The present watch can be best described as a unicorn, a watch unlike any we’ve encountered before. Made in 1965, its spectacular, asymmetric case, dial, and even its buckle were designed and executed by a French goldsmith. Made during a daring era of Swiss watchmaking, when in the 1960s and 70s, brands collaborated with famous designers and artists to break away from their traditional designs. It’s an era that spawned the famous asymmetrical models designed by Gilbert Albert for Patek Philippe, the outlandish Manchettes watches by Piaget, and the asymmetrical line of watches designed by George Mazon for Longines. Full of creativity, they were designs far ahead of their time, and they found little commercial success. Very few were produced as a result, making them quite rare. We understand that the present is one of four unique design made by a French goldsmith on special request. The group of 4 watches was auctioned at Habsburg, Feldman in Geneva on October 11, 1987. The present lot, with its sculpted boomerang shape is ultra futuristic, and brings to mind space travel – even bearing resemblance to the Star Trek and Avengers logos. An intriguing and fascinating watch, it is the perfect addition to a collection of exclusive unusual shaped watches.
