A fine pair of rock crystal and 18ct gold cufflinks that were made in France circa 1910.  A reverse crystal intaglio is a rock crystal cabochon with an intaglio carved into the flat back. The intaglio was also painted realistically with oils so, that when viewed through the top, the image appears three-dimensional. Finally, the back was sealed in order to preserve the painted areas. The technique originated in Belgium c. 1860 and is attributed to an artist named Emile Marius Pradier. This technique was also practiced in England by Thomas Cook and his descendants who made crystals for Lambeth & Co. Production of a reverse crystal intaglio begins with the mining and cutting of fine rock crystal from Brazil or Madagascar. A well-formed cabochon is the key to a beautifully made reverse intaglio and the tedious process of hand polishing it to perfection had to be completed before the design work could begin. A watercolour of the image was painted on the underside of the cabochon and an oil and diamond dust mixture was used along with up to 250 scribing tools to carve the design into the interior of the crystal “…the deeper the carving the more pronounced trompe l’oeil effect.” Once the carving was established the painting process began with extremely fine brushes and paint working in reverse to create incredibly detailed images. The motifs most commonly found are sporting themes – horses, dogs, foxes and birds. This relatively secret process passed through family members, so keeping it exclusive and expectations of quality were very high. They remained in fashion until poorly made glass and plastic imitations flooded the market c. 1920s. These cufflinks were made circa 1900-1910  Cufflinks such as these are very collectable today. Ideal for collector of Hunting goods from PURDEY, HOLLAND&HOLLAND etc... Weight: 11 gr Pictures are the description, nothing else to add.

This chronograph Wakmann Gigandet ref 14 35 is dated 1972, it is fitted with a handsome panda dial and encases a Valjoux 7734 swiss manual caliber. Wakmann was acting as the exclusive Breitling distributor in USA and often selling Breitling and Wakmann versions of the same watch. The sister version of this chronograph was the Breitling ref 592, same watch except caseback, crown and dial marking... and price x 2 ! Gigandet was manufacturing watchcases for several swiss brands and also assemblying complete watches as a subcontractor for swiss watch companies. This chronograph has been serviced recently and all works perfectly including chrono start - stop and reset to zero. It is not new but very good overall condition, small traces of use on the 9h side, hardly noticeable on wrist. Will be fitted with a vintage new old stock brown crocograin strap (different from pic). As a vintage watch It is obviously considered as NOT WATERPROOF. No returns on vintage watches. English description is provided only for foreign buyers help but it is not my native language, the french description is the only available reference. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Vous achetez ce chronographe vintage Wakmann Gigandet de 1972 à l' élégant cadran panda, animé par un calibre à remontage manuel Valjoux 7734. Wakmann était l' importateur exclusif de Breitling aux USA dans les années 60-70, et vendait concurremment certains modèles identiques aux Breitling sous sa propre marque. Le modèle Breitling équivalent à ce chronographe est connu sous la référence 592 et son prix est 2 fois supérieur. Gigandet était une marque suisse peu connue qui fabriquait des boites de montres et assemblait pour Wakmann et d' autres des chronographes associant ou pas ces différentes marques, différenciés seulement par le fond de boîte et les marquages du cadran, du pont de chrono et de la couronne. Le mouvement révisé récemment fonctionne parfaitement avec des valeurs mesurées équivalentes à celles d' un mouvement neuf. Belle boîte de forme tonneau de 35 x 42 mm et ouverture de cadran de 32mm, épaisseur 12 mm, entrecornes 18mm, avec un beau travail de brossage de la face avant. Sera livré avec un bracelet neuf d' ancien stock brun foncé grain croco (ce n' est pas celui des photos qui était un peu trop sec). Petite usure à noter sur le côté de carrure opposé à la couronne, visible en photo mais pas au poignet. Très beau modèle si vous aimez les montres des années 60-70, ce chronographe est d' un dessin typique des 70's, il a été révisé et tout fonctionne comme il se doit. MONTRE NON ETANCHE compte tenu de sa construction et de son age. Envoi partout dans le monde, pas de retour sur fournitures horlogères et montres vintage. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ En savoir plus Collaboration commerciale.

Citizen Worldtimer (GMT) 68-0516  1973 All Original  Never relume - never polished Caliber 7450 JUST SERVICED 2X Citizen Original Crowns ungraved CTZ The feeling you get when you strap it on your wrist is like no other. The light is passing through the acrylic crystal and bouncing back from the silver dial, the inner rotating bezel with all those cities… The case is made of stainless steel, 42 mm diameter (rather large even for today’s standards), with a cushion shape. The frontal side is brushed, in a circular motion and the sides and the part where the bracelet connects to the case are polished. There is also a polished bezel that holds the domed acrylic crystal. The shape of the case protects the twin crowns (signed “CTZ”), one for winding the watch and one for rotating the inner city bezel. The SS caseback is screwed in, marked “parawater”. Parawater is a term used by Citizen to describe what later will become “water resistant”. The dial is silver with applied Citizen logo and hour markers. They have green luminescent material applied. There is luminescent material on the hands too, except for the seconds hand that is polished and the “GMT” hand that is short and painted red.  The 24 hours ring might be all black or half blue, half black (just as the 2014 released Rolex GMT – ceramic bezel – 40 years later). The movement is automatic with hand winding capability, hacking seconds calibre 7450, with 21 Jewels. Just as all the other Citizen movement this one is nothing fancy, just a simple working, reliable one. As time passes, you learn to  really appreciate the simplicity of Citizen movement, the sound of it, the movement of the hands…  The date is quickset and it beats at 21.600 bph. The year this one was introduced was 1971. The nice thing about this movement is that added to the three classic hands, there is a forth one (the red small one) that is circling the dial once every 24 hours. In order to operate the Worldtimer function you need to use the 24 hours hand and the inner bezel. You have to rotate the inner bezel until the timezone where you are in is opposite to the 24 hours hand. Then you have to look for the city you want to know the time in and read the time on the inner 24 hours ring, next to that city. A real traveller watch, so entertaining to operate, so simple and so clever, nice wrist presence and gorgeous!
