Sold 267-4202 Pocket watch: very well preserved pocket chronometer by Vacheron & Constantin, ca. 1905 Ca. Ø49mm, approx. 78g, 18k gold, engine turned, case number 187157, movement number 310304, dome marked "Demi-Chronometre", exquisite, signed Ankerchronometer movement, fine adjusting device, wolf's toothing, moustache lever, perfectly preserved original enamel dial, gold hands, in excellent condition, in working order. The description "Demi-Chronomètre" was used by Vacheron Constantin to indicate that the movement was sent to the observatory for chronometric control, but for commercial reasons did not stay long enough to complete the entire test procedure. To our knowledge, only two Geneva companies used the designation "Demi-Chronomètre": Vacheron Constantin and Henry Capt (source:https://www.cortrie.de/go/B3R). Hammerprice: 2.300 € plus charge
Sold 267-4297 Wristwatch: important gentleman's watch by Vacheron & Constantin, platinum/diamonds, Geneva 1916 with extract Ca. 38 × 21 mm, domed platinum case, chased on the sides, set with 94 brilliant-cut diamonds and 12 cut onyx stones on the front, crown with large diamond, serial number 230231, manual winding with 18 jewels, silvered dial, steel hands, original textile strap with 18K white gold buckle, excellent condition with signed original box and V & C certificate of authenticity from 2024, movement starts but needs servicing (spring tension). This watch is sensationally rare. Almost all watches of this type were made for ladies and significantly smaller, and the ladies' watches are also coveted collector's items today (https://www.cortrie.de/go/w1B). Hardly any men's watches of this type are known to exist! The watch is presumably a unique piece, illustrated in the Vacheron & Constantin sales catalogue of 1916 as no. 1247 with identical serial no. 230231. Hammerprice: 28.000 € plus charge
267-4305 Pocket watch: experimental Vacheron & Constantin deck chronometer "Especially Good", Geneva 1919 Ca. Ø 64 mm, approx. 190 g, silver contest case with glazed movement, extremely unusual chronometer calibre with 21 jewels and experimental construction for the power reserve, chronometer balance, lever movement, fine adjusting device, signed, serial no. 379509, silvered dial with power reserve indicator, blued steel hands, in very good condition, in working order. This watch was part of the 1919 Geneva Observatory Chronometer Competition in the "Chronomètres 1re Classe Mention Honorable" class and received a score of 711 points, placing 29th out of 81 chronometers. The chronometer was also submitted to the 1919/1920 chronometer competition organised by the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, and was awarded the title "especially good" in the "Kew - Class A" category, scoring a sensational 92.8 points. The chronometer has a special, probably experimental mechanism for the power reserve indicator, which is also signed. We know of no other V&C pocket chronometer with this construction. Vacheron & Constantin, like Patek Philippe, produced these extremely rare chronometer movements primarily for chronometer competitions at various observatories. As a rule, these items were not intended for sale and therefore did not have a standard case design. They often remained in the possession of the manufacturer for decades before eventually coming into circulation. Today, these watches are extremely rare and sought-after collector's items. now only: 8.500 € plus charge
