Masson's world is not a world of shapes, like that of the Cubists, but a world of forces.'- Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler(Typescript slipped into a letter from Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler to Curt Valentin, 10 December 1941, Paris, Archives Masson. Quoted in C. Morando, André Masson Biography 1896-1941, 2010, p. 39). André Masson was an artist who defied categorisation. His technical versatility, experimental spirit and lifelong preoccupation with metamorphosis engendered a long and storied career, spanning Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. By the age of 11, he was a student at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts et l'Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels. At 16, he was awarded the Grand Prix de l'Académie for painting, and commenced his training at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His experiments with automatic drawing – the process of freely moving materials without planning or conscious thought – attracted the attention of André Breton, Surrealism's principal theorist, in mid-1920s Paris. After he relocated to New York City in the early 1940s to escape the Nazi occupation of Paris, Masson's spontaneous and emotive approach to painting influenced Jackson Pollock's development of his quintessential action paintings. A hallucinatory vision of cosmic clusters and fantastical syllabary, Visages dans la nuit des fleurs, 1959, synthesises Masson's Surrealist roots and his later Abstract Expressionism. Using his characteristic colle ensable ('sandy glue') technique, Masson threw an admixture of sand and glue onto the stretched canvas, then formed his painterly composition around the resulting three-dimensional islands. Writing to his friend and art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler at this time, Masson exulted in this 'extreme spontaneity... having only rhythm and the fire of inspiration as my starting point.' (Letter from Masson to Kahnweiler, 15 July 1955, quoted in Donation Louise et Michel Leiris: Collection Kahnweiler-Leiris, exh. cat., Paris, 1984, p. 144). Incorporating natural phenomena into his work, in imagery and in technique, was a constant motive. During his time in the United States, Masson became fascinated with the indigenous Iroquois culture, for whom the natural world is sacred and the night sky is rich in stories and deities. In Visages dans la nuit des fleurs, abstracted, face-like symbols appear to dance across the celestial scenery like omnipotent beings. The ebb and flow of sandy rivulets forms a rhythmic backdrop, punctuated by short, staccato strokes resembling comets. The resulting effect is a transcendental crescendo, a frenzied ritual of light, colour and dance. Visages dans la nuit des fleurs was produced during Masson's 1950s période asiatique, within which he incorporated the philosophies and calligraphic forms of Zen Buddhism. Masson was first introduced to the school of thought by the Japanese writer Kino Matsuo in Paris in 1930. After studying the East Asian collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the 1940s, he began experimenting with ideograms – characters encapsulating the idea of a thing, without indicating the sounds used to say it. In Visages dans la nuit des fleurs, Masson morphs these characters into a nebulous syllabary. As explained by Carolyn Lanchner, 'a great attraction of Zen for Masson was its emphasis on the immediate mystical experience as the way to ultimate truth... In practice, conjuring the void brought forth in his painting a spontaneous effusion of his own past art whose tides were stemmed or redirected by the formal concerns of the sophisticated European artist.' (Carolyn Lanchner, 'André Masson: Origins and Development,' in André Masson, exh. cat., New York, 1976, p. 186). The explosions of bold colour across a starry sky also allude to Masson's personal traumas, which ignited his long-running fixation with destiny and the ambiguity of the human condition. After suffering a grave chest wound as a French infantry soldier in World War I, Masson was confined to a series of hospitals and one psychiatric ward. Recalling the battle of Chemin des Dames in April of 1917, during which he was immobilised and left lying helpless throughout the tumult of battle, Masson recalled, 'The indescribable night of the battlefield, streaked in every direction by bright red and green rockets, striped by the wake and the flashes of the projectiles and rockets – all this fairytale-like enchantment was orchestrated by the explosions of shells which literally encircled me and sprinkled me with earth and shrapnel' (Masson, quoted in exh. cat., W. Rubin & C. Lanchner, André Masson, New York, 1976, p. 30).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Rolex. A stainless steel automatic calendar bracelet watch with dual time zoneModel: GMT Master 'Pepsi'Reference: 1675Date: Circa 1971Movement: 26-jewel Cal.1570 automatic, free-sprung Glucydor microstella balance, adjusted to 5 positions & temperature, No.D58****Dial: Black, luminous dot hour markers, baton quarters, white outer minute divisions, magnified date aperture at 3, polished Mercedes hands with luminous inserts, centre seconds, arrow tipped dual time zone handCase: Brushed and polished tonneau form, screw down back and shouldered crown, blue and red 'Pepsi' bezel insert, inside back stamped III.72, No.324****Strap/Bracelet: Polished Oyster linkBuckle/Clasp: Signed folding claspSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 39mmFootnotes:The Rolex GMT was launched in 1954 after the Transatlantic Airways company asked Rolex to produce a watch useful for their pilots. It quickly gained favour among the Pan-Am executives and the business jet-set community as a whole.Offered continuously since its introduction with relatively little modification it is perhaps, along with the Submariner, the most classic Rolex 'tool' watch made. The reference 1675 began production 80 years ago in 1960. This was the first GMT Master reference to feature protective crown guards as well as the smaller triangular tip on the second hour hand. The current example features a highly attractive gilt dial.Examples of the immense popularity and timeless style of the model are evident with steel GMT Master watches being worn on the wrist of actors and actresses such as Honor Blackman as 'Pussy Galore' in the 1964 movie Goldfinger, Tom Selleck as the Ferrari driving 'Thomas Magnum' in the 1980s television series Magnum PI (series 2-4) and more recently on the wrist of Ben Affleck in the 2014 movie Gone Girl.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Cartier. An unusual and rare 18K gold manual wind reversible wristwatchModel: Tank BasculanteDate: Circa 1941Movement: 19-jewel rectangular Cartier manual wind, bi-metallic compensation balance, adjusted to temperature & 2 positions, No.15961Dial: White, black Roman numerals, black inner minute track, blued steel sword handsCase: Brushed and polished hinged reversible rectangular, crown below 6, No.48304Strap/Bracelet: Associated black alligatorBuckle/Clasp: 18K gold deployant clasp, stamped 17663 and EJ in lozenge with sand glassSigned: Dial & movement, case stamped with an EJ in lozengeSize: 20mm x 31mm Accompaniments: Amsterdam Watch Company CertificateFootnotes:The Tank Basculante was first designed in 1932 and was aimed at an elite clientele looking to protect their timepieces from impact whilst predominantly playing sport. The case is composed of 3 parts allowing the central body to be inverted in order to present a smooth solid case back thus protecting the more vulnerable glass side. Due to its similar first introduction date, the Tank Basculante is often compared with the 1931 Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Although sharing a similar goal and developed by the same company Spécialités Horlogers, the Basculante differs from the Reverso in several key ways. In particular the method used to invert the case on the Basculante is via a swinging frame that pulls the central body out towards you before flipping and replacing. In comparison the Reverso is set within a track that allows you to slide the body out to the side before turning over.The original production of the Basculante was quite limited and after a brief revival in the 90s the model has gone back into retirement. The current lot represents therefore a rare opportunity to own a very stylish timepiece from a fun and experimental chapter in the history of early Cartier Tanks.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The case was made by the company Taubert & Fils who in 1924 had purchased the Borgel case making business along with Francois Borgel's case designs. The collaboration with Taubert led to one of the most distinctive early chronograph case designs featuring a screw down back with a large distinctive hexagonal raised section to aid firm closing of the two piece case. This example also features unusual and attractive star-burst capped chronograph pushers.

Rolex. A rare stainless steel automatic calendar bracelet watchModel: Double Red Sea DwellerReference: 1665Date: Circa 1972Movement: 26-jewel Cal.1570 automatic, free-sprung Glucydur microstella balance, adjusted to 5 positions & temperature, No.D41****Dial: Black, luminous dot hour markers, baton quarters, white outer minute divisions, date aperture at 3, polished Mercedes hands with luminous inserts, centre secondsCase: Brushed and polished tonneau form, screw down back numbered inside No.525**** and shouldered crown, inside back stamped I.72, calibrated bezel, No.625****Strap/Bracelet: Brushed and polished 93150 Oyster link, end links 585Buckle/Clasp: Signed folding clasp, stamped VBSigned: Case, dial & movementSize: 40mm Accompaniments: Rolex pouchFootnotes:The 'Double-Red' Sea-Dweller reference 1665 appeared in the Rolex catalogue from 1973 until 1975. The nickname refers to the two red printed lines on the dial. The 'Sea-Dweller 2000' was one of the first production watches to employ a gas-escape valve on the band of the case, which allows the interior of a watch to decompress and avoids damage. The one way valve automatically releases built up gas from inside the case when the diver rises from the deep sea environment without which the watch would be in danger of popping the seals. Interestingly, the plexi glass covering the dial did not feature the usual cyclops magnifying the date window as it adds a pressure point which would cause a weakness.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

After outperforming two other watches under rigorous testing and extreme, harsh conditions, NASA certified the Omega Speedmaster Professional to accompany the Apollo 11 astronauts, becoming the first watch to be worn on the moon.Subsequently known as the 'Moon Watch', the Omega Ref.145.022 Speedmaster Professional was produced in a limited edition of 1,014 pieces in 18k yellow gold that were first presented at a banquet held in Houston on 25th November 1969. The first two watches (No. 1 & 2) were first offered to the President and Vice-President of the United States, who politely declined the gift and these two watches are now housed in the Omega Museum. Various astronauts and NASA-affiliated persons received limited edition numbers 3 to 32 (and 1001 to 1014 at a subsequent date) engraved with their respective names. Numbers 33 to 1000 were offered for sale to the public and were inscribed 'The First Watch Worn on the Moon.'The present example of the commemorative gold Omega Speedmaster Professional, numbered 832, is in good condition and is an incredible rarity for any astute collector of vintage timepieces.

The single-button, split second chronograph is powered by the revolutionary Calibre CHR 27-525PS. The movement, which was first used in the 5959P is, to this day, still the thinnest column-wheel chronograph calibre ever made. At just 5.35mm it is an exquisite feat of the finest watchmaking. Movements like this are the reason Patek Philippe are so revered.Despite its relatively young age, this piece is already a tried and true collector's item. The 5950A is an Application piece, meaning it was only ever made for and sold to Patek's best clients. Its limited production making it exceptionally difficult to find. The watch's distinctive design only further improves its desirability. While most complicated Pateks are fashioned from precious metals, this reference is crafted in stainless steel, a surprising, but welcome deviation from the norm. The classic raised Breguet numerals and belle epoque flourishes seamlessly compliment the modern aesthetic of the case making the watch timeless and modern. With such consistently strong numbers at auction, this model is the ultimate collector's piece. It is already cemented as one of the most impressive pieces from, arguably, the most important manufacturer.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The nickname refers to the two red printed lines on the dial. The 'Sea-Dweller 2000' was one of the first production watches to employ a gas-escape valve on the band of the case, which allows the interior of a watch to decompress and avoids damage. The one way valve automatically releases built up gas from inside the case when the diver rises from the deep sea environment without which the watch would be in danger of popping the seals. Interestingly, the plexi glass covering the dial did not feature the usual cyclops magnifying the date window as it adds a pressure point which would cause a weakness.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
