While silk pastels might fade in and out of gentlemen’s fashion, pocket watches in solid 18k yellow gold with matching fobs do not.
The inscription on this 18th century hand-tinted plate reads:
“Le gallant a belle montre, cherchant le midi pour le rapporter, il est vetu dun rabit de velour cizele, Boutons en oeufs.” or “A gentleman with a beautiful watch, looking for lunch and lively conversation, is dressed in a rich velvet coat with egg buttons.”

His work is important, thought-provoking and a tribute to the Minimalist quality of Art Deco and Plakatstil.  Brilliant and mesmeric, “Trio” captures the grace of vintage horology and the face of Strickland Vintage Watches. Our heartfelt thanks to Grégoire Guillemin for creating the SVW series!
