the first with a rose cut diamond and black enamel urn on a white ground, with black border bearing the words 'Adieu, Remember Me', the curved plaque engraved on the back 'The Right Hon'ble Lady Lyttelton, Ob't Aug 27, 1795, Æt 78', on a plain tapered shank (not round); the second ring with rectangular glazed panel containing plaited chestnut hair, in a double border of seed pearls and black enamel with scalloped outer edge, to trifurcated shoulders and plain shank size O, the back engraved 'Bate Richards Esq'r, died 23 Feb, 1815, Aged 69' (Qty: 2)Footnote: Lady Lyttelton was born Elizabeth Rich, daughter of Field Marshall Sir Robert Rich. She was the second wife and widow of Sir George Lyttelton, 5th Baronet, who was a Privy Councillor and Chancellor of the Exchequer. In 1756, Sir George was raised to the Barony, thereafter being styled the Right Honourable Lord Lyttelton. He died in 1773. His seat was Hagley Hall in Worcestershire. Also living in Hagley was the Richards family. Bate Richards (1745/6-1815) appears to be the father of John Richards of Hagley (1780-1847), MP for Knaresborough, and in 1844 High Sheriff of Worcestershire. His oldest son was Alfred Bate Richards (1820-1876) who was a journalist and author, and friend of the explorer Richard Burton.
the white dial, unsigned, but marked 'Gibson Ltd Belfast' for the retailer, with black Roman numerals, blued spade hands, subsidiary seconds register and chemin de fer chapter ring, the signed mechanical crown wind movement number 71792 +31457 Peerless with pumpkin shaped winder and hand setting button at 11 o'clock, the gunmetal one piece case by François Borgel, number 442375, stamped 'ACIER', with threaded inner to take the movement housingFootnote: Other notes: François Borgel started making watch cases at the end of the 19th century from his workshops in Geneva and in 1891 he patented the screw down watch case design that bears his name today, the 'Borgel Case'. The Borgel case was first used for pocket watches before being widely used during the First World War for wristwatches. A watch with a Borgel case was significantly more expensive than one in an ordinary case, but it was the best available at the time for life in the trenches and military men rarely economised on kit on which their life depended. The case back and middle part are in one piece, so there is no opening at the back. The front opening of the case is thickened and threaded internally with a fine thread. The movement, complete with dial and hands, is mounted in an externally threaded carrier ring, and the bezel carrying the crystal is mounted onto the end of this carrier ring. The assembly of carrier ring with movement, dial, hands, bezel and crystal is then screwed into the case from the front with the crown and spring loaded stem fully retracted. Borgel cases are now rare and are much sought after by collectors.
circa 1880, the front lid with blue enamel Roman numerals around an inner chemin der fer chapter ring, the unsigned white dial 32mm diameter, with black Roman numerals, gold coloured spade hands and chemin de fer chapter ring, the unsigned crown wind mechanical movement with hand setting button at 2 o'clock, the case, 36mm diameter, covered with engine turned engraving, verso with a small circular and vacant cartouche, inner stamped '18K' numbered 15614, the cuvette, similarly numbered and engraved, 'To the Queen, Charles Frodsham, 84 Strand, London' below a crown, gross weight 48gFootnote: Charles Frodsham was a distinguished English horologist founding his business in the 1840s. From 1884 he traded as Charles Frodsham & Co, which remains in existence as the longest continuously trading firm of chronometer manufacturers in the world. At the Great Exhibition in 1851, he was awarded a first-class medal for his timekeepers. The firm won fourteen further medals and honours at the major international exhibitions over the rest of the nineteenth century. In 1997 the company moved to new retail premises at 32 Bury Street, St. James’s, and set up a manufacturing and conservation workshop in East Sussex, where it continues today, specialising in English precision horology.
the first, double struck with French marks for 18ct gold, comprising a short length of filed trace link chain, terminating at one end with a T-bar, and at the other with a circular twisted motif from which hangs a circular disc with monogram and inscription, overall length 12.5cm, and weight 7.6g; the second, struck with Austrian marks for Vienna, 14ct gold, comprising a short length of alternate belcher and figure of eight link chain, terminating at one end with a bolt ring fastening and at the other with a swivel catch, with attached safety pin attachment, overall length 11.5cm and weight 6.7g (Qty: 2)
the cream coloured dial, 20mm diameter, with blue Arabic numerals, gold coloured scrollwork hands and gold coloured dot minute track, the crown wind mechanical movement with onion shaped winder and hand setting button at 1 o'clock, the case, 30mm diameter, with engraved bezel, verso engraved with foliate designs and featuring a two stems of roses each with a bloom around a central vacant escutcheon shaped cartouche, stamped inside '14K' and numbered 125821, the base metal cuvette similarly numbered, pendant bow removed and with later added fixed lugs to a brown leather strap with pin buckle, gross weight 23.1gFootnote: Until the beginning of the 20th century, watches were generally worn by gentlemen suspended from chains, with the watch housed in the waistcoat or breast pocket - hence the name 'pocket watch' - and watches for ladies were either attached to clothing with a brooch fitting, or suspended from a chain around the neck. However, during the first Word War there was a need by soldiers to be able to see the time quickly and easily without having to rummage in a pocket, not least because they may well have their hands full, and pocket watches began to be worn strapped to the wrist with leather. Later, pocket watches had the pendant bow removed and lugs attached to the side and were fitted with a traditional watch strap, and the 'trench watch' was born. It soon became fashionable to wear the watch on the wrist, so at this time many pocket watches were converted in this way. It was not until later that the dial configuration was changed so that '12' and '6' were positioned at 90 degrees to the wrist as they are today. This was not only because fixing lugs where the winding crown and case hinge were located would be difficult, but also so that the crown rested comfortably on the wrist when worn. The dials were not repositioned as that was 'a watchmaker's job', whereas soldering lugs to the case side was reasonably easy to do 'at home'. In this example, the '12' and '6' are still parallel to the wrist and the pendant bow is missing. It started life as a pocket watch and was subsequently converted to a wristwatch - following the fashion which remains to this day.
the first a three stone diamond ring with graduated round brilliants, claw set, plain tapered shank size N, stamped '18ct & Pt', and engraved with initials and the date 25.12.32, total estimated weight of diamonds approximately half a carat; also a 19th century diamond ring with three old cushion cut diamonds, the central one in a diaper recess within a square motif, each shoulder similarly set with a smaller diamond, tapered shank size L½, stamped '18', total estimated diamond weight approximately 0.25cts; and an 18ct gold signet ring set with an oval lapis lazuli, partial hallmarks, ring size L (Qty: 3)
circa 1955, the signed silvered dial, 14mm diameter, with gold coloured batons and hands, the signed crown wind mechanical movement calibre C.41 number 1222952, the signed case with fluted bezel, 19mm diameter, number 1236627, with Swiss markings for 18ct gold together with Poinçon de Maître, Key of Geneva number 29 for Weber & Cie. SA, to a later added integral tapering mesh link bracelet with two stage fold over ladder clasp, stamped 'ESZEHA 585', overall length 175mm and weight ex movement 27.9gFootnote: Other notes: The case is an IWC original, but the bracelet appears to have been added at a later stage. Eszeha placed movements from IWC, Eterna, JLC, Movado, Vacheron and many other top Swiss makers in their cases and bracelets and the company always put their own brand name (ESZEHA) on them, as in this example. The Eszeha company was founded by Karl Scheufele (EsZeHa was the German pronunciation of the first three letters in Scheufele's last name) in 1904 and passed down to his son Karl Scheufele II and then his grandson Karl Scheufele III. It was Karl Scheufele III who purchased the famous watch company Chopard in 1963, saving it from bankruptcy.
circa 1980, the signed square white dial with black Roman numerals, blued sword shaped hands, centre seconds, chemin de fer chapter ring and date window at 3 o'clock, the signed 17 jewel mechanical ETA automatic movement calibre 2671 X1, the crown with synthetic sapphire end stone, the satin finished case with polished screw head bezel and crown guards, verso signed and engraved 'automatique', to an aftermarket dark blue crocodile strap by Hirsch, with steel pin buckleFootnote: The Cartier 'Santos' wristwatch was the world's first watch specifically designed to be worn on the wrist and was inspired by the Brazilian aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont. Santos-Dumont approached Louis Cartier with the idea of a pilot's watch as he was having difficulty accessing his pocket watch whilst flying and wanted to be able to easily read the time without taking his hands off the controls during flight. Introduced in 1904, and on general sale in 1911, the timepiece was considered revolutionary since it was secured to the wrist by a leather strap and was designed to be worn on a daily basis. With the help of his new Cartier timepiece, Alberto Santos-Dumont successfully achieved a personal flight record in the year 1906 with a height of 220 meters over the duration of 21 seconds. The Cartier Santos represented a milestone in the innovative potential of Cartier and today it remains one of the most famous models in the history of fine watchmaking.
circa 2013, model Phoenix 10.1 Quantieme A Grand Affichage Rotatif, the signed sunburst slate grey dial, 33mm diameter, with applied rose gilt baton hour markers and Roman numeral quarters, gilt pierced lance hands, centre seconds and white extended date aperture running from 1 to 5, the 28 jewel mechanical twin barrel manual wind movement calibre DB 1334/2 Henry, number 0000044, the brushed and polished case, 41mm diameter, with exhibition back, numbered 000-0044-AA, 13/24, bearing Swiss convention marks for 18ct gold, to a signed brown crocodile grain strap fitted with a signed 18ct gold deployant clasp, presented in the original case with outer card cover, Certificate of Origin, Warranty and Instruction bookletFootnote: Provenance: Bonhams, London, 17 May 2016, Watches and Wristwatches including the Collection of a European Nobleman, lot 314; purchased by the vendor for £4000.00 plus buyer's premium. Original catalogue and bill of sale included with this lot. Other notes: A. Favre & Fils is one of Switzerland's oldest watchmaking companies. A record in the Neuchâtel State Archives states that on March 29, 1718, a contract is signed between Abraham Favre and the master watchmaker, Daniel Gagnebin, in which the former commits to teach Favre "The profession of the watchmaker to the extent of his knowledge" for a period of three years. This document marks the beginning of the Favre watchmaking history. Abraham Favre worked with his brother in-law, Jacques-Frédéric Houriet, who is regarded by many as the father of Swiss chronometry. Favre was later invited to work on timepieces by the great Abraham-Louis Breguet. One of his masterpieces, a magnificent pocket watch of Louis XVI style manufactured before 1790, is in the Watchmaking Museum of La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is signed A. Favre fils au Locle. The movement in this example is known as the 'Henry' as a tribute to Henry A. Favre - 8th generation watchmaker and the first to introduce the twin barrel movement, giving a power reserve of up to 84 hours, and the sleek design of the case was inspired by stealth technology, giving it a very contemporary look. The company, now in its 10th generation of watchmakers, still produces watches to this day, and this example is apparently still available priced at 42.353 Eur. (approx. £37,500.00)
circa 1964, ref. 166.020, the signed and 'double branded' silvered dial, 30mm diameter, with silvered batons, hands and centre seconds and date window at 3 o'clock, the signed front loading 24 jewel mechanical automatic movement with two stage stem (outer stage and crown lacking), calibre 562, number 21874211, the stainless steel case, verso with Seamaster logo, signed to the interior and numbered 166.020, to an aftermarket 'fixo-flex' stainless steel expanding bracelet, presented within a signed cream cardboard outer box, no case or documentsFootnote: Other notes: Omega first introduced the 166.020 model in 1962 and their double branding of the model as a Seamaster 'De Ville’ emphasised the watch’s sporty nature (for which the Seamaster models were well-known) - whilst also drawing on the watch’s classic, dress-style look which the De Ville range was introduced to represent.
circa 1971, model 198.030, the signed champagne dial, 32mm diameter, with gold coloured batons and hands, centre seconds, date window at three o'clock and outer minute track, the signed 12 jewel tuning fork electronic movement ESA calibre 9162, Omega calibre 1250, number 35753577 / O3Y2, with copper plated plates, the gold plated case with screw down steel back, signed to the inner, to an aftermarket gold plated link bracelet with fold-over claspFootnote: Other notes: In 1967, the Omega Genève f300 chronometer was heralded as one of the world's first concept watch collections. The curved shape of the case was the result of a detailed exploration of the anatomy of the wrist and computers were used to create the dial layout. A combination of bold design and clever marketing led to it becoming Omega's number one selling watch of the early 1970s. Omega used their own version of the ESA 9162 tuning fork movement in this example which was considered the very best of all the tuning fork movements. They were designed by Max Hetzel who had previously worked for Bulova and who was responsible for the Bulova Accutron. Omega's version of the standard ESA 9162 differs slightly as copper plated plates were used throughout the movement. The other watch manufacturers kept the ESA-supplied nickel plated plates. The Omega watches employing these tuning fork movements were referred to as the Omega f300 models, reflecting the frequency of the tuning fork.
c.1966, model 105.003 - 65, the signed black dial with luminous baton markers, hands and centre chronograph counter, with three subsidiary registers and outer tachymetre bezel, the signed 17 jewel mechanical manual wind chronograph movement calibre 321 number 24004697, with pushers above and below the signed crown, the stainless steel case with screw down back, verso engraved with Speedmaster logo, the interior stamped 'ST 105 003-65', to a stainless steel signed steelinox bracelet No. 13, numbered 7912, with fold over clasp and expanding sections, presented in the original red and gold tooled box, with the Omega Guarantee Booklet and Card dated 4/12/66, and the original Warranty Certificate from retailer J.W. Benson, of the same dateFootnote: Other notes: In June 1965, Gemini IV became the second crewed spaceflight to lift off as part of NASA's Project Gemini. Astronauts James McDivitt and Ed White circled the Earth 66 times in four days, making it the first US flight to approach the five-day flight of the Soviet Vostok 5. The highlight of the mission was the first space walk by an American, during which White floated free outside the spacecraft, whilst tethered to it, for approximately 20 minutes. Both of these accomplishments helped the United States overcome the Soviet Union's early lead in the space race. On this mission, White wore an Omega Speedmaster ref 105.003 strapped to the outside of the left-side sleeve of his G4C space suit. In order to accommodate the space suit, the watch was attached via a long nylon strap secured with velcro. When worn on the wrist, the strap could be wound around several times to shorten its length. This was the first time an Omega Speedmaster had been exposed to the vacuum of space. This model was later given the nickname the 'Ed White' in recognition of his historic space walk, (officially described as an EVA or extra vehicular activity), on June 3. The 105.003 was produced for just a short period of time (1963-1969) with the majority made in 1965, before the 145.012 model was introduced and chosen by NASA to accompany the Apollo 11 mission to put the first man on the moon. The 105.003 and prior models are informally known as 'Pre Moon' Speedmasters, since their manufacture predates the moon landings. The Speedmaster remains one of several watches qualified by NASA for spaceflight and is still the only one so qualified for EVA.

He was born in Manhattan, New York City, in 1886 - the fourth child of William Waldorf Astor, 1st Viscount Astor, and Mary Dahlgren Paul. He was five years old when his family left New York to live in England. He represented Great Britain in rackets at the 1908 Summer Olympics, winning the gold medal in the men's doubles competition and bronze in the men's singles event. In 1922, he purchased The Times newspaper following the death of its owner, Alfred Harmsworth. During his tenure, the newspaper sponsored Edmund Hillary's expedition which made the first successful climb to the summit of Mount Everest. Astor remained Chairman of the paper until 1959 when his son, Gavin, took over. On 21 January 1956 he was created Baron Astor of Hever, of Hever Castle, in Kent.
