As master watchmaker, Vital's focus was dominated by the design and craft of timepieces. His skill led to the company holding several patents, including the moon-phase and plain calendar. Unfortunately, Vital's expertise was recognised by larger companies, such as Cartier and Bulova, and he ceased his work with Bueche Girod and took on separate employment. Drawing on his legacy, Bueche Girod continued to produce watches, albeit in greatly reduced volumes. Capitalising on Girod's jewellery background, the company became known for their decorative and elaborately designed ladies' watches. The scarcity in production, coupled with the ultimate closure of the company, resulted in Bueche Girod watches becoming sought-after collector items.

A RARE AND MAGNIFICENT SAPPHIRE-SET CUFF, BY MARIO BUCCELLATI, CIRCA 1955 The wide cuff bangle with side hinge, composed of textured gold leaves accented by circular-cut sapphires set in silver, the central flowerhead set with a circular-cut sapphire pistil and petals, mounted in silver and 18K gold, signed M. Buccellati, with maker's case, inner circumference approximately 17cm, inner diameter 5.6cm, width 3.4cm The world-renowned Italian house of Buccellati is famous for its textural gold jewellery and exquisite silver objects. The pieces are bold and instantly recognisable, with a style that references the great goldsmiths of the Renaissance. The family firm was founded by Mario Buccellati (1891-1965). The young jeweller was inspired by the forgotten antique techniques of ancient Greece, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and he sought to revive them using traditional tools and methods. In 1919 he opened his first jewellery store in Milan, practising these ancient traditions. Buccellati pieces are noted for their rich textural qualities which are achieved through painstaking techniques. The signature rigato engraving effect is completed by a process using tiny hand-applied stripes to give gold surfaces the appearance of silk fabric. Other methods used include telato, obtained by fine cross-hatched lines, and modellato, the most delicate engraving technique, which consists of reproducing several designs chiselled in three dimensions on a minuscule scale, mainly used for the decoration of the borders. Furthermore, segrinato combines engraving in all directions to create a palimpsest of texture and ornato draws on the influence of nature, forming shapes inspired by animals, leaves and flowers. These techniques are used to create pieces which look and feel like silk, damask, tulle, lace, or linen. The juxtaposition of precious stones with texturized metals is distinctly unique and synonymous with the Buccellati house. Mario Buccellati's unique abilities for drawing and his creative mind led him to become one of Italy's most celebrated jewellers. The royal families of Europe, great cardinals of Rome and the Pope were amongst his clientele. Gabriele D'Annunzio, one of Italy's most famous poets and a personal friend of Buccellati, once referred to him as the 'Prince of Goldsmiths'. If the endorsement of his clients was not enough, Buccellati received international recognition when he exhibited at the 1920 Exposition in Madrid, selling his entire collection. The expansion of business internationally began in 1951 with New York. After the passing of Mario Buccellati in 1965, he was succeeded by his sons, among them Gianmaria, who took over the business. Gianmaria had apprenticed under his father at a young age, embracing the antique techniques treasured by him, designing every piece produced in the ateliers. In 1970, under Gianmaria and his brother Luca, Buccellati further expanded the business to Asia, establishing the first Italian Jewellers in Hong Kong. This was swiftly followed by subsequent stores in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya in the following years. Buccellati became the first Italian jewellers to launch a boutique in the renowned Place Vendôme of Paris in 1979. In accordance with tradition, Gianmaria, after his passing in 2015, was also succeeded by one of his children, his daughter Andrea, the current present and creative director of the Buccellati group. Over the century, the Buccellati group have widened their creations to silver objects, predominately unique, one-off pieces, marked with the typical characteristics of the house. Recently the group have expanded further, creating a line of luxury watches, both men and women's pieces, and a line of engagement rings.
A FINE GEM-SET AND DIAMOND BRACELET, BY FRED PARIS, CIRCA 1970 - 1980 Of articulated design, composed of four large openwork bombé links set with alternating sapphire, ruby and emerald cabochons highlighted with brilliant-cut diamonds throughout with textured gold detail, mounted in 18K gold, diamonds approximately 10.00cts, signed Fred Paris, with maker's mark 'AV' for André Vassort, French assay marks, with maker's case, length 17cm Fred Samuel (1908-2006) established his jewellery brand in 1936 in Paris, where he spent much of his professional life. Originally from Buenos Aires, born into a family that dealt in precious stones, it was no surprise he conceived a passion for cultured pearls and won recognition as a leading expert in the field. Fred imbued his designs with the energy of South America, saying his creations were inspired by the life, the light, the movement, the energy of the continent. This passion is expressed through the use of coloured gemstones and playful motifs. During World War II, Fred Samuel fled Paris and became an interpreter for the Allies. After the war, the brand changed its name to from Fred Samuel to 'Fred' due to anti-Jewish sentiment in post-war Germany. Describing himself in 1936 as a 'Contemporary Creative Jeweller', he proved this through his striking modern designs, with rounded, curvaceous lines. Fred became famous for jewels designed by Jean Cocteau and for its famous clients, such as Marlène Dietrich and the royal family of Monaco, including princess Grace. In 1966 Fred Paris was the inventor of cable jewellery 'Force 10' (made of stainless steel) and this feature is still very prominent today in ring, bracelet, pendant and necklace designs. As the brand grew, new stores were opened across the world; 1976 Monte Carlo, 1981 Cannes, 2001 Tokyo and 2007 Beijing, Dubai and Bogotá. The company became the property of LVMH in 1996 and Fred collaborated with Kate Moss for the design of an exclusive collection in 2012. Fred Paris designed the iconic 23 heart-shaped ruby necklace interlaced with diamonds, which was gifted to Julia Roberts by Richard Gere in the film Pretty Woman. The last major film for which Fred Paris provided jewellery was Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig, featuring the star collection pendant and earrings. This magnificent bracelet is a unique creation of Fred. n 1995 FRED joined the Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton LVMH group. In the secluded streets of Paris, shadowed by the celebrity of the great jewellery maisons of France, work the craftsmen whose talents satisfy the constant appetite for glamour. In December 1955, at 34 rue Sainte Anne, André Vassort registered his atelier and soon became one of the most sought-after jewellers in France. He was quickly employed by names such as Boucheron, Van Cleef and Arpels, Mauboussin and FRED. His work adorned their most discerning clients and he became a favourite in carrying out special commissions. Of particular note was the crown that he created under Van Cleef and Arpels for Empress Farah of Iran. Taking six months to complete, the magnificent piece is iridescent with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls, mounted in white gold and set against a backdrop of forest-green velvet. Vassort specialised in working with gold, drawn to the warmth and texture that could be coaxed from the metal, however, he did not shy away from other materials. His understanding of gemstones allowed him to create bold and colourful pieces, exemplified in this lot. Working anonymously for larger houses, a large portion of Vassort's work is unsigned, but, here, we are gifted with his maker's mark 'AV'. When André Vassort closed his workshop in the early 1990s, his name and work were revered within the jewellery industry and his pieces had become synonymous with enduring quality.
A RARE SAPPHIRE AND GOLD COMPACT, BY CHARLES HOLL, CIRCA 1945 The rectangular case composed of a geometric abstract pattern of tri-coloured gold stripes inspired by the ancient Japanese metalworking technique of mokume-gane, decorated with fancy-cut sapphires within gold zig-zag borders to each end, the thumbpiece set with a step-cut sapphire opening to reveal a mirror lid and glazed powder well compartment, in 18K gold, French assay marks, maker's mark for Charles Holl, numbered, width 7.4cm, length 4.9cm, depth 1.1cm, total gross weight: approx. 156.45g Mokume Gane is a 17th century term, originating in Japan, referring to the metalwork process which uses a mixed-metal laminate to create a design of layered patterns. Initially used in the decoration of samurai swords, the word Mokume Gane translates from Japanese as 'Wood Grain Metal' or 'Wood Eye Metal'. The aim of this process is to present the illusion of natural wood grain, referencing eyes, burls, swirls and layers. This distinctive pattern is created by fusing various metals into a 'billet', or stack of metals. The billets are then folded, forged and carved to create the natural grain-like appearance. Mokume Gane uses precious metals that are long lasting and incredibly durable. Traditionally, copper was used to achieve this look, being of particular importance to knifemakers and metalsmiths who work on a larger scale. On account of its more delicate nature, jewellers tend to place a greater emphasis on silver and gold when incorporating the method into their pieces.

A SAPPHIRE BRACELET, BY ILLARIO, CIRCA 1955 The supple and articulated bracelet composed of two rows of baguette-cut synthetic sapphires between borders of gold beading detail, mounted in 18K gold, maker's mark for Illario, French import mark, length 18cm Brothers Carlo, Vincenzo and Luigi Illario were a family of goldsmiths/jewellers from Valenza. They established a jewellery firm in 1920, with each brother taking on their own position. Carlo, who was trained in Paris, headed the production, Vincenzo was a stone setter who also selected the precious gems and Luigi was head of administration. The brothers worked under their own name, as well as for bigger firms, and were involved with several different jewellery companies. Some of the most renowned goldsmiths in Valenza practised in their workshop, guaranteeing that each product was crafted with exceptional quality. The company brand from 1935 had been 26AL and the business name was under Carlo Illario e Filli. Traditionally, ownership was handed down from father to son and, in 1953, even Luigi's sons, Giovanni and Vittorio, became a part of the family business. From the end of the 1900s, Vittorio and his sons, Pier Luigi and Edoardo, carried on as owners of the company with the 'Illario 1920' logo. In 1996, Giovanni Illario, along with his sons Carlo and Gian Luca, agreed with Vittorio and his sons to set up a new company that would allow them to be more active in the foreign market. This led to a split in Societa Carlo Illario and to the creation of the new Societa Carlo Luca della Quercia which pursues the traditions and spirit of the original company. Their skilled craftsmanship, reputation of excellence and use of innovative goldsmith techniques caught the attention of well-established retailers. Throughout the 20th century, Casa Illario created unique pieces of haute joaillerie for the most famous Italian maisons: Bvlgari, Cusi, Faraone, Fasano, Fecarotta, Settepassi, Ventrella and others. The company's partnership with Bvlgari was particularly long standing, running from the 1950s through until the 1970s. In this time, Illario made many pieces for Bvlgari, including the now iconic Serpenti watch bracelet. Elizabeth Taylor was a consistent patron, whose personal style and love of dramatic jewels found its home in Illario's creations. Alongside manufacturing for other brands, Illario produced a vibrant assortment of jewellery under their own name. They were known for their fine gemstones and unusual materials, such as polychrome enamel, tortoiseshell and mother of pearl. Striving to stand out, Illario used new techniques in its pieces, such as black rhodium plating to create a contrasted look. The quality of the craftsmanship is clear in all jewels that bear the Illario name, making them highly desirable.
