellipse, framing the visible portion of the skies above Geneva. The rotation speed of each disk required a particular transmission ratio to assure the greatest accuracy of the astronomic indications. Patek Philippe calculated 25 trillion ratio combinations to attain the highest degree of accuracy.

140 SESSION 1

It takes several months to assemble a “Celestial” wristwatch and quantities are very limited due to the lengthy processes of assemblage and regulation. It is an utmost pleasure to wear this divinely complicated and precise miniature cosmos on the wrist. In 2012, Patek Philippe introduced in the market its new “Celestial”, under the Ref. 6102, with a new style case and an additional date function.

They were available with either black or opal (white) Perspex (Lucite) panels and the bee motif seems the most soughtafter of the four. Home aquariums became popular in the 1950s and the use of tropical fish as decorative motifs has become associated with the 1950s and 60s. The Perspex (Lucite) panels, with three-dimensional inset castings of fish and plants, were no doubt inspired by the famous Dunhill aquarium table lighters of the 1950s.

Vincenti & Cie, Paris Jean (Giovanni) Vincenti (1788-1833), a native of Corsica, established the watch manufactory Vincenti & Cie in 1823 (October, 6) in Montbéliard (Doubs, France). Due to financial difficulties a few years later, the company had to file for bankruptcy in 1828. Factory manager Jean-Albert Roux took over some of Vincenti’s shares and Vincenti & Cie was able to resume production in 1829. Despite suffering from ill-health, company founder Vincenti went out to seek new production methods. He met Henri Laresche in Paris, who became his advisor in this matter. Six years after the bancruptcy the company was able to win a Silver medal for its clocks in 1834 in Paris. Jean Vincenti did not live to see the comeback, he died in 1833. After his death, Albert Roux took over the company which went on to win a Gold medal in the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1855. Vincenti & Cie existed until 1923. Jean (Giovanni) Vincenti (1788-1833) 出身法國科西嘉島,並在1823 年成立工廠Vincenti & Cie,短短5年後因為財政困難而破產,幸有時 任經理Jean-Albert Roux購入部份股份,而令工廠得以繼續營運。創辦 人Vincenti當時抱病外出尋找新的生產模式,並在巴黎認識顧問Henri Laresche,在此人的幫助下,公司在六年後1834年以一款鐘贏得銀獎, 但可惜Vincenti無緣得見,因為他在1833年辭世。Vincenti死後由Albert Roux接掌工廠,並在1855年巴黎世界博覽會贏得金獎,而VINCENTI & CIE這個品牌亦一直營運至1923年。


IMHOF INCLINED PLANE CLOCK, GILDED BRASS AND WOOD Arthur Imhof SA,鍍金青銅木製8日鏈鐘

Inclined plane clock This clock is based on a system already used at the beginning of the 17th century. The motive force of the clock is provided by a weight placed inside the movement acting against the resistance of the development of the going train, thus replacing the barrel. On the axis of the centre wheel is fixed a lever with a weight which serves as a speed regulator. During the descent, the cylinder drives the movement and the dial, while the hour hand (or the hour and minute hands) weighted remains fixed and indicates the countdown time of the movement of said cylinder. This clock does not need to be wind; it is placed manually, every week, at the top of the inclined plane in order to cover the slope in seven days.

Like many so-called fancy clocks, these kinds of pieces regularly return to fashion. We know some rare examples of clocks that descend on an inclined plane of the 17th century and some more or less detailed descriptions. The Arthur Imhof SA house in La Chaux-de-Fonds has made a specialty of this type of clock since the 1980’s.

斜面鐘的結構系統始見於17世紀初,主要利用一個置於機芯內部的砝碼的重量,與斜 面軌道下滑的速度抗衡,從而取代擺輪。在機芯的中心輪軸上置有擒縱馬仔,再連至 砝碼,以作速度調控。時鐘運作昤,圓桶會帶動機芯及面盤沿斜道滑行,直至指針走 至和能和砝碼重量相稱的位置停下,並再度預示下一次滾動的時間。在這種設計下, 此鐘不需上鍊,只需每星期以人手將鐘放在斜面上坡處,即可維持一周運作。一如過 去很多設計花巧的時鐘,這些設計每隔一段時間便會再度流行。我們現今也能從史藉 中找到17世紀對此類斜面鐘的描述。而自1980年代起,瑞士拉紹德封的Arthur Imhof SA house便專門生產這種鐘。

Universal Compax “Nina Rindt” and “Evil Nina Rindt” The Compax wrist-chronograph, Reference 885 103 / 02, from Universal Geneva is now nicknamed by collectors “Nina Rindt” in tribute to the wife (born in 1943) of Karl Jochen Rindt (1942-1970), German-born racing driver who represents Austria during his career. On September 5, 1970, he accidentally died in the practices of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and became the only pilot to be posthumously awarded the title of Formula 1 World Champion. This is a black and white photo of Mrs. Rindt in August 1970 which is the origin of this nickname. We see it at the Austrian Grand Prix at Österreichring (August 16) – where Jochem gets the Pole position on his Lotus-Ford but could not start because of technical problems – wearing a Universal Compax with dial white background and black counters, so-called “Panda”, reference 885 103 / 02. By opposition, the watch with black background and white counters, reference 885 103 / 01, is nicknamed “Evil Nina Rindt”.

HKD 64,000 – 96,000 | CHF 8,000 – 12,000 | USD 8,200 – 12,300 The Ref. CK 2998 was launched in 1959 and was the successor to the “Broad Arrow”, reference CK 2915. This reference differed from its predecessor in that the “Broad Arrow” hands were replaced with “Alpha” hands and the steel bezel with one with a black insert. There were two generations of this reference: 1. the first, with large dot chronograph hand; 2. the second with baton chronograph hand. This ref. 2998-62 stops with the movement number 19584xxx, and is usually called the “pre-moon” by collectors. Omega Calibre321 with column wheel was created in 1946. It was formerly called “27CHROC12T2”and was used on first generation “moon watches 2”. The calibre was replaced in 1968 with Cal. 861. 歐米茄CK 2998於1959年推出,是配備了「闊箭」 (Broad Arrow)指針的CK 2915之延續錶款。這款錶與前代的不同之處在於,Alpha指針替代了闊箭指針,且不鏽鋼錶圈亦改為黑色錶 圈。此型號的腕錶有前後兩代。第一代配備棒棒糖型大秒針,而第二代則配備了棒型秒針。2998-62型最後的機芯流水號停在19584xxx。收藏家稱這款錶型為pre-moon超霸腕錶。 歐米茄 321機芯配備導柱輪裝置的321機芯最早於1946年製造。正式名稱為27CHROC12T2,用於第一代的 moon watch 2。1968年後861機芯正式取代該款機芯。

The dial features partial hour indicators in Arabic script, with the inscriptions “Saoud Ibn Abdul Aziz” at twelve o’clock and “Jezira el Arabia” at six o’clock (Jezira meaning island in Arabic). The enamel scene is brightly coloured; the Arabian Peninsula rendered in a deep emerald polychrome enamel contrasting with the realistic turquoise blue waters of the surrounding Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf and Gulf of Aden. The hour markers and celebratory inscriptions are set on a pink gold ring surrounding the enamel scene. Two small enamel motifs represent Saudi Arabia; one, the palm tree and crossed swords that is the national emblem of Saudi Arabia adopted in 1950, and the other a mosque, most likely one of the three oldest and most historically important mosques located in Medina. There are unfortunately no archives for Jean Singer’s production after a major fire completely destroyed the Genevan factory on winter 1955. At the same period this watch was produced, Universal Genève made watches with enamel dials representing Egypt, India as well as Saudi Arabia. Presentation Watch A presentation watch is a watch offered by, or on its behalf, by a ruler / leader (Emperor, King, President, Prime Minister, Company Director, etc.) as an acknowledgment or thanks to a third person.

Rolex, Reference 6098 Produced from around 1950 to about 1955, the Ref. 6098 is known to collectors as the pre-Explorer. Developed first as a precision model and later as an officially certified chronometer, it was available in 18K gold and more rarely in steel with either a plain metal or honeycomb dial. As researched, it is also the first watch that is part of the Explorer family and was the only Explorer made with a white dial. The name “Explorer” was registered by Rolex in January 1953. Also according to our research, the dial of the Ref. 6098 was the only model made that did not feature Arabic numerals at the quarters, until the introduction of the Explorer II. The current lot also comes with a “Super-Oyster” winding-crown, please refer to the end of page for further information. 勞力士型號6098於1950年代初投產,亦是很多藏家所熟知的pre-Explorer。此型號最初是屬PRECISION, 但後來則成為Officially Certified Chronometer款。除鋼款外,另有18K黃金款,但鋼款更為罕有。據考它 是整個Explorer家族的第一款作品,並且是唯一一款白色面盤。而Explorer這個系列名稱亦於1953年1月被 勞力士登記註冊。另外據研究,6098的錶盤是唯一一款的刻位 (3,6,9位置) 沒有用亞拉伯數字時標,而這 紀錄在Explorer II面世後被打破。此拍品的錶冠與本頁其餘兩枚同樣使用“Super-Oyster” 上鍊錶冠,詳 情見下文註解。

“Super-Oyster” winding-crown The “Super-Oyster” winding-crown was an attempt by Rolex to create a waterproof winding-crown which did not need to be screwed down. While the system worked, the rubber seal tended to perish over time; thus, this crown type was phased out after only a few years of production. 勞力士研發的“Super-Oyster” 上鍊錶冠能做到毋需下旋亦有防水 功能,然而隨著機件運作,其橡膠封圈日漸損耗,因此只生產了數年 便告停產。

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso After a polo game one day in India, Swiss businessman César de Trey (1876-1953) was challenged by the British officers he had been playing with to design a watch that would resist the rough treatment inflicted on it during the practice of their favourite sport. Upon his return to Europe, de Trey discussed the challenge with Jacques-David LeCoultre (18751948), director of the LeCoultre & Cie manufactory in Le Sentier (Vallée de Joux, canton de Vaud); the firm had been founded in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881).Together with the Parisian firm Jaeger, which had been founded in 1880 by Edmond Jaeger (1858-1922), they created the Reverso watch. The case, designed by French engineer René-Alfred Chauvot, was first patented in France on March 4, 1931 (No. 712 868). It was reversible, and was made up of a mobile portion containing the movement that pivoted within a frame to which the bracelet was fixed. This allowed the watch’s face to be rotated, or reversed, thus protecting the glass. In December 1931, César de Trey, who had bought the rights of Chauvot’s patent, and Jacques-David LeCoultre together founded a distribution company called Spécialités Horlogères (first in Lausanne and then in Geneva), to sell the Reverso as well as the other watches made by LeCoultre & Cie and Jaeger, Paris. The distribution house purchased the patent. In 1937, the company took the name Jaeger-LeCoultre.

By 1931, the Wenger firm of Geneva was entrusted with the production of the cases. While LeCoultre & Cie was developing several calibres destined for ladies’ and men’s Reverso watches, Spécialités Horlogères used a series of movements produced by the Tavannes Watch Co. (in the canton of Bern). Many of these watches were sold by the E. Gübelin firm in Lucerne. 積家Reverso 一場在印度的馬球比賽,催生出積家聞名於世的Reverso腕錶。為了解決 球員在馬球比賽時錶面破裂的苦惱,瑞士鐘錶商César de Trey與瑞士 製錶師Jacques-David LeCoultre,以及巴黎的Jaeger工廠,聯手製作 出Revero腕錶。其標誌性的錶殼是由法國工程師René-Alfred Chauvot 設計,並在1931年在法國取得專利。這款錶殼由錶體、以及連接錶耳 錶帶的框架組成,將錶體沿著框架向外推便可180度翻轉腕錶,從而保 護錶面。1931年de Trey從Chauvot手上買下錶殼的設計使用權,並與 LeCoultre一同成立Spécialités Horlogères以售賣腕錶,此公司後來在 1937年更名Jaeger-LeCoultre。

HKD 200,000 – 360,000 | CHF 25,000 – 45,000 | USD 25,600 – 46,000 The Extract from the Archives, dated September 2018, mentioned that this watch was delivered to the Longines agent, Seelich, Bratislava (Slovaquia), on June 18, 1947. Longines “Hour-Angle” watch The “Hour-Angle” system was invented by Philip Van Horn Weems of the Annapolis Naval Academy, an authority in the 1920’s and 1930’s. He trained the famous Charles A. Lindbergh, who set the record for the first non-stop transoceanic flight. The watch, as a navigational instrument for airplane pilots, is used in conjunction with a sextant and the appropriate nautical tables, to permits the rapid computation of the Greenwich hour angle, that is, the aircraft’s longitude. The large ball-shaped winding-crown enables the watch to be wound by a pilot wearing gloves. It is practically impossible to build a commercial timepiece which will keep time to the exact second under the conditions met in a ship or in an aeroplane. The inevitable variation from true time necessitated an extra calculation in navigation to compensate for this chronometer error. Weems noted that in an airplane moving at speeds of 200 to 300 miles an hour or more, the time required for calculating chronometer error was a danger that should be eliminated. Since the high gear ratio made it impractical to set the second hand to the dial, Weems chose to set the dial to the hands. The seconds dial in the centre of the watch is rotated by turning a crown or by depressing the small stem on other models. For navigational purposes, Greenwich Meantime is indicated directly. This model of watch was worn by Charles A. Lindbergh at Le Bourget Airport, near Paris, the airfield where he landed after opening on May 20-21, 1927, the Atlantic to aviation with his historic solo flight from New York.

180 SESSION 2

The Longines Weems watch is made in two models. The smaller model is useful not only for sea navigators and aircraft pilots, but particularly radio broadcasters as well as others, such as civil engineers who require exact time. “Hour-Angle”系統是由出身安那波裡斯美國海軍官校的軍官Philip Van Horn Weems(威 姆士)發明,而威姆士正是後來憑單獨完不著陸橫越大西洋飛行的飛行員查理斯.林白的教 官。此枚錶本身用作飛行導航,並需結合六分儀及航海圖表,利用格林威治時間的時角去計 算出飛機所處的經度。 錶款上的大型洋蔥錶冠令飛機師即使戴著手套也能上鍊。一般而言,當處於航行狀態時(如 船或飛機中)計時儀器均難以準確至秒,因此需要額外計算時均差,即真太陽時與平太陽時 之差數(亦即角差);而威姆士更注意到當飛機以時速200至300哩飛行時,花在計算時均差 的時間足以釀成危險。因此威姆士在錶盤中央位置放入秒針盤,並且可以利用錶冠或後期型 號的按把快速轉動秒盤,以直接顯示格林威治真時。 1927年5月20日查理斯.林白獨自駕駛單翼機從紐約飛越大西洋,到達巴黎布爾歇機場平安著 陸時,他腕上所戴的,正是這款腕錶。 浪琴的威姆士腕錶生產過兩款,小尺寸的隨了可以供航海及飛行導航,更可以供其他需要準 確時間的職業員使用,如電台或工程師等。 Bibliography 參考資料 Forster, Jack, “The Science, History and Romance behind the Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch”, in www.hodinkee.com.

World Timer Wristwatches by Louis Cottier, Carouge, for Agassiz Watch Co., Geneva Since the late 19th century, when society experienced continuously increasing mobility, watchmakers were challenged to invent new mechanisms to reflect the fact that the globe is divided up into 24 time zones, each representing 15 degrees of longitude starting from the Greenwich Meridian. To make use of this feature, the bezel is first rotated so that a location in the same time zone as the clock is at 12 o’clock. When the local time is set on the main dial, the outer day/night ring can be used to tell the time at any of the locations engraved on the bezel. This ingenious mechanism has been invented and patented by Louis Cottier, a celebrated watchmaker from Geneva who has worked closely with Geneva’s most renowned watch manufacturers such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and Agassiz for example. This “World Time” system was invented around 1935 by Louis Cottier (1894-1966), famous independent watchmaker in Carouge, near Geneva; inventor of several complications applied to both pocket and wristwatches. Cottier delivered a total of around 455 world time movements, both for pocket and wristwatches, to renowned Genevan manufactures; most of them to Patek Philippe, few to Agassiz and very few to Rolex and Vacheron Constantin. Agassiz Watch Co., founded in Geneva in 1876 by Georges Agassiz, produced with the watchmaker two series of wristwatches, most of them for the American market: 14K pink gold, with teardrop lugs (Ø 30 mm.); 14K yellow or pink gold, with hooded down-turned lugs (Ø 32 mm.). Both models with 24-hour revolving dial, for diurnal (day-time) and nocturnal (night-time) hours, and outer graduation bearing the names of 31, 35 or 41 cities in the World.

-

The first series bears a striking resemblance with Patek Philippe’s first serially produced world time wristwatch, reference 1415. Both models share a similar case, dial and even the design of the gold “compass” hands especially made by hand by Cottier himself. While the present watch does not feature a quick setting system for the city ring (in case of travel to another time zone), the ring can be very easily adjusted by opening the case, a simple and convenient solution to the problem. Agassiz Watch Co. SA, Saint-Imier and Geneva The company was founded in 1876. In 1832, Auguste Agassiz, brother of the eminent geologist Louis Agassiz, began a horological business as a wholesaler in Saint-Imier. The manufacture was in fact really founded by his son and not until 1876, after a constructive market research. The company specialised in the production of high quality watches. A new calibre was soon designed, on the basis of regular 19’’’ watch movements, smaller in diameter and as thin as technically possible. Later, in response to wholesalers’ requests, the manufacture began to design movements which were entirely new movements and even thinner: first of 17’’’ 24/12th, and later of 20/12th, and 17/12th. These very thin watches were highly praised by demanding customers. The Agassiz Factory began negotiations with Touchon & Co., a Genevan firm which specialised in the production of very thin movements. A few years later, the two companies merged and the new firm successfully launched on the market extra thin watches of 16 ½ ’’’ 17/12th, 15/12th, 10/12th, and even of 10’’’ 10/12th. The latter movement, fitted in its case, could be concealed in a 20-dollar coin. The firm was awarded the Gold Medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1889 and in 1910, received the highest distinction in Brussels. The company produced these watches for Tiffany. During the 1940’s and at the beginning of the 1950’s, Agassiz produced with Louis Cottier few World Time wrist and pocket watches. At the request of a group of citizens of Geneva who wanted to express their thanks to the Allies at the end of the Second World War, Louis Cottier produced for Agassiz four World Time dress watches in the second part of the year 1945, with gold and enamel cases and polychrome cloisonné enamel dials – now known as “Victory” watches –, especially made for the four commanders of the Allied forces:

- -

Retrograde perpetual calendar Watches with perpetual calendars and fly-back indication of the date, so-called “retrograde”, were produced in very few examples in the 1860-1880’s by some Genevan workshops, including those of Eugène Lecoultre (1819-1882), Henri-Robert Ekegrèn (1823-1896) and Patek, Philippe & Cie. Note that at this time, other watchmakers in the Vallée de Joux produce a few rare pieces with this same horological complication. The Breguet House of Paris on order at Louis Audemars & Cie, Le Brassus (an example made for the Islamic market, No. 5 473 / No. 1 434, was sold by Antiquorum, Geneva, November 13, 2005, lot 71, for the amount of CHF 20 700.-). Eugène Lecoultre is most likely the author of this watch, whose the main-plate is punched “geneve”. Lecoultre, Eugène (1819-1882) Eugène-Constant Lecoultre (originally from Le Chenit, Vallée de Joux) married in 1842, in Geneva, Louise-Jacqueline-Simone Soldano (1820-1858), precision timekeeper adjuster; the couple has three children. He spouse, in second weddings, in 1861, Eglantine Cellier (1838-1924); the couple has 14 children, at least six of whom arrive in adulthood. He seems to open his worshop in Geneva in 1848. He manufactures watches with horological complications, very neat, including those with a retrograde perpetual calendar that seems to his invention. He also looks after the precision adjustment of watches. In 1880, he won a First prize at the timing contest of the Geneva Astronomical Observatory (for a chronometer with lever escapement, Breguet hairspring, set by himself, No. 2 370, with 192.3 points). He is mentioned in Geneva as a manufacturer, adjuster and watchmaker-merchant (in 1848, 1857, 1862, 1874, etc.), under the trade-names Lecoultre-Soldano, Lecoultre-Cellier, and Lecoultre & Cie. He was located in Geneva, 8, rue François Bonivard, at the foot of the Saint-Gervais district, on the right bank of Lake Geneva. A watch with minute-repeater, chronograph and retrograde perpetual calendar, signed by him, was sold by Antiquorum, Geneva, April 18, 1998, lot 561, for the amount of CHF 35 650.His eldest son (from the first marriage), Marius Lecoultre (1847-1915) works with him and takes over the paternal affair; it is to him that we owe the invention of watches known as “Boules de Genève”. Note that the relationship between Eugène-Constant Lecoultre (1819-1882) of Geneva and Charles-Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881) of the Vallée de Joux – founder of what is today the the Jaeger-LeCoultre manufacture on Le Sentier - dates back to eight generations, with the “honorable” Pierre (I) Le Coultre (circa 1532 – circa 1602).

Presentation Watch A presentation watch is a watch offered by, or on its behalf, by a ruler/ leader (Emperor, King, President, Prime Minister, Company Director, etc.) as an acknowledgment or thanks to a third person. Savoie-Villafranca-Soissons, Eugène-Emmanuel de Paris, April 14, 1816 – Turin, December 15, 1888 The Count of Villafranca and Prince of Carignan was an important military and statesman of the 19th century, active in France and Italy. A lover of art and watchmaking, he maintains close contact with Ath.-El. Bourdin, watchmaker and mechanician in Paris. Bourdin, Ath.-El. He is recorded as working in Paris (rue de la Paix, 28), between 1840 and the 1860’s. Well known for the high quality of his works and particularly for his carriage clocks, he regularly presented them in the Paris Exhibitions and won medals in 1844, 1855 and 1867. Some of these earlier clocks are signed “Horloger du Roi” (Watchmaker of the King). With the Breguet, Leroy and Oudin houses of Paris, he is one of the sponsors and / or retailers of the timekeepers manufactured by the Louis Audemars workshops in Le Brassus (Vallée de Joux). 此枚拍品是法國貴族Eugène-Emmanuel de Savoie-Villafranca (18161888)的禮品錶,因為其機芯蓋上刻法文表明此枚錶是由維拉弗曲蘭卡 公爵在1863年所贈。維拉弗曲蘭卡公爵是19世紀歐洲重要的政治及軍 事家,亦是有名的藝術及鐘錶愛好者,他與瑞士鐘錶師Ath.-El. Bourdin 份 熟 友 好 , 而 這 枚 拍 品 亦 是 經 由 Ath.-El. Bourdin購 入 。 所 謂 禮 品 錶 (Presentation Watch) 是由國家的君主或統治者,又或是公司的擁有人訂 製,專門用作禮物的鐘錶。

ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOUIS AUDEMARS HISTORICAL CHRONOMETER WITH UNUSUAL DISENGAGING WINDING SYSTEM, SO-CALLED “REMONTOIR PAR LE PENDANT, SE DÉGAGEANT DE LUI-MÊME, SYSTÈME LOUIS AUDEMARS”

261

Louis Audemars,18K黃金獵殼懷錶 The “remontoir par le pendant, se dégageant de lui-même, système Louis Audemars” The exact name of this invention is found in the Description des montres exposées à Londres par Louis Audemars du Brassus, Suisse, 1862 (Description of the watches exhibited in London by Louis Audemars du Brassus, Switzerland, 1862) (Lausanne, 1862), under No. 1: “... remontoir par le pendant, se dégageant de lui-même, système Louis Audemars” (winding by the pendant, disengaging itself, system Louis Audemars). This printed catalog for the London Universal Exhibition is reproduced by Paul Audemars in his book (2014, pp. 100-103). Hartmut Zanke reproduces in his book a brass watch “calibre” (thin round plate), with the engraved design (front/back) of this type of movement, here with anchor escapement (2003, p.70, ill. T21). It also gives a complete technical explanation of this invention (2003, pp. 128-130). The quality of execution of this timepiece and its serial number, as well as similar models, allow us to attribute it to the Louis Audemars House from Le Brassus to the Vallée de Joux. It should be noted, thanks to the Historical Archives of Audemars, that the cost price and the selling price of these timepieces are very substantial. It should be noted, however, that the production sheets of the watch No. 10 739 are unfortunately no longer present in the Historical Archives of the Louis Audemars House, now kept by Mr. Paul Audemars in England. The watch No. 10 740, which appears in the Historical Archives of the Louis Audemars House, is dated 1876. Our watch, which bears the previous number, mentions on the reverse side of the dial, on the counterenamel, the date of the July 19, 1876. Champion de Nansouty, Charles Dijon (Côte-d’Or), February 20, 1815 – Dax (Landes), March 14, 1895 French soldier who, after his retirement from Brigadier-General, devoted himself to the creation of the observatory of the Pic du Midi of Bigorre (Hautes-Pyrénées), located at 2 876 meters above sea level. This man experienced a busy life climbing one by one all the way up the military career. His whole character (impulsive and stubborn but loyal) led him to refuse to surrender to the Prussians in 1870 at the end of the battle of Sedan (during the night of the September 1st and 2nd), where he saved the lives of thousands of French soldiers.

Setbacks with the new government led him to take early retirement after forty years of service, he then devoted his time to the meteorological studies and to the creation of an observatory. Disgusted with men, he prefers to go to live at an altitude of two thousand meters above them, on a deserted rock. 本枚拍品的特別之處在於製錶師採用了一個不常見的無匙上鍊裝置:通 過懷錶兩點鐘位置的滑桿去激活離合裝置從而為懷錶上鍊。這種裝置由 Louis Audemars發明,當時被形容為Louis Audemars裝置。另外看這 枚拍品的品質和做工,加上錶身編號,足以合理推斷其應該出自Louis Audemars工坊。並且從錶廠的歷史紀錄中得知,這類錶在當時不論是製 作成本抑或是售價均相當高昂,可惜此拍品(編號10739)的生產紀錄 已經散佚,無從查考。原廠紀錄中有關於下一枚懷錶編號10740是記於 1876年,而今次拍品的錶盤背面,同樣刻有日期1976年7月19日。 另外,本枚拍品亦與19世紀一位傳奇的法國軍人查爾士.南蘇蒂 (Charles Champion de Nansouty) 有關。首先,懷錶外蓋一面刻有紋 章及格言“AUDAX SED FIDELIS”,即「大膽而赤誠」;而另一面則是 C.C.N的花式字樣,亦是南蘇蒂的全名縮寫。南蘇蒂本人也過著個相當傳 奇的人生,他生性倔強不羈,但骨子裡卻是忠誠不二,參軍之後一直在 軍隊中力爭上游。在1870年色當會戰 (Battle of Sedan) 中,法國無法抵 擋德軍而宣佈投降,但南蘇蒂卻堅拒不降,拯救了數千計的法國將士性 命。而戰後新政府成立,他效命四年後有感難以再與人共處,因此毅然 辭職,投入氣象學研究,更在海拔二千多米法國比利牛斯山脈的南峰自 己興建了一個氣象觀測站,離群索居,真奇人也。

The Louis Audemars Extract from the Archives, dated September 2018, mentioned that this watch appears in a full-page entry in a “Register of Superior Watches”. Production was started on February 24, 1873. The Register shows the dates and the costs of the various operations, the names of the operatives and outworkers who worked on the movement and the weight and cost of the gold and other metals used. Final regulation of the movement was made by Jules Reymond on April 13, 1875. The case was made by Meylan Frères and supplied on May 8, 1875. The final cost of production was 1 178.10 Francs. The watch was shipped to Louis Audemars’ Russia stock on May 29, 1876. It’s also appears in the inventory, dated June 30, 1880, of Audemars’ Eastern Europe agent M. Jules Jaques showing that seven years after the start of its manufacture, it remained unsold, with a stock value of 2 500.- Francs. The Breguet Certificate, mentioned that this watch was completed on September 5, 1885, and delivered on December 29, 1885, for the amount of 2 500 francs, to Messieurs Mir et Cottereau, their agent in Constantinople (Istanbul) for the Islamic market at the end of the 19th century. Clearly the watch had at some time been recovered from the Eastern European stock by the Audemars family and was sold during the liquidation process to Breguet during the three months after the bankruptcy of the Louis Audemars enterprise. One of the smallest repeating pocket watches with perpetual calendar ever made The present watch can be considered exceptional as one of, if not the smallest pocket watch ever made with perpetual calendar and repeating. The desire to miniaturise timepieces is an ideal inherent to the watchmaker’s art. The present watch must represent what was an unparalleled accomplishment at its time of manufacture. Much smaller watches are known to exist, however one of 13’’’ with perpetual calendar, phases of the moon and repetition would have been unheard-of.

212 SESSION 2

The firm of Louis Audemars was well known for their ability to create movements of great complexity; this watch is an extraordinary example of their art combining complexity and miniaturisation and would have surely been the smallest watch of its type in 1873. No other 13’’’ or smaller watches with the same complications are known to have been manufactured until the 1930’s. Bibliography Zantke, Hartmut, Louis-Benjamin Audemars his Life and Work, the Rise and Fall of a Watchmaking Dynasty, Leonberg, Sozialkartei-Verlag, 2003 (507 pp.), p. 180, 335 (No. 62). Audemars’ perpetual calendar with leap-years display This type of perpetual calendar with the indication of the exact duration of each month for the 48 months of the cycle, including February 29 every four years, is designed and developed since 1860 by Charles-Henri Audemars (1829-1906), the youngest son of the watchmaker’s founder. It then replaces the pocket watches with retrograde perpetual calendar (more delicate of use and more expensive in manufacturing cost) – of which Eugène-Constant Lecoultre (1819-1882) made a specialty in Geneva – and is essential little by little throughout the watch industry. This new perpetual calendar mechanism is extensively described and illustrated in the Journal Suisse d’Horlogerie (Swiss Journal of Watchmaking) in July 1885, allowing all watchmakers to build such a watch. This system which is said to be traînant (dragging) is then improved with the invention in 1889 of the instantaneous and simultaneous jump of the calendar-discs by the Genevan manufacture Patek, Philippe & Co. (Swiss invention Patent No. 1 018, of May 23, 1889).


Louis Audemars House, Jules Jaques and the Imperial Austrian and Russian Markets Circa 1865, discussions were held with a relative of the Audemars family, M. Jules Jaques, who represented the great watchmaking house of Mermod Frères of SainteCroix (Neuchâtel Canton) in Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russian Empire. An arrangement was concluded by which M. Jaques would take charge of a stock depot of Louis Audemars watches for sale in these areas and which because of their higher prices, would not compete with the lower value products of Mermod Frères. The sale of their watches in Eastern Europe produced a great bonus for the Louis Audemars business, because watches sold there had (by law) to carry the maker’s name. This was a magnificent advertisement for them, the effects of which were soon apparent. Because they continued to apply the same rigorous principles (of quality) in their production as before, the retailers of watches very soon realised the value of their products and could recommend them with confidence. That resulted in important orders from many members of the Russian Aristocracy. The distribution of these watches carrying the Louis Audemars signature also produced repercussions in other European capitals where comparisons could be made (with other products). Business in Austria and Russia prospered for about a decade under the management of Jules Jaques, but it began to wane when he went back to live in Geneva after the Universal Vienna Exhibition of 1873. He went to those countries twice a year, but the journeys became increasingly sporadic, which doubtless upset his customers. He then had the unhappy idea of replacing the stock of good watches from Mermod Frères with others he bought in or had made for him. This upset his customers even more and placed him in direct competition with the Mermod salesmen. Little by little, he lost his quality customers which were replaced by second rate buyers who insisted on long credit, increasing the probabilities of losses and the claims and actions consequent upon them.

Disorder, fatigue and his advancing age meant that the excellent sales of Audemars watches between 1870 and 1880 in these two immense countries had been greatly reduced by the time of the liquidation in 1885. Louis Audemars House and Breguet House After a few years of intense collaboration started circa 1876-1877, on September 20, 1881, the house Breguet officially enters in association with the house Audemars, under the commercial reason “Louis Audemars et Brown, fabricant d’horlogerie (maison Breguet), 12, rue de la Paix, Paris”, “société en nom collectif” (partnership); this for the commercial exploitation of watches, mainly in France. Louis-Clément Breguet (1804-1883), grand-son of Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823), has in fact ceded since 1870 the direction of the watchmaking branch of the house to Edouard Brown (1829-1895), an English active at Breguet since 1855, became his workshop chief. This association takes place under the auspices of the Union Vaudoise du Crédit, which then lends the sum of 250 000 Francs; the house of Brassus providing a guarantee of 150 000 Francs in watches at the Parisian house. On the one hand, if this new business is flourishing, it forces, on the other, the watchmakers in the Vallée de Joux to reduce their production to their other deposits and customers. After the bankruptcy of the Vaudois in 1885, the Parisian house will be forced to repay the Swiss bank. This association is officially dissolved on June 21, 1886. Our watch, featuring the famous leap-year perpetual calendar, is a beautiful testimony of this page of forgotten history of these two great houses.

Presentation Watch A presentation watch is a watch offered by, or on its behalf, by a ruler / leader (Emperor, King, President, Prime Minister, Company Director, etc.) as an acknowledgment or thanks to a third person. Mir Osman Ali Khan (1886-1967), 7th Nizam of Hyderabad Maulvi Ahmed Hussain was a subject of Mir Osman Ali Khan (1886-1967), the Seventh Nizam of Hyderabad and was presented with the watch we have here for his loyalty. The Ali Khan family had been ruling in Hyderabad since 1719 and had become extremely prosperous over the years. The Seventh Nizam came to power in 1911 and reigned until 1948, when Hyderabad merged with the Union of India. The Nizam, whose fortune was estimated at US$ 2 billion in the early 1940’s, was at the time thought to be the richest man in the world. A loyal ally of Britain, the Nizam supported the British financially all through the First and the Second World War. He was an avid collector who accumulated vast collections; among them were a fleet of 200 Rolls Royce cars and a long list of outstanding diamonds that includes the 184.5 carats Jacob Diamond.

“Grand Complication” No.11 966

Aubert Frères, Derrière-la-Côte (Vallée de Joux)

This Swiss-made watch, bearing the number “11 966”, is undoubtedly executed in the Vallée de Joux at the beginning of the 20th century. At this time a few workshops are specialised in the production of pocket watches with many horological complications, a type of manufacture initiated in the mid-19th century by the children of Louis-Benjamin Audemars (1782-1833), whose house founded in 1811 at the Brassus is unfortunately dissolved in 1885.

The three brothers Aubert – David-Louis (1806-1890), Henri-Daniel (1809-1884) and Georges-Constant (1815-1876) – founded the firm of the same name, at the locality of Derrière-la-Côte in the Vallée de Joux (between Le Brassus and Le Sentier), in the first third of the 19th century.

Research carried out in recent years by several historians of watchmaking has put forward the names of several watchmakers and today allow us to begin to understand the way of working their workshops or intertwine many family alliances and various associations. It should be remembered that the Vallée de Joux has been populated in previous centuries by some families who have made it and that, despite the work of local genealogists, it is sometimes difficult to understand who is who. We find the surnames of some twenty families, many of whom have marked the history of watchmaking: Aubert, Audemars, Berney, Capt, Cart, Dépraz, Golay, Goy, Guignard, Humberset, Lecoultre (or LeCoultre), Longchamp, Lugrin, Maréchaux, Meylan, Mignot, Nicole, Piguet, Reymond, Rochat and Simond. In terms of watchmaking, resulting from this “heroic” period of the 19th century, only two manufacturers have survived: - Jaeger-LeCoultre, LeCoultre, founded at Le Sentier in 1833 by Antoine LeCoultre (1803-1881); - Audemars Piguet, founded at Le Brassus in 1875 by Jules-Louis Audemars (18511918) and Edward-Auguste Piguet (1853-1919).

From 1839, they used a worker, David-Henry Piguet. They then make simple watches as well as complicated pieces (with calendars and / or quarter- or minute-repeaters, then chronographs with or without slip-seconds device). If they produce bridges calibres, they also produce three-quarter plate movements, with fusee and chain, in the English-style. They provide their customers with all calibres, ranging from 4’’’ to 24’’’. We owe them the first miniature calibre of 4’’’, with lever escapement; a real tour de force of watchmaking Art. One of their workers, Jules-Louis Piguet, makes the first piece with a double chapter and a simplified setting mechanism. Paul-Henri-Constant Aubert (born in 1841), son of Georges-Constant, excels in the design of new calibres, and those, from an early age. Over the years, the firm creates a great reputation with its complicated watches. It won a First Class medal for it products at the National Exhibition of Horology in La Chaux-deFonds in 1881. Georges Aubert of Le Sentier granted the US invention patent (No. 368 904, dated August 28, 1887), for an improved repeating mechanism (this invention is used in mass production on the American Watch Co., Waltham, MA.

Like their competitors at the time, these manufacturers are often the subcontractors of older watchmaking factories or major trading houses, from Geneva, Paris or London, but also from Germany and America.

The Aubert Frères have produced watches with complications for Cartier, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, they excel in the production of watches called “Grande Complication”.

These customers then put forward their own names and require that the manufacturer’s name be hidden or simply non-existent. It is therefore difficult for us today to formally assign to a particular workshop the creation of a watch.

The company is still active in the Vallée de Joux in 1989 in the hands of Aubert. Today it is part of Vacheron Constantin.

In addition, very few Archives of these manufacturers have survived: part of the Louis Audemars Archives are in England; the Audemars Piguet Archives are in the manufactory (but are incomplete partly because of the cyclone of 1890); the bulk of the Archives of the workshop of Louis-Elisée Piguet (1836-1924) is kept in the Cantonal Archives of the State of Vaud in Lausanne; where we also find some of those of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the rest being within this company. Another collection of Archives exists, that of the Aubert family, now in the hands of Daniel Aubert, master watchmaker and historian of watchmaking and of the Vallée de Joux. In the current state of our knowledge and research done at the Archives Louis Audemars and Audemars Piguet, then those of Aubert (we thank them all), we can attribute this “Grand complication, No. 11 966” (made for the house P. Orr & Sons, Madras, India) to the workshop of Aubert Frères at Le Brassus.

DENT CHRONOMETER WITH HEIGHT HOROLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS AND ONE-MINUTE TOURBILLON

274

Dent,18K黃金懷錶,備有一分鐘陀飛輪,三問,萬年曆, 日期顯示,月相,閏年顯示,30小時動力儲存 Nicole, Nielsen & Co. signed relatively few watches, however, they were well known in England as important suppliers of movements to such prominent firms as Charles Frodsham, M. F. Dent, and E. J. Dent & Co. Vaudrey Mercer – biographer of Edward John Dent and others famous English watchmakers – states that the Nicole Nielsen company fitted the majority of their tourbillon watches with English lever escapements and that therefore the watches that had a spring detent escapement were regarded as of superior standard. Reinhard Meis – the pocket chronometer tourbillon specialist – emphasises how rare these tourbillons were, even claiming that only approximately 650 top quality vintage tourbillons were ever produced worldwide. Around 100 of those were created in England. Meis also mentions that, bar one exception, none but the English makers fitted their tourbillon watches with powerful complications. New discoveries record a slightly higher overall number, but nevertheless tourbillon watches are rare and highly coveted. At the time when this watch was created, the Dents were working in two different family businesses that had been established after the death of Edward John Dent. The watch was produced by the company of M. F. Dent (Marianna Frederica), which was the name of Richard Edward Dent’s widow. The second business traded as E. Dent (Elizabeth) & Co. In 1920 both businesses came together again as one company that took the name Dent.

Dent, John Edward (London, August 19, 1790 – London, March 8, 1853) Englishman noted for his design and construction of fine and historically important precision clocks and chronometers. Dent was apprenticed to Edward Gaudin in 1807 and may also have learned something of the clockmaker’s trade from his cousin Richard Rippon. During the period 1815-29 Dent established a reputation as a builder of accurate chronometers. His fine work eventually brought business from the Admiralty and the Royal Greenwich Observatory. Beginning in 1826, Dent submitted chronometers to the observatory’s annual timekeeping contests, finally winning the 1829 First Premium Award of £ 300. From 1830 until 1840 he was the partner of John Roger Arnold in the manufacture of chronometers, clocks, and watches, and by 1847 he was the proprietor of three shops in London. Dent won the esteem of Sir George Airy (1801-1892), the astronomer royal, who supported him as the maker of a large clock for the tower of the new Royal Exchange. Dent established a workshop in the Strand to produce this excellent timepiece, which was installed in 1844. In 1852 Dent won the commission to make the great clock – now called Big Ben – for the Houses of Parliament at Westminster, but he died before completing the project. Upon the death of Rippon, Dent had married his widow, whose sons Frederick and Richard took Dent’s name and succeeded to his business. Frederick Rippon Dent’s company finally installed Big Ben in 1859. 從細節圖可見,本拍品的發條盒機芯突起的發條盒上刻有徽章 認證,刻著「先女皇陛下」(指維多利亞女皇,1819-1901) 及「俄羅斯先皇陛下」(指亞歷山大三世,1845-1894)。 而琺瑯錶盤背面則有Willis署名,他是當時英國 Counter-enamel dial signed “Willis” (the most famous English manufacturer of enamel dials of the time). What is a tourbillon? The tourbillon mechanism cancels out the variations in rate due to gravity; it’s one of the most remarkable creations in watchmaking history. It consists of a circular mobile carriage holding all the escapement components, with, in its centre, the regulating organ. The carriage generally completes one revolution per minute; this rotation compensates the negative effects of gravity on the escapement and in particular on the balance-wheel.

The couple to at least one other son: Jules-Albert Piguet (1854-1934). David-Constant Piguet founds a watchmaking workshop in the Vallée de Joux which will be taken over by his two sons. The company is particularly renowned for its repeating watches. Circa 1880, Jules-Albert Piguet moved the workshops to Le Locle, in the Neuchâtel mountains. In 1881, the company receives for its products a Second Prize at the National Horological Exhibition of La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Only two other watchmakers – Edouard Jean-Richard (1867-1944) from Le Locle, and Victorin Piguet (1850-1937) from the Vallée de Joux – have specialised in the production of this type of watch. Westminster Chimes The Westminster chimes are more correctly called the Cambridge Chimes. They first appeared in 1793 at St. Mary’s Church, Cambridge. They were written by Rev Dr. Joseph Jowett and Dr. John Randall, working with undergraduate William Crotch (later first Principal of the Royal Academy of Music) and were adopted by Lord Grimthorpe, designer of the great “Big Ben” clock for the Palace of Westminster. The chimes are based on four notes from Handel’s Messiah and are known locally in Cambridge as “Jowett’s Jig”. Barbezat-Bôle, Henri (1851-1921)

On March 20, 1896, Constant Piguet, a resident of Le Sentier, obtained a patent, No. 11 948, for his mechanism of “ Montre à répétition-carillon à quatre marteaux (Repeaterwatch with four-hammer chime).

The company “H. Barbezat-Bôle S.A., Le Locle”, was founded by Henri Barbezat-Bôle (1851-1921). He was the younger brother of Charles Barbezat-Baillot (1847-1938), the founder of Le Phare, Dixi, etc.

To produce his watches, he uses minute repeater blanks from LeCoultre & Cie (today Jaeger-LeCoultre) of Le Sentier. Inside the factory, these drafts are referenced under the name “19-CMS No 42”. According to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Heritage Archives, only a small amount of these drafts are delivered to Constant Piguet.

In 1897, the company registered the “hammer” trade mark (three hammers crossed) for watches and watch parts. The company made complicated pieces.

The latter to get his carillon watches on four gongs (classical or Westminster) is brought to modify the timing as shown by his patent.

It took over Paul Buhré, Le Locle; the corporate name became “Paul Buhré & H. BarbezatBôle”.

Since 1888, Constant Piguet and Paul-David Nardin, from Ulysse Nardin du Locle, have collaborated on experimental studies on the use of clocks in a platinum-iridium alloy.

Both companies were listed circa 1920-1925. H. Barbazat-Bôle was listed in 1924 for marine chronometers, pocket chronometers, 8-day watches, plus a large ad for pocket watches and navigational chronometers, 8-day quality watches, Westminster chime repeaters, other repeaters and form watches.

Circa 1907, Jules-Albert Piguet sold the company to head of workshop Charles-Emile Jeanneret-dit-Grosjean (1861-1953).

In 1923, H. Barbezat-Bôle won the International Chronometer Competition Group Prize, five individual prizes, a Series Prize and First Prize.

In 1922, the company was renamed Jeanneret-Grosjean Charles-Emile & Fils, “Fabricants de ressorts de répétition” (Manufacturers of gongs-springs).

He made watches for the Indian market with portraits of dignitaries painted by John Graff (1836-1902) of Geneva.

Watches with carillon-chime by four hammers on four gongs are extremely rare, especially if they are of the Westminster-type. It also exists with the air of God Save the King, which was also at that time that of the Swiss national anthem.

The house César Racine at Le Locle (Neuchâtel Mountains) is created in the 1880’s by César Racine (1851-1931); it is located at 2, avenue du Nouveau Collège.

The watches are made according to the Swiss invention patent No. 6 835, for a “Système de répétition à minutes et à quarts grande sonnerie” (minute-repeater and quarter-repeater with Grande Sonnerie system), dated June 29, 1893.

14K pink gold, hunting-case, keyless-winding, round-shaped, pocket watch, hinged case-back, subsidiary seconds at 6 and three horological complications: - Quarter-repeater with carillon on three steel gongs (activated by the rectangular push-piece at 12 o’clock) - Grande Sonnerie (position lever of “Silence” and “Sonnerie” at 1:30) - Twin-barrel differential-winding Movement based on the Swiss invention patents: - No. 6 835, delivered on June 29, 1893, to César Racine, Le Locle, for a “Système de répétition à minutes et à quarts grande sonnerie”. - No. 16 112, delivered on February 8, 1898, to César Racine, Le Locle, for a “Mécanisme de déclenchement automatique de la fusée dans les montres à grande sonnerie”. - No. 18 543, delivered on February, 1899, to César Racine, Le Locle, for a “Perfectionnement au mécanisme des pièces d’horlogerie à grande sonnerie”. Movement also based on the Swiss invention patent: - No 15 833, delivered on January 7, 1898, to Ditisheim & Cie de La Chauxde-Fonds, for a “Frein-régulateur pour mécanismes d’horlogerie”.

This house is famous for its simplified Grande Sonnerie watches that it produces with minute-repeater on two or three gongs, then called Carillon or chimes. These watches can automatically strike every fifteen minutes, the hours and quarters elapsed (position “Sonnerie” or “Chime” / “Silence”), and strikes on request, hours, quarters and minutes elapsed.

HKD 120,000 – 180,000 | CHF 15,000 – 22,500 | USD 15,400 – 23,100

In addition to its simplified Grande Sonnerie – built between 16’’’ and 20’’’ –, the company also produces watches with horological complications, ranging from 12’’’ to 20’’’, which can be fitted with various mechanisms: chronograph, minute recorder, split-seconds, simple or perpetual calendar and automata. Since 1898, the house built its repeater-watches with the “Freinrégulateur pour mécanismes d’horlogerie” (drag-regulator for horological mechanisms) of Ditisheim & Cie of La Chaux-de-Fonds (Swiss invention patent No. 15 833, dated January 7, 1898) César Racine is rewarded for his inventions and know-how with a Gold medal at the Swiss National Exhibition of Geneva in 1896 and a Grand Prix (Gold medal) at the World Exhibition of Paris in 1900. From a commercial point of view, it seems that the house César Racine has produced a lot of simplified Grande Sonnerie watches for the Fabrique Zénith of the Billodes in Le Locle, founded by Georges Favre-Jacot (18431917), which only marketed them on various markets, but also sells its watches to other retailers as evidenced by an anecdote reported by Alfred Chapuis (1880-1958), historian of the Neuchâtel horology: In 1902, the Vrard house in Tientsin, wishing to give a present to one of its best Chinese clients in this city, had especially ordered a gold huntingcase clock-watch to Mr. César Racine, Le Locle, with the portrait of the Chinese painted on enamel, on one side, and, on the other, his enamelled monogram; this work was executed by John Graff, through M. Tardy & Fils, from Geneva. (Chapuis, 1919, p. 187, note 1). We know this kind of piece also sold in China by Hope Brothers & Co. of Shanghai; but also, in Switzerland, by Henri Blanc in Geneva, and in Italy, by Haussmann & Co. in Rome. H. W. Bernstein & Co. of Bombay, India, sells several simplified Grande Sonnerie, in sumptuous enamel and gemstone cases, probably the work of J. Ferrero, from Le Locle, or Tardy & Fils, from Geneva. For this same Indian market, the César Racine house also created around 1900-1920, watches in which are accumulated numerous horological complications in addition to the simplified Grande Sonnerie, in more or less richly decorated cases. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, various Le Locle watchmakers specialised in the production of Grande Complication for this market (Henri Grandjean & Cie, Edouard JeanRichard, Gideon & Cie, etc.), for retailers like P Orr & Sons in Madras, C. Marcks & Co. Ltd. in Bombay and Poona, etc. In 1895, Albert Theile (1855-1925), architect of La Chaux-de-Fonds, built for César Racine a superb villa in Le Locle with watchmaking workshops, at 8, rue du Collège. In 1908, César Racine is a member of the Committee, which pays homage to Jules Grossmann (1829-1907), the late Director of the School of Horology of Le Locle. His son, César (II) Racine (born in 1889) registered the mark “César Racine” in the Neuchâtel Register of Commerce, on February 4, 1913. The house also owns the brand “Radixa”, under which it sells simple watches, much cheaper. In the 1920’s, César Racine began producing movements for wristwatches. The house is still mentioned in 1929 but does not seem to recover from the Great Depression (1929) and goes bankrupt on January 24, 1931.

El Trust, Joyero y Relojero Internacional, Madrid This Madrilenian watchmaking and jewellery (Puerta del Sol, No. 12) is managed in the early 20th century by D. Modesto Largo Alvarez. It then markets exclusively for Spain the watches “Fix Watch Co.”, a registered trademark of the Charles Barbezat-Baillot (1847-1938) company of Le Locle (co-founded in the 1870’s, with Henry Guye (1838 -1877), under the name “Guye & Barbezat”). This house is then known worldwide for its pieces “Le Phare” (The Lighthouse), fitted with its centrifugal force regulator for repeater (Swiss invention patent No. 334, dated January 8, 1889, for “Perfectionnements apportés à la construction des mécanismes de répétition pour montres de poche de toutes dimensions” (Improvements to the construction of the mechanisms of repetition for pocket watches of all sizes), several times award-winning invention, at the Swiss National Exhibition in Geneva in 1896, the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900, etc.). It’s probably following a commercial contract that the Le Locle company then provides this retailer with the best of its production, including models with minute-repeater, chronograph with recorder and perpetual calendar or triple date. In the 1920’s, this Spanish retailer (who also opened a store in San Sebastian in the Basque-Country) offers his customers watches by Longines (including pocket watches with minuterepeater on three gongs, known as Carillon or Chime) and by Patek Philippe, manufacture of which it is still depositary in the 1950’s. Meanwhile, with the War of Spain, this retailer emigrated in 1936, in Argentina, in Buenos Aires. The house is then in the hands of C. Pellegrini, Esq. Corrientes.

The dial of this watch is inscribed with the name “Ferrocarril de Antioquia”, who was a Colombian freight and passenger railway company, that joined much of the central regions of the Antioquia department along the Magdalena river, and ultimately extended to provinces located south of the department, including Caldas and the Valle del Cauca. It took 55 years to build. Its construction began in 1874 and officially ended with its inauguration in 1929 (7 August). The Antioquia Railway was for decades an important link among regions that had previously been isolated and was a large contributor to economic development in the region. With the construction of alternative forms of transportation, especially roads, the use of the train declined in the 20th century. The railway was officially sold in 1961.

Long ago in the mountains, there lived a horrible demon creature named Nian. Every year, on the first day of the year, the creature would awaken and descend upon the village. He would eat all the grain and livestock. And if there were any unfortunately children stuck outside, they would disappear. The villagers lived in fear of this beast and boarded up their houses on this night to protect their families. One year, right before this event was to occur, an old man visited the village. He turned to the villagers and asked, “Why do you fear this creature such? You are many and he is but one. Surely he could not swallow all of you.” But the villagers remained skeptical and locked themselves up anyway. That night, Nian did not come. The old man had ridden him until dawn and the creature went back to its cave hungry. This went on for several nights until the old man revealed, “I cannot protect you forever.” He turned out to be a god and had to return to his duties elsewhere. The villagers were terrified that once the old man left, they would once again see Nian return. So, the old man informed them, “The beast is easily scared. He does not like the colour red. He fears loud noises and strange creatures. So tonight, spread red across the village. Hang red signs on every door. Make loud noises with drums, music, and fireworks. And to protect your children, give them face masks and lanterns to protect them.” The villagers did as the old man instructed and Nian never returned again. In Chinese, the word for New Years is Guo Nian. Literally translated it means to “pass over Nian” or “overcome Nian”. That is exactly what the villagers did. It has become a tradition that part of New Years celebration is to hang lots of red decoration in your house. Streets are filled with music, loud drums, and fireworks all day long. And special paper lanterns are made in a variety of shapes and sizes, paraded through the streets to scare off any demons that might come. Thus, ends the story of Chinese New Years or Guo Nian. Gübelin 8-day going Art Deco desk clock; Chinese-style decoration Gübelin, one of the most luxurious shops in Switzerland, sold many Art Deco clocks in the 1920’s and 1930’s. At this time, this house offers its customers some exceptional creations in the Chinese-style made by Vacheron Constantin, Geneva, and Verger Frères, Paris (clocks in precious metals). 據推測,本拍品頂部的玉雕與中國傳統故事「年獸」有關。Gübelin是瑞士其中一間 奢侈品店,店內售賣1920年及1930年代的Art Deco 風格時鐘,並且有些中國風格鐘 更是由江詩丹頓、Verger Frères等名廠製作,另外也有些如本次拍品一樣價格並不 昂貴的選擇。

The “Royal Chronometer” name, for the English-speaking market, was registered in Switzerland on May 8 1908, under the number 23 872. The first of these were a series of pocket watches delivered to Brazil. A certain A. Campos, one of Vacheron & Constantin’s agents, had organized a lottery system in which subscribers would pay a monthly fee to take part in a series of draws. The holders of the winning tickets would be given a watch and the other subscribers would be entered into the next draw. This system proved to be so successful that A. Campos delivered a total of 3 022 watches between October 22, 1907 and December 31, 1911 – an amazing 80% of the production of the Chronomètre Royal, utilising the Cal. RA 22’73 made during this period. As we can read, this series of watches was especially made for the South American Market, especially to Argentina. The Chronomètre Royal was made in several sizes, from 12 to 22 lines, and was housed mostly in gold cases, and rarely in silver ones.

By the end of the 19th century, the Swiss watch industry produced millions of watches. Each year, an infinitesimal part of them are especially manufactured and adjusted to be presented to the annual chronometrical contests of the observatories of Geneva or Neuchâtel. With the improvement of production techniques, the observatory regularly reinforces the rules of the contest; this competition becomes, every year, always more difficult. On the very small quantity of watches subjected to the rigorous and impartial control of the observatories, a good part is rejected; only the best pieces remain in the running. Winning a Bulletin de marche – especially one of “First Class” – allows watch manufacturers to prove their chronometry skills. The same applies to the distinctions obtained at industrial or artistic exhibitions, whether at regional, national or universal level. At a time when marketing and advertising do not exist, this is the only real way to promote a company to the public and potential customers. In 1898, in Geneva, only 26 pieces received a 1st Class Bulletin de marche (... on the millions of pieces produced by the entire Swiss watch industry; a large part of which is manufactured in the city at the end of the lake); this shows how a real “chronometer” with a Bulletin de marche is extremely rare! For example, in the Antiquorum’s auction devoted to the world’s oldest watch manufacturer – The Quarter Millennium of Vacheron Constantin, 1755-2005 (Geneva, April 3, 2005; 250 lots) – our auction house was able to present few chronometers with Bulletin de marche (chapter X): - - - - - -

江詩丹頓,222,18K黃金自動上鍊腕錶,日期顯示

Vacheron Constantin “222” In the mid-1970’s, as the arrival of quartz watches harmed the Swiss watch industry, the great manufacturers reacted late by launching new models of watches made by young designers. These watches are disruptive, informal and casual! Their stylistic codes go against everything we’ve seen before. These are high-class sports watches with integrated bracelets, which are a radical break from the traditional wristwatches of these important houses.

Audemars Piguet launches its “Royal Oak”, Patek Philippe its “Nautilus”, IWC its “Ingenieur Jumbo SL”; all three designed by Gérald Genta (1931-2011), a Genevan designer jeweller. In 1977, to celebrate its 222nd anniversary, Vacheron Constantin launched its “222”, designed by Jorg Hysek, a young German designer (born in 1953): a thin tonneau-shaped case, with a rounded bezel and a tiny cross of Malta encrusted at 5 o’clock.

The “222” is produced in different versions: - 37 mm., with a self-winding movement with date at 3 o’clock, made on the basis of Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 920 (also used for Nautilus and Royal Oak!); - 34 mm, with a self-winding movement with date at 3 o’clock (a derivative of the previous movement of the Manufacture of Le Sentier); - 25 mm, with quartz movement. The “222” is available in different materials and is, in fact, produced in very small quantities: - steel (less than 520 examples); - gold and steel (less than 150 examples); - all gold (less than 150 examples). Manufactured for only 7 years, it will be replaced in 1984 by the “333”, a rectangular evolution that will last only 2 years. Like the Royal Oak and the Nautilus, The “222” is now an icon of watchmaking from the 1970’s.

Few pendant watches were especially made with on the case-back an enamel painting on gold scene showing a view of the Geneva Lake with one of its famous boat (“barque du Léman”) and on the corner the coat-of-arms of the City of Geneva (enamels by Lacreuze or by Ronet). 1896年日內瓦舉行的瑞士國家展覽中舉行過一場名為Grand Tir的射擊比賽,而江詩丹頓接受主辦委託,製作了數款時計作為勝出獎品。當中有少部分經特別工序,黃金底蓋上有Lacreuze or by Ronet操刀的琺瑯,展示日內瓦湖及一艘名船barque du Léman,角落則有日內瓦市的紋章。 Bibliography 參考資料 Lambelet, Carole & Cohen, Lorette, L’Univers de Vacheron Constantin, Genève, Editions Scriptar SA, 1992.

From circa 1920 until his death in 1931, he moved in another part of Geneva, to 18, Avenue de la Gare des Eaux-Vives, where he advertised the “Manufacture d’oiseaux chantants”. He is noted for rectangular boxes with a small round timepiece mounted on two pillars above the box. The clock mechanism can be set to trigger the bird box in the same way as an alarm, or the box may be played independently.He is then in Geneva, one of the last active singing-bird makers.

He is the son of Mathias Griesbaum, a clockmaker. Mathias studied clockmaking in Furtwangen, pursued commercial studies in Karlsruhe, as well as in Switzerland. The most typical items of the Griesbaum House are probably their snuff-boxes with a singing bird, particularly those made in a style reminiscent of the traditional German silversmiths of earlier centuries, but also their boxes with two singing birds and those serving as boxes for cigarettes. Karl Griesbaum 是製錶師Mathias Griesbaum之子。他在富特旺根市學習鐘錶製作,及後到卡爾斯魯爾市 及瑞士攻讀商業。1905年他在黑森林區特里堡建立Griesbaum工坊。Griesbaum工坊的作品中最典型的便 是帶有活動音樂鳥的鼻煙盒或香煙盒,其外觀多仿照傳統德國舊時代的銀器裝飾風格,一盒內有兩隻鳥兒 更是他們的招牌。

This watch is an excellent example illustrating the popularity of Indian scenes in China, where the elephant is a symbol of wisdom and of moral and spiritual strength. A similar watch decorated with a tiger fighting an elephant is illustrated by Alfred Chapuis in his book “La Montre Chinoise” (Neuchâtel, 1919, colour pl. following p. 192), strongly suggesting that the enamel of this watch was painted by Pierre-Amédée Champod (1834-1913), swiss painter on enamel.

Champod, Pierre-Amédée (1834-1913) Along with John Graff, Amédée Champod was one of the most celebrated enamel painters of the second part of the 19th century and early 20th century, specialising in hunting scenes. In his autobiography (which has been preserved by his descendants), he writes that he wanted to be a painter of large format scenes, but that economic realities led him to painting on enamel. He studied with Huguenin, Sauerländer and Charles Glardon, who had the strongest impact on his future style. Champod dropped out of school at eleven and at sixteen began working. At the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900, Champod received a silver medal. His technique was outstanding, the sense of dynamics in his compositions was unrivalled. 此枚拍品上的琺瑯出自Pierre-Amédée Champod (1834-1913) 之手,他 與John Graff併列19世紀至20世紀初最為專祟的琺瑯工匠,他尤其精於 描繪打獵圖。他11歲輟學,16歲工作,師從Huguenin、Sauerländer 及 Charles Glardon等琺瑯大師。其琺瑯之技藝精湛,特別是構圖立體感, 為他在1900年的巴黎世界博覽會中贏得銀獎。 這幅琺瑯描繪的印度象圖,而大象在中國則有智慧、精神力量的象徵。

This watch is fitted with the new system with two mounting barrels in series with unidirectional-winding and “free” mainspring, which give will the Swiss invention patent No. 1 017, delivered to Patek Philippe, Geneva, on May 23, 1889, for a “Montre à secondes indépendantes à deux barillets se remontant ensemble par le même mécanisme de remontoir au pendant, et à deux corps de rouage dont le rouage des secondes est planté dans le même pont et au-dessus de celui de la montre.”. In fact, this invention was already presented by Jean-Adrien Philippe (1815-1894), during the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1867. This invention dates back to 1866. The Genevan manufacture will market watches of this type until 1913. As with its mechanism of winding and time-setting at the pendant, nearly a quarter of a century of reflections and improvements lead to the final version; that finally patented in 1889. Very few of them were made; this watch is one of the first 10 or 15 produced according to this design. The watch No. 27 115, who seems to be the oldest made fitted with this new system (hunting case and a diablotine) – formerly belonged to the collection of Noël Blanc (born in 1938), American actor and voice actor, son of Melvin Jerome “Mel’’ Blanc (1908-1989), American actor and voice actor (1927-1989) – now kept in the Patek Philippe Museum, Geneva (Inv.

Boule de Genève The “Boule de Genève” watches incorporate a double-plan movement and the revolving bezel winding system patented by Marius Lecoultre (1847-1915) of Geneva (Swiss invention patent No. 114, dated January, 12, 1889). He was the son of Eugène Lecoultre (1819-1882), Genevan watchmaker who invented the perpetual calendar with rétrograde (fly-back) date (circa 1850). The majority of the “Boule de Genève” is manufactured with an 8’’’ movement (with cylinder or lateral lever escapement). It can sometimes be found with smaller movements, 7’’’ or 6’’’ and very occasionally with a movement of 5’’’. The realisation of this movement is already in itself a technical feat but to execute it in such a small dimension is a real “tour de force”. Some of these movements were inserted into brooches or bracelets by the best jewellers of Geneva; they also often subcontractors of the great manufactures. If the majority of them are unsigned, some have been bought or possibly produced by major Genevan manufactures such as Patek Philippe, who presents one during the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Later Cartier, Paris, also produces “Boule de Genève”-type watches.

The Ref. 2582 is one of the rarest and largest vintage “time-only” watches ever made by the Patek Philippe. Most of them seems to be built with a two-piece case with snap-on caseback (by Markowsky, Geneva), in yellow or pink gold (from which only six are known to-date, including one in pink gold: Christie’s, New York, December 6, 2016, lot 183, sold for the amount of US$ 16 250.-) The present one is the only know example with a two-piece screwed case-back.

Felice Pasquale (Félix) Baciocchi (who later adopted the surname Levoy) Ajaccio, Corsica, May 18, 1762 – Bologna, Italy, April 28, 1841 He was born into a noble, but poor, Corsican family. He was second lieutenant in the French army in 1778, lieutenant in 1788, then Captain in 1794. On May 1st, 1797, he married Elisa Bonaparte (1777-1820), Napoléon’s younger sister, in Marseille (France). Baciocchi was then promoted from colonel, to Brigadier General, then to Major General in 1809. He was also made a Senator in 1804 and Imperial Prince in 1805. Thanks to Napoléon’s conquests, Baciocchi became Prince of Lucca and Piombino, then Grand Duke of Tuscany, but without the associated power, which really was exercised by his wife. He also serenely endured her infidelities. When Napoléon’s empire collapsed, he retired with Elisa to Trieste, then to Bologna after her death in 1820. 費利切•帕斯夸萊•巴希奧奇(後改姓勒沃伊Levoy),1762-1841:他出生於一個並不 富裕的科西嘉貴族家庭,1778年服役於法國陸軍,位階少尉;1788年晉升中尉,1794 年再度晉升上尉。1797年他在法國馬賽迎娶了拿破崙的妹妹埃莉薩•波拿巴,在裙帶關 係幫助下,他自1802年起步步高升,直至官拜少將;1804年及05年更分別被任命為參議 員及親王。拜拿破崙霸業拓展,巴希奧奇先後成為盧卡和皮翁比諾親王,以及托斯卡尼 大公 。雖位居高位,但實質權力全由其妻掌握,因此他也只能啞忍妻子紅杏出牆。拿破 崙帝國崩解後,他和妻子一起隱退於里雅斯特,1820年妻子過世後遷居波隆那。

Maria Anna (Marie-Anne) Elisa Bonaparte Ajaccio, Corsica, January 3, 1777 – Trieste, Austrian Empire, August 7, 1820 She was an Italian ruler, Princessefrançaise, Princess of Lucca and Piombino (18051814), Grand Duchess of Tuscany (1809-1814) and Countess of Compignano by appointment of her brother Napoléon. As Princess of Lucca and Piombino, then Grand Duchess of Tuscany, she became Napoléon’s only sister to possess political power. Their relations were sometimes strained due to her sharp tongue. Highly interested in the arts, particularly the theatre, she encouraged them in the territories over which she ruled. 瑪麗亞•安娜•埃莉薩•波拿巴,1777-1820:她身兼意大利統治者、法蘭西公主、盧 卡和皮翁比諾公主、托斯卡尼大公夫人等身分,並受其兄拿破崙封賜為康皮納諾女伯 爵。身為盧卡和皮翁比諾公主以及托斯卡尼大公夫人的她,是拿破崙唯一擁有政治權力 的妹妹。由於她說話尖刻,他們倆的關係有時很緊張。她對藝術,尤其是戲劇興趣非常 濃厚,並在她所統治的領地上大為推廣。

This is a watch movement similar to that of our piece. For the time, as evidenced by the quote mentioned above, it is the pinnacle of watchmaking art. A few Genevan watchmakers were at that period specialized in this type of production, as Decombaz (?-?) who manufacture for Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823) of Paris. Himself targeting them to his best clientele, often for the Russian market or the Ottoman market. What are Grande Sonnerie and Petite Sonnerie? The Grande Sonnerie or “Grand Strike” strikes the hours and quarters “en passant” (in passing), that is to say automatically, and repeat the hours to the quarters. It can also repeat, at will, by the action of a pusher, hours and quarters past, indeed minutes. The Petite Sonnerie or “Petit Strike” strikes the hours and quarters “en passant” (in passing), that is to say automatically, without repeating the hours to the quarters.


Gounouilhou, Pierre-Simon Bergerac, Dordogne, October 15, 1779 – Peissy, Satigny, near Geneva, 1847 Comes from a French Protestant family from Bergerac in Dordogne, Pierre-Simon Gounouilhou is the son of Dominique Gounouilhou (17411820), master cobbler, and Elisabeth Andrau (1753-1813); both married in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande in Gironde in 1774 (December 26). His older brother, Pierre Gounouilhou (1777-1859), is a well-known gunsmith and merchant in Bergerac, who made his apprenticeship in the “Manufacture nationale d’armes” (National Manufacture of Weapons) in Versailles (1793-1818), under the direction of Nicolas-Noël Boutet (1761-1833), famous French gunsmith. His younger brother, Pierre-Jean Gounouilhou (1788-ap.1835) is a watchmaker; after the death of his wife, who died childless, he went to Montevideo in Uruguay to join his nephew Dominique (Désiré) Gounouilhou, who has been there for quite long time. Part of the Gounouilhou family is active in the field of printing in Bordeaux, in Gironde, since the early 17th century, and will be still in the 19th century. Pierre-Simon Gounouilhou comes to Geneva in 1799, at the age of 20, to complete his watchmaking training. Little by little, thanks to his intelligence, his technical abilities, his scientific knowledge and his sense of the trade, he imposes himself near his competitors and fellow citizens. It is established on the Quai Neuf en l’Isle, at No. 241. If his production is influenced at the beginning by his contemporaries, Jacob Frisard (17531810), Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841), etc., – creators of automaton and musical watches – he quickly develops unique and sometimes more ambitious than those of his counterparts (see: Antiquorum, Geneva, October 21, 1995, lot 910). He is credited with a number of ring-watches with visible balance, with virgule or cylinder escapements, with or without quarter-repeater, produced in the first quarter of the 19th century. He is given the model of automaton watch called “La Cuisine” (The Kitchen), whose an example is signed by him (see: Jaquet & Chapuis, 1945, pl. 102). On February 28, 1822, he is the author of a text in which he protests to Antoine Tavan (1749-1836) against a prospectus that would have described Genevan watchmaking in a negative way and undertakes to defend the Fabrique (“Lettre adressée par un fabricant d’horlogerie à M. Tavan père, en réfutation des faits contenus dans un prospectus signé M. A. Demole”, Geneva, from the Imprimerie No. 142 au haut des Barrières, 1822, 8 pp.). On February 3, 1823, he received Citoyen (Citizen) of Geneva, listed as “Marchand horloger” (Merchant Watchmaker). In 1826, he also took an interest in the education of young people in Geneva, especially that of the very young (3-6 years old); he has written several texts for the creation of the “Ecole des petits enfants de Saint-Gervais, rue Rousseau” (Saint-Gervais School of Little Children, Rousseau street), in the watchmaking district. On February 2, 1829, he signs, with many watchmakers, the petition for the establishment of a new astronomical observatory in Geneva. In a text dated February 12, 1839, he proposed a subscription for the construction of a bridge in a remote corner of the canton of Geneva that would allow the inhabitants of some neighbouring hamlets to come to town without passing through France; in the far west of Geneva territory, the « pont des Granges » (Granges bridge) will be built on the Allondon river in 1842. On June 5, 1843, he was named Mayor of the commune of Satigny (north-west of Geneva). In the years 1820-1840, he associated himself with a man named François, probably Charles-Henri-Louis (?-?), under the name “Gounouilhou and François”. The activity is still at 241, Quai Neuf in Geneva, en l’Ilse. In 1828, they were present at the first Geneva Industrial Exhibition, organized by the Société des arts (Arts Society’s) Class of Industry and Commerce (exhibits under Nos. 98, 248 and 251), and showed a clock-watch movement with Grande and Petite Sonnerie with independent repeater, built with 210 components, which to be completed in pocket watch still requires 65 pieces, totalling 275; while mentioning in the catalogue that “Ce genre de pièce est un des plus compliqués qui s’exécutent en horlogerie.” (This kind of piece is one of the most complicated ones that are executed in watchmaking.) (see: cat. p. 36). They also exhibit 15 different products (screws, dials, hair-springs, escapements, gongs, chains, tools, mechanism of dead seconds) of which many are the work of their subcontractors (see: cat., pp. 37-39). They also show at this event 36 timepieces and jewellery whose manufacturing numbers are mentioned. In the field of watches, Pierre-Simon Gounouilhou has arrived at this date to more than 15 000 pieces and in jewellery more than 4 000 pieces; which shows the importance of his production since the creation of his workshop at the beginning of the century (see: cat., pp. 84-86). We know under the signature “Gounouilhou and François” various watches with horological complications (repeater, date) and / or decorative cases enriched with stones or enamels. Between 1842 and 1870, the corporate name became “Tissot & Gounouilhou”. It is Louis Gounouilhou (?-?) who directs the House. We know under this signature watches with ultraflat inverted calibre, known as Bagnolet, of high quality and different dimensions. This signature also appears on a square-shaped watch with quarter repeater, measuring 25 mm. side by 12 mm. height. Pierre-Simon Gounouilhou left “shop notes” with abundant information on the habits and customs of the Genevan watchmakers of his time. Less known than Jean-François Bautte (1772-1837), he remains an important figure in the watchmaking Geneva of the first half of the 19th century.

Zamojski (plural: Zamojscy) or Zamoyski This is the name of an important Polish noble (szlachta) family, which used the Jelita coat-of-arms. The family’s name is sometimes spelled “Zamoyski”. It is the Polish term for “de Zamość” (Polish “z Zamościa”), the name they originally held as lords of Zamość. The family was influential in Polish politics for several centuries, and its members held various official titles, including those of Count and Countess. Zamoyski, Stanisław Kostka, Count of Herb Jeltia Stanisław Kostka Zamoyski (January 13, 1775 – April 2, 1856) was a Polish nobleman (szlachcic), politician, landowner, and patron of arts. Stanisław was the 12th Ordynat of Zamość estates. In 1809 he became the chairman of the “Provisional Government” (rzad tymczasowy) of Galicia. He was Senator-Voivode of the Duchy of Warsaw and the Polish (Congress) Kingdom from 1810 until 1831. He founded the Zamoyski Ordynacja Library and was chairman of the “Agricultural Society”. He was awarded the Order of the White Eagle on June 16, 1812. In 1822 Stanisław became the chairman of the Senate in the Polish (Congress) Kingdom. He married Princess Zofia Czartoryska on May 20, 1798 in Puławy. During the November Uprising in 1831, Zamoyski was not present at the senate meeting and was subsequently removed from the senate by that year’s parliament.

GRAY JEWELLERY CASKET FITTED WITH A WATCH, MADE FOR THE CHINESE MARKET J. Gray,黃金錶盒,錶安裝在帶有紅寶石的蓋子上, 為中國市場製造

377

Very few of these caskets are known. A gilded mounted agate traveller’s nécessaire de voyage, fitted inside with a watch, a compass and a spy-glass, signed by James Cox, is kept in the Palace Museum of the Forbidden City. Galuchat (or Galluchat) Jean-Claude Galluchat (1689-1774), Parisian gainier (casket-maker) master from Lyon, and his son Denis-Claude Galluchat develop in Paris, in the 1740’s, a technique of treatment of the skins of dogfish and shark; skins which are then used in the manufacture of objects called tabletterie (caskets and boxes of all forms for many uses). One of their most famous clients is none other than the Marquise de Pompadour – Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson (1721-1764), Duchess of Menars, a lady of the French bourgeoisie who became the favourite of Louis XV (1710-1774), King of France and Navarre (1715-1774) – “qui ne passait pas une semaine sans qu’elle n’achetât un petit objet qui était souvent du galuchat” (who did not spend a week without buying a small object that was often shagreen).

This artisan made so much reference to his time by dressing this skin of fish – the shagreen – with the rarest objects that the proper name became synonymous with the material. Towards 1748, in front of the success of their works, the father and the son install their workshops rue des Morfondus, then, in 1774, Quai de l’Horloge, near the main founders and manufacturers of scientific instruments, watchmakers and jewellers. At the same time, their technique is taken up by various workshops in the major capitals of Europe, including, of course, London, where there is an intense production of objects often destined for export.

這種古董妝奩盒子在市場上數量稀少。北京故宮內便藏有一個鑲瑪瑙的 的旅行用盒子,內有時鐘、指南針及望遠鏡,並有James Cox簽名。 本拍品以黃金打造,外包鯊魚皮,頂蓋上的時鐘外圈鑲紅寶石,內襯繡 有龍紋及祥雲。 Jean-Claude Galluchat是出身里昂的珠寶盒工匠,他與兒子DenisClaude Galluchat在巴黎落地生根,並在1740年代研發出一門處理角鯊 及鯊魚皮的工藝,並將皮料用作製作盒子。隨著他們的工藝及作品都大 獲成功,歐洲不少大城市的工坊都相繼學習,當中自然也包括大量向外 國出口貨物的倫敦。

Antiquorum, Geneva, October 20, 1991, lot 305, sold for the amount of CHF 39 100.

Early self-winding watches: Since the publication of the works of Alfred Chapuis and Eugène Jaquet, this model of self-winding watch is attributed to Moÿse Gevril (Le Locle, 1749-?), watchmaker living at Crêt-Vaillant du Locle (1952, pp. 179-180; 1956, pp. 188-190). The watch mentioned in these two books bears his name engraved with an etching needle but is also fitted with a barrel spring bearing the signature and date “DL 9 c January 14, 1781”, probably for Daniel Henry Lequeureux, maker of springs barrel, living Cret du Locle, also working for Philippe DuBois (1738-1808), between 1782 and 1797. In the recent literature, Jean-Claude Sabrier illustrates three similar watches, unsigned, which he attributes to this workshop (2011, pp. 160-173), while Richard Watkins brings some additional information (2013, p. 53, pp. 144-145; 2016, pp. 55-56, pp. 164-165). Our watch is the fourth known example of this type. In the absence of further details, we also attribute this watch to this watchmaker active in Le Locle, especially as its case is stamped with Neuchâtel “chevrons” hallmark, knowing now that the ebauche is probably from the workshops of Philippe DuBois.

This type of watches seems to have inspired two manufacturers, W. Zumstein, and Ch.

FRANCOIS JOUBERT TABATIERE – SNUFF BOX

François Joubert,金及四面琺瑯盒,約1761年製。

Brand

François Joubert, Paris

Year

1761-1762 (Paris mark; charge and discharge marks of Jean-Jacques Prevost, 1762-1768)

Dimensions

38 x 91 x 68 mm

Gold and enamel, oval-shaped snuff box with hinged lid; base and band decorated en suite The lid, the sides and the base panels painted on enamel on gold showing domestic genre scenes, within enamel border of floral scrolls. The central scene of the snuff box is inspired by a composition of Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), as well as one of the lateral subjects (“The Happy Family”). The other scenes seem to be interpretations made from other compositions. This snuffbox of very beautiful dimensions is in a state of exceptional conservation. Elegance E • Rarity U

HKD 296,000 – 440,000 | CHF 37,000 – 55,000 | USD 38,000 – 56,000 This snuffbox of very beautiful dimensions is in a state of exceptional conservation. Joubert, François (received as a Master in 1749) The best-known work by François Joubert is an elaborate silver saucière (sauceboat) of 1754-1755, with the arms of Madame de Pompadour, the favorite of louis XV, King of France (Paris, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Inv. 26 908 A). Boxes by one Pierre-Aymé Joubert (received as a Master in 1735) are recorded, but Granjean notes that “On December 23, 1763, the wardens of the goldsmiths company declared him absent from Paris...” suggesting he had abandoned his business. His relation to François Joubert is not known, but the present box may be evidence that the latter was his successor; maybe his son. One Jean-Antoine Joubert is referenced, probably the son of François Joubert, who was apprenticed on February 23, 1760, to Jean-Marc Legast. He became master from rue de la Lanterne on December 20, 1777, under caution from Pierre Cerneau, known for his simple, guilloché engine-turned gold boxes. From 1781, he was recorded for ten years in the rue de la Juiverie.

Marks looking like British hallmarks were out into watchcases to lead people to think that a watch was of English make. Sometimes pseudo ‘‘hallmarks’’, marks that were meant to look somewhat like hallmarks without trying to be out-and-out fake hallmarks, were stamped in order to make a case look more impressive.

Frères Esquivillon & Dechoudens Master watchmakers actives in the last quarter of the 18th century and in the early 19th century. In 1774, Gédéon-François Esquivillon became associated with his brother, Joseph Esquivillon, and Jaques Dechoudens. They are known to have signed sometimes « Es. et Dech.”. By the fact of few of them are signed, we can attribute to their Workshop a series of watches with quarter-repeater and six functions, including two striking Jacquemarts jacks and a four automata scene; watches so-called “Le Rémouleur” or “The Knife Grinder”. Similar watches (with six functions, including two striking Jacquemarts jacks and a four automata scene) -

Wishing to gain admission to the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1783 as a history painter, Marie-Louise-Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun (1755-1842) presented this allegory as her reception piece. At the time, historical, mythological, religious, and allegorical subjects were considered superior to all others (portraiture, genre, landscape, and still life). With the American Revolution just ended, the artist’s choice was timely. The future is symbolised by Peace, on the right, who is ushering in Abundance with her cornucopia of fruit.

Soiron, Jean-François (1756-1812) A miniaturist and painter on enamel who specialised in portraits and landscapes, and who often decorated watch cases. Soiron was born in Geneva, on August 18, 1756, and was apprenticed to Jacques Teulon in Geneva from 1768 to 1773. He entered into partnership with David Frainet and Etienne Frégent and later, from 1788 to 1794, became a partner of Jean-Alexandre Grand. Soiron taught several apprentices, among them: François Gerbel, in 1775; Groud, in 1778; J.-L. Fournier, in 1779; P.-A. Marguerot and Antoine Gillet, in 1783; Jean-Louis Henry, in 1784; François Chappuis, in 1792, and finally L. A. Fabre, with whom he became associated in 1796. That association was to last only a year. In 1799, he is known to have been a member of the Genevan Société des Arts. He emigrated shortly afterward to Paris, where he established his own business in 1800. At the Paris Salon of 1800, he exhibited three portraits and a vase of flowers; he also exhibited in 1801. In 1804, several portraits by Soiron were exhibited in the same Salon, and in 1806 he presented a fine portrait of Napoleon on horseback and one of Vivant Denon. In 1808, Soiron exhibited portraits of Napoleon and Josephine as well as several enamel paintings and, for the last time in 1810, portraits and enamel scenes. In 1802, Soiron also worked for the Sèvres porcelain factory. During the last two years of his life, Soiron was short of money and in illhealth. He died in Paris in 1812. Lissignol, Jean-Abraham (1749-1819) Born in Geneva on May 1749; died in Plainpalais on June 28, 1819. He is one of the best enamel painters of the later part of the 18th century, he was the pupil of Jean-Marc Roux and later became his partner. He specialised in decorating enamelled snuffboxes and watch-cases, working for Jaquet-Droz, Leschot, the Rochat brothers, and John Rich. Séné & Détalla The partnership of the Genevan goldsmiths Philippe Séné and Détalla must have existed before 1795 and was most likely dissolved in 1805. In 1798, Séné had formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, Henry Neisser, who had moved from Hanau to Geneva in 1783 and the company was renamed to Sené & Neisser in October 1805. Philippe Sené died in November 1807 and in 1808 Neisser registered his own master’s mark. 此拍品上的正面琺瑯畫是仿照18世紀法國女畫家瑪莉.勒布倫(Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun)的名作《和平帶來豐饒》(1870),畫中以兩位女性 分別代表和平與豐饒,當中抱著羊角的是豐饒,而在旁守護的則是和平,這 幅畫為勒布倫爭取到法國皇家藝術學院的入學許可。拍品上的雕刻則是出自 Pierre Viel (1755-1810)之手。

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 Ventôse 16, An X (March 7, 1802), to 1811, Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841) formed a partnership with Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841), who was from the same village – Le Chenit – as he in the Vallée de Joux. Their signature was Piguet & Capt. In 1811, when Piguet broke off to join Philippe-Samuel Meylan (17721845) 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 trademark registered on November 1, 1880, under the No. 44. This signature was only used for watches retailed in their own store, the watches supplied to other retailers being merely signed Henry Capt. Henry-Daniel Capt, along with Isaac-Daniel Piguet and Philippe-Samuel Meylan, was the foremost maker of small musical automata in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Most of his work is not signed, although he sometimes scratched his name on his movements. Piguet & Capt 是指18世紀兩位日內瓦製錶師Henry-Daniel Capt及Isaac-Daniel Piguet,二人在1802年開 始合力製作複雜時計、具音樂功能或活動人偶的時計、煙盒或其他作品;亦是日內瓦首批在音樂裝置上使 用突針滾筒及音調梳齒的工匠。直至1811年拆夥為止,二人的作品上均是以Piguet & Capt 為署名。拆夥 後,Piguet轉而與Philippe-Samuel Meylan合作,並以Piguet & Meylan為署名;而Capt則在獨立工作一段 時間後再與Aubert and Son合作,並成為日內瓦鐘錶師中製作計時錶的先驅。

Piguet & Meylan (active between 1811 and 1828) Both originally from the village of Le Chenit in the Vallée de Joux, Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841) and Philippe-Samuel Meylan (1772-1845) came to Geneva as young men, and formed a partnership, which lasted from 1811 to 1828. The company specialised in elaborate and beautifully decorated musical watches, including skeleton and automaton watches, and mechanical animals. The firm was established rue Jean Jacques Rousseau 45 in Geneva. After their association came to an end, both Piguet and Meylan continued for some time to work with their sons. Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841) Born in 1775 in Le Chenit in the Vallée de Joux. Isaac-Daniel Piguet was the son of Pierre-Moïse Piguet and Elisabeth Nicole. He married Jeanne-Françoise Capt around 1795, and around 1800 settled in Geneva with his family. Isaac-Daniel Piguet went into business with Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841), his brother-inlaw, 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. Philippe-Samuel Meylan died in Geneva in 1845. Piguet & Meylan是指18世紀兩位日內瓦製錶師Isaac-Daniel Piguet及Philippe-Samuel Meylan。二人 年輕時落腳日內瓦,1811年開始合作製作裝飾華麗的音樂錶,當中不乏鏤空、活動人偶及機械動物作 品。17年後二人拆夥,並各自與自己的兒子繼續事業。

Patek Philippe, Beta 21, References 3587 / 1, 3587 / 2, 3597 / 2, 3603 The reference 3587, launched in 1970, represents one of the milestones of Patek’s history with the integration of the calibre CEH Beta 21 movement, housed in a massive oversize case. This model of electronic watch is declined in several references allowing today connoisseurs to collect a dozen different pieces: -

Reference 3587 / 1 With cushion-shaped; integrated “woven” bracelet.

-

Reference 3587 / 2 With cushion-shaped; integrated textured and pierced mesh bracelet, so-called “Swiss Cheese”

Usually characterised by its integrated bracelet, rare variations of the Beta 21 have “T-bar” lugs with leather strap: -

Reference 3597 / 2 With cushion-shaped; without integrated bracelet.

-

Reference 3603 With vertical-rectangular-“cambré”-shaped; without integrated bracelet; with date at 6 o’clock.

These watches can be fitted with silver, gold or blue dials. Calibre Beta 21 These watches can be fitted with silver, gold or blue dials. In 1962, the CHE – Centre Electronique Horloger (Electronic Watch Centre) – was founded by a group of 21 Swiss watchmakers, including Audemars Piguet, Omega, Patek Philippe, Piaget and Rolex, to develop an electronic movement for wristwatches. 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.

At the time, this kind of Genevan watch was often designed for export markets and mainly sold in China from Western trading posts (hongs): the Thirteen Factories (also known as the Canton Factories), a neighbourhood along the Pearl River in southwestern Canton (Guangzhou), province of Guangdong. An exactly similar watch is today kept in Patek Philippe Museum, Geneva (Inv. S-433). It is not impossible that these two watches were then marketed together!

Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841) & Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841) Piguet & Capt (active between 1802 and 1811)

Contrary to the watches decorated with painted enamel scenes and intended for the Chinese market, the scenes of the automaton watches are never performed with a mirror effect; they are always made in the same direction. This is probably due to technical and financial reasons (cost of production, efficiency).

From Ventôse 16, An X (March 7, 1802), to 1811, Henry-Daniel Capt (1773-1841) formed a partnership with Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841), who was from the same village – Le Chenit – as he in the Vallée de Joux.

Following this separation, Capt restarts a numbering of his movements in the 300.

The only known exception is a pair of object-watches in the shape of a perfume bottle (height: 20 cm.), signed by John Rich (born circa 1756, active in London and Geneva in the late-18th and early-19th century), also kept in Patek Philippe Museum, Geneva (Inv.

百達翡麗,Nautilus Jumbo,3700/001,精鋼自動上鍊腕錶,備有日期顯示,附配件

Patek Philippe, Reference 3700, Nautilus 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.

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).

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!

Originally, the Ref. 3700 / 1 A comes with a coveted cork presentation box.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

World Time by Louis Cottier The World Time system was invented circa 1935 by Louis Cottier (1894-1966), famous independent watchmaker in Geneva. This World Time system was used by Patek Philippe and also by other major names in the Swiss watch industry, such as Agassiz, Rolex and Vacheron Constantin. He worked on his invention for several years and finally filed a patent for it. -

Movement, case and dial based on the Swiss invention patent No. 270 085, delivered on February 4, 1948, to Louis Cottier, Carouge-Geneva, for a “Montre universelle”.

Over time, he developed this invention to make a clock with Universal Time, that remained in the prototype state because no model seems to have been put into production. -

Movement for a clock based on the Swiss invention patent No. 273 141, delivered on July 7, 1948, to Louis Cottier, Carouge-Geneva, for a “Pièce d’horlogerie universelle”.

Le Palais Royal, Havana (Cuba) Havana’s grand architecture and influx of international visitors in the early 20th century earned the city the nickname “the Paris of the Caribbean”. Such was its cultural importance that great international intellects of the time chose to call the city home, most notably Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961). In this period of prosperity, Le Palais Royal catered to the well-heeled elite of the city and became a major retailer for Patek Philippe. Just ten years following the sale of this highly important Patek Philippe watch, Cuban society would undergo radical transformation in its Revolution. It can well be theorised that the present lot was one of the last complicated Patek Philippe watches to be sold in Cuba, and perhaps one of the most important pieces to bear this retailer’s name.

It makes us discover the interior of a kitchen full of charming and funny details. These watches include, according to the models, an animated scene of five to seven automata on a background always painted differently. - - - - - -

At the top, on the right, the wheel of a spit is in motion; Inside this one, a small mammal hops and trains it; Below, on the right, the water of the fountain flows; In the centre, a chicken, on its spit, turns and grills in front of a fire; Behind, at the bottom of the chimney, the flames crackle; On the left, sitting on a chair, a woman grinds with her right arm a mixture in a pestle, placed on her thighs, which she holds with her left arm; - His foot activates the spit. From a mechanical point of view, there are three kinds of achievements: Type 1. Movement built with fusee and chain and verge escapement The automata are activated upon request by an independent gear of train with going barrel (triggered by push-bolt on the side of the case). To operate the watch and the scene with automata, there are two barrels to wind (at 6 :30 and 11 o’clock or at 4 :45 and 7 :45). Case diameter: between 57 mm. and 60 mm. They are usually attributed to Pierre-Simon Gounouilhou (1779-1847), Geneva. Of the ten watches listed to date, some movement numbers are known: 6 108, 8 030, 8 095 and 8 248.

Although we endeavor to mention in our descriptions significant defects, needed repairs, absent stones and the like, we do not guarantee that the descriptions are comprehensive. Please note that descriptions may not specify all mechanical defects, replacement of original parts, or authenticity of individual component parts (such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets, buckles, deployant clasps and leather bands since subsequent

repairs and restoration work may have resulted without Antiquorum’s knowledge.) Furthermore, we make no judgments as to whether diamond dials or diamond bezels originated at the factory or are later additions. We do not guarantee the accuracy or operation of any watch function such as timekeeping, chronograph, calendar, repeat or register. Buyers are advised that boxes, certificates or any other accessories are not available unless stated otherwise. The dimensions given in the catalogue descriptions are overall tip-to-tip and most often include the lugs. Buyers of water-resistant and waterproof watches are strongly encouraged to have such watches inspected by a competent watchmaker of their choice upon purchase since these watches have been opened by the Antiquorum watch experts during cataloging. Watches may not be taken apart whilst on view without consent of Antiquorum’s watch experts. Antiquorum will accept requests for condition reports with additional photographs via email

at hk@antiquorum.swiss. To best accommodate any requests, please submit all inquiries no later than two days prior to the sale date.

ANTIQUORUM AS AGENT Except as otherwise stated Antiquorum acts as agent for the Seller.

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 represen-

tative 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, authen

367


ticity, 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 368

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. Separa-

tely 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.

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.

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.

If any dispute arises after a sale the record of Antiquorum for the sale shall be conclusive.

4.10 Video or digital images If Antiquorum may provide at any sale video or digital screening of any lot Antiquorum accepts no liability 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

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 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.

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, 370

無論在任何情況下,安帝古倫均無法就 所有腕錶、懷錶、時鐘及其他計時器之 計時功能作出保証。

據此,安帝古倫就拍品提供之狀況說明 僅為安帝古倫之意見,並不構成安帝古 倫作出陳述或保證。

Antiquorum Grading System for Timepieces & Experts’ Overall Opinion With a view to always providing a higher standard of service to its clientele, Antiquorum has introduced a grading system within its auction catalogues, providing immediate and detailed information on the condition of each lot offered for sale. With the assistance of the Antiquorum Grading System, clients will have immediate answers to their questions regarding the condition of each lot, and will no longer need to find the time to request condition reports.

In addition, with the Experts’ 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

GRADING SYSTEM GUIDE The lots described in this catalogue have been carefully examined and valued by Antiquorum’s experts and watchmakers, taking into consideration the aesthetic, historical and technical interest, age and rarity, as well as the technology available at the time of production of each timepiece. For such judgment to be as objective as possible, it must rest on a number of criteria, particularly with regards to the age of a lot. Indeed, a wristwatch of less than 50 years old cannot be judged with the same criteria as a Renaissance watch. This is the reason why some of the gradings will only qualify for certain types of watches and will never be used for others. For example, if, as a general rule, watches can be attributed gradings from 1 to 4 for the case, the dial and the movement, watches of less than 100 years old can be given grading 1 (as new), 3 (in very good condition), or 4 (in good condition). The latter, (grading 4),

will be followed by one or more grading numbers to justify why the lot cannot be considered “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.
