So-called ‘barillet-type’ musical watches are exceptionally rare and differ completely from the usual musical watches of that period. The musical movement is designed entirely differently, as it is a high-quality barrel movement which, due to its thickness, was unsuitable for pocket watches and was predominantly used in enamelled boxes. Only a few pocket watches with such a musical movement are known to exist and are highly sought-after collector’s items (https://www.cortrie.de/go/wVY). 7.000 € - 20.000 €

So-called ‘barillet-type’ musical clocks are exceptionally rare and differ completely from the usual musical clocks of that period. The musical mechanism is designed entirely differently, as it is a high-quality barrel mechanism which, due to its thickness, was unsuitable for pocket watches and was predominantly used in enamelled boxes. Only a few pocket watches with such a musical mechanism are known to exist and are highly sought-after collector’s items (https://www.cortrie.de/go/wVY). 8.000 € - 25.000 €

292-4271 Pocket watch: gold Jacquemart figure automaton with rare movement/case, Lepine?, ca. 1820 Ca. 55 mm in diameter, ca. 102 g, Case of exceptional quality, Breguet-style, recessed, screw-fixed centre section, 18K pink gold, very rare, distinctive calibre with cylinder escapement, quarter-hour repeater and figure automaton, enamelled dial, Breguet steel hands, movement intact, striking mechanism requires adjustment. The quality of the case and movement differs significantly from the ‘typical’ Jacquemarts of this period and suggests the work of one of the great watchmakers of the time, possibly Le Roy or Lepine. 6.000 € - 10.000 €

292-4272 Pocket watch: significant, large musical watch with ‘Lépine calibre’, circa 1820 Ca. Ø61mm, ca. 158g, 18K gold, exquisite engraving on the reverse, signed C&LL, Lepine calibre with visible striking mechanism, quarter-hour repeater and musical movement, enamel dial, Breguet hands, in working order and very well preserved. 7.500 € - 15.000 €

Jacquemart figure automata with visible bells are among the most expensive variants of figure automata. A distinctive feature of this example is its exceptionally rare size of ca. 65 mm! We are not aware of any other example in this size. Another, equally large example was offered in Geneva in 2019 with an estimated price of 39,000–49,000 Swiss francs (https://www.cortrie.de/go/KoP). 13.000 € - 40.000 €

292-4274 Wristwatch: high-quality IWC Da Vinci chronograph, perpetual calendar/moon phase, full set Ca. Ø39mm, extremely substantial 18K gold case, automatic movement, white dial, leather strap as good as new with gold IWC buckle, very good condition with box and all papers from 2005. 5.000 € - 10.000 €
