At the age of thirteen, Jacques-Gustave began an apprenticeship with the famous watchmaker Perusset. Gustave Sandoz then worked in the workshops of Lépine (taken over by Boulay in 1853), Paul Garnier and Breguet before setting up his own business in the rue de la Monnaie. In 1865, Sandoz moved to the prestigious Palais Royal 147-148, very close to the Boucheron and later Lalique companies. Sandoz was very successful and became one of the best Parisian watchmakers of his time and watchmaker of the French Navy, Horloger de la Marine. In 1855 he won the "Grand prix d'honneur de l'Association polytechnique", founded by Napoleon III. In 1889 he was one of the co-founders of SEAI (Société d'Encouragement aux Arts et à l'Industrie), later renamed SEMA (Société d'Encouragement aux Métiers d'Art). Hammerprice: 1.000 €

The Moscow company "Lorie" was founded by the jewellery and silverware manufacturer Fedor Anatolyevich Lorie (1858-1920) in 1871. In 1895 he opened a shop selling jewellery at Kuznetsky Bridge 4 (connected by the wall with Faberge's shop). In 1912 the company entered into a partnership with the employees of the Moscow branch of C. Faberge - Alexei Fedorovich Lemkul (in the 1900s head of the gold department) and Julio Guarneri, who worked with the sons Eugene and Alexander of C. Faberge in Paris. Perhaps F.A. Lorie carried out orders for C. Faberge, who controlled the production, marketing and assortment of the partnership. The company produced silverware, household goods and furnishings, a variety of frames for crystal and jewellery. For the jewellery they used enamel, which complemented the precious and decorative stones. In terms of style the products made by the company were characterized by a great variety - from the design of ornaments of Western European and Russian art of the 17th to 19th centuries to modern and neo-Russian styles (source: https://www.cortrie.de/go/dmN). now only: 2.000 €

Sold 188-4089 Pocket watch: very fine unique enamel watch in the style of the painting of Blois of the 17th century. Koehn Geneve No.72362, almost identical with the Patek Philippe enamel watch No.76344 from 1887 Ca. Ø27.5mm, ca. 24g, 18K gold, No.72362, case maker's mark AE, special case without hinges, completely enamelled, finest enamel painting in the Watteau style, representation of a pair of lovers under a tree, mountain scenery in the background, completely removable movement, gold crown and bow, silver movement holder numbered 72362, glazed movement, fine lever movement, matching number to the case, original Louis XV enamel dial in excellent condition and pink gold Louis XV gold hands. The watch is in working order and in excellent condition, completely original and unrestored. It is an absolute rarity. The similarity to the Patek Philippe watches 84141 (shown in Huber & Banbery "Patek Philippe" page. 126, pic. 52C) and 76344 (https://www.cortrie.de/go/6vr) sold in one of our past auctions for 18,500€ is obvious. The unusual construction of the cases, the dials and the painting is very similar to all 3 watches. All watches have numbers close together. All movements have silver movement holders and can be completely removed from the case and are not hinged. It can be strongly assumed, that the same case maker made the two special Patek Philippe watches and the Koehn watch shown here. The fact that Eduard Koehn was director at Patek Philippe at the time of the production of these 3 watches also speaks for this. Eduard Koehn (1839-1908) went from a simple watchmaker to director at Patek Philippe. He was born in Germany and studied at the watchmaking school in Geneva. He started as a simple watchmaker with Patek Philippe and later became a partner. In 1891 Eduard Koehn bought the company H.R. Ekegren. The quality awareness he got during his many years at Patek Philippe was later reflected in his own products, which he designed and manufactured. Hammerprice: 2.000 €
