He was Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths company between 1996 and 1997, and following this he remained closely involved with the Goldsmiths and was integral in creating a new evolved institute for future goldsmiths, the Goldsmiths' Centre, which focused on developing goldsmiths creative education and skills.

Ï’ Girard Perregaux, Vintage 1945, ref. 99860, an 18 carat gold perpetual calendar wrist watch, no. 6, circa 2009, manual wind movement with tourbillon and three gold bridges, 19 jewels, cal. 9802, no. 6, white dial, Arabic numerals, Dauphine hands, subsidiary dials for combined constant seconds and moonphase aperture, day, date and month, screwed down glazed back with four screws, case, dial and movement signed, on a Girard Perregaux brown alligator strap with an 18 carat gold deployant clasp, accompanied by a Girard Perregaux box with two keys, guarantee card and certificate, information book, user manual, outer card packaging and a copy of Girard Perregaux by Francois Chaille with dust cover, width 38mm A function on a watch that is used to tell anything other than the time is referred to as a complication. This watch features three of the most difficult complications to produce on a watch. The perpetual calendar displays the day, date and month. This difficult to produce mechanism will account for leap years and both shorter and longer months. Once properly set the perpetual calendar will not need adjusting for many years. The perpetual calendar on this watch is also combined with a moonphase. As the name suggests this displays the current phase of the moon in the sky. Where this may be considered one of the least useful functions of a watch, it allows the manufacture to show their artistry and skill in producing fine and complicated watches.The final complication on this watch can be viewed in the form of a tourbillon through the back of the watch. The tourbillon was first invented in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet. The tourbillon was designed to counter the effects of gravity on pocket watches by placing the escapement and balance wheel within a rotating cage. This mechanism is found in watches by only the highest of skilled watchmaker's due to the difficulty to produce. All these complications come together in this fine watch.

Lot 460
*Antonio Pisano called Pisanello (c. 1393-1455), Filippo Maria Visconti (Duke of Milan, 1412-47), bronze medal, bust to right wearing hat with soft top; long inscription giving his titles of Duke of Milan, Count of Pavia and Angera, Lord of Genoa, rev., the duke in full armour on horseback left holding lance upright; to the right, a page on horseback and between them, an armed horseman to front; in the background, a mountainous landscape with buildings and, on the right, a colossal female statue stands amid the buildings; signed below, OPVS PISANI PICTORIS, 102.5mm (Hill 21; Arm. I, 8, 23; Kress 3 = Pollard 2; Syson & Gordon 66, 2.24), pierced, a few knocks in obverse field, a very fine contemporary cast with brown patina. Much has been written on the subject of Pisanello’s medals for he is universally acknowledged as the inventor of the portrait medal, an art form that he made popular and which flourished thereafter in Italy and beyond. His first medal has generally been regarded as that of John VIII Palaeologus who was in Italy in 1438-39 to attend the ecumenical council of the Greek and Latin churches held initially in Ferrara and later moved to Florence. The present medal of Filippo Maria Visconti has also been put forward as a contender for Pisanello’s first medal – and Syson and Gordon in Pisanello, Painter to the Renaissance Court (2001) date the medal of Visconti to c.1435-40 and that of the Byzantine emperor to c.1438-41. They show how the chivalric reverses have been influenced by, in the case of Visconti, Pisanello’s fresco of St. George and the Princess of Silena (c.1434-38) and in the case of John VIII Palaeologus, Pisanello’s painting of The Vision of St. Eustace (c. 1438-42). The duke was notoriously shy of his appearance (as related by his secretary Pier Candido Decembrio) and would only allow Pisanello to portray him, so that all other depictions of him depend upon the medal. Provenance: Collection Vicomte de Jonghe, J. Schulman, 24 November 1936, lot 3 and pl. III.
