Yver à Angouleme/Abraham Yver (Hyver or Yuer, 1620–1680) was the head of one of the most influential watchmaking families in northern France. In the ‘Memoire sur la Généralité de Limoges’, published in 1698, one can read that the Yver family from Angoulême enjoyed the highest esteem among the kings and in the towns of Saintes, Blois, Poitiers and other towns. All members of the family were Protestants and there were connections to watchmakers in Blois. As a Huguenot family, the Yver watchmakers, who originated from France, were forced to flee to Amsterdam at the end of the 17th century. Tardy’s records state that Yver’s “watches enjoyed a good reputation throughout the Kingdom of France”. In our 255th auction, we sold a gold watch with alarm and self-striking mechanism by Yver for a record price of €68,000. This watch, too, featured the rare, identical movement construction with iron retaining rings. Hammerprice: 4.800 €
