It was the start of an ambitious partnership and was soon joined by the American watch producer Hamilton, which had established a major stake in the Büren watch company. The prototypes were promising and the newly named Calibre 11 'Chronomatic' movement; a symbiosis between 'chronograph' and 'automatic' exceeded all expectations. Jack Heuer actually preferred 'automatic chronograph' so gave the name 'Chronomatic' to Breitling.On all Heuer watches 'Chronomatic' was soon replaced by the individual model name.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Alfred Boucher,1850 – 1934VolubilisHöhe: 58 cm.Breite: 39,5 cm.Tiefe: 19 cm.Links unten auf dem Boden signiert „A. Boucher“.Carrara-Marmor. Auf einem Felsen sitzende barbusige junge Frau mit in der Hand gehaltenen Calla-Blüten. Hinter ihr in den Marmorblock gearbeitetes Flachrelief, eine Baumlandschaft darstellend. Volubilis ist eine Serie von Skulpturen von Alfred Boucher, dem Freund von Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), die erstmals 1896 im Musée des Beaux-Arts de Troyes ausgestellt waren, wobei die Idee dieser Figuren über die nächsten Jahre weiter ausgearbeitet worden ist. In dieser Skulpturengruppe lässt Boucher den Kontrast wirken, der aus den zarten Formen junger Frauen im Kontrast zu dem schroffen Marmorblock wirkt, im Sinne des Pygmalion-Prozesses, in dem die Skulptur des Bildhauers lebendig wird.Literatur: Vgl.

REDOUTÉ PIERRE-JOSEPH: (1759-1840) Belgian Painter and Botanist, nicknamed the « Raphael of Flowers ». Redouté is best known for his watercolours of flowers at the Château de Malmaison and for his reputed botanical illustrations. A fine A.L.S., `Redouté´, two pages, 4to, n.p., 9th February 1810, to Monsieur Dubois, Painter, in French. Redouté defends his nephew´s position as painter at the Royal court, although recognizing his limited talent, and refers to Empress Joséphine trying to support his request, stating in a very eloquent way `D´après la volonté de Sa M[ajesté] l´Impératrice et de son intendant général, que mon neveux continuasse les travaux dans tout ce qui lui appartient j´ai cru que vous ne refuseriez point à les faire… il est bien naturel qu´étant attaché depuis si longtemps comme peintre de Sa M[ajesté] je désirasse procurer quelque avantage à mon neveux, qui n´ayant point un talent assez ascendant pour le procurer une existence avec sa famille…´ (`According to the will of Her M[ajesty] the Empress and his General Intendant, that my nephew continue the work in all that belongs to him, I believed that you would not refuse to do so... it is quite natural that being attached for so long as a painter to his M[ajesty] I wanted to procure some advantage for my nephew, who does not have a talent sufficiently ascendant to procure him wealth for his family…´) With address leaf, postmarked, bearing a black wax seal. Overall creasing and small area of paper loss to the address leaf. G Redouté was a court artist of Queen Marie Antoinette, and continued painting through the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. After Marie Antoinette, his patrons included both Napoleon´s wives, Joséphine and Marie Louise. Redouté is still today internationally regarded as the greatest botanical illustrator of all time for his most precise renderings of plants.

Footnotes:Provenance:Private French Collection;Weschler's Auctioneers, Rockville, Maryland, 20 February 2015, lot 213, (USD 76,000);Estate of Guy Martin, Jr., by inheritance from:Edith Kingdon Gould (1920-2004); Kingdon Gould, Sr. (1887-1945);George Jay Gould I (1864-1923).Related Literature:Peter Fuhring, Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier, Un génie du rococo 1695-1750, 1999, pp.175-179.J.Aronson, Encyclopedia of Furniture, 3rd Edition, 1965, p.220A. Pradère, Les ébénistes Français de Louis XIV à la Révolution, Paris, 1989, p.134, fig. 96.The horloge de parquet presented here belongs to a small group of at least two other related horloges de parquet called 'à la lyre' known at the present time. The most celebrated one being originally in the collection of the 18th century painter Charles-Antoine Coypel, who became premier peintre du roi after his father's death in 1722, and Director of the Académie Royale in 1747. In the sale following the death of Charles-Antoine Coypel in 1753, lot 579 was recorded as : 'Une pendule à secondes qui donne l'heure du temps vrai, la course du soleil, le jour et la date de la semaine, le mouvement est de Monsieur Claude Martinot et la caisse de Monsieur Meissonnier'. During that sale, it was purchased by the eminent French horologist Julien LeRoy, who then resold it a few years after. This horloge is presently conserved in the collection of the French group AXA, in the Hôtel de la Vaupalière in Paris. It is interesting to note that the case is described as being conceived by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750) who must have designed this horloge de parquet circa 1725-27. The complicated astronomical movement of the Coypel horloge de parquet is signed 'Claudius Martinot / invenit, et fecit.' and dated 1727. The second related horloge de parquet, stamped by François Duhamel was sold on 9 July 1931 at Christie's London. Very much similar in form, the Christie's horloge shares the same if not identical sea monster pierced stylised shell motif to the lower section as our horloge, as well as the lyre ormolu cords, but with a few other differences in the ormolu scheme, and without the bust depicting Louis XIV found on our horloge. Both ormolu groups to the top of the movement cases differ from each other, our horloge is headed by a group depicting Diana the huntress, while the Coypel's example is mounted with a group depicting 'Amour et Psyche' and the Christie's clock stamped by the ébéniste Duhamel (maître ébéniste in 1750) is headed by a group of cherubs playing. It is conceivable that Duhamel was fascinated by the earlier and very innovative Meissonnier's lyre-shaped design and decided to reproduce it a few decades after, since his maîtrise dates from 1750. Christie's 1931 horloge was most probably later on in the French & Co. collection, as illustrated in J.Aronson, Encyclopedia of Furniture, 3rd Edition, 1965, p.220. The horloge was subsequently sold at Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, 9 October 1971, lot 147. And most probably the same one sold again at Bonhams New York, 24 April 2013, lot 1143. The Duhamel stamp is equally present alongside that of Balthazar Lieutaud on a related régulateur conserved in the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. However, more Louis XV in treatment, another two almost identical models as the one in the Musée des Arts et Métiers are stamped respectively Jacques Dubois and attributed to Jacques Pierre Latz, showing the difficulties of attributions and of the paternity of the designs and makers. An 18th century engraving reproduced here (Bibliothèque de l'Ensba, 22620, f.43) depicts the model of our horloge de parquet, with only minor differences. Unfortunately, the border of this design is slightly cut out, therefore no inscription, signature nor engraver is visible. It is however plausible to assume that the engraving could be that of Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier, before 1727, as his name is mentioned in the sale description of the horloge sold from the Coypel sale. Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750), born in Turin, was a goldsmith, sculptor, painter, architect and most of all a furniture designer. He owes his extravagant decorative style to his italian origins and mastered the flamboyant style of rococo like no one else. Meissonnier worked his whole life in Paris where he became appointed by Louis XV as Dessinateur de la chambre et du cabinet du roi. His books of design: Livres d'ornements en trente pièces, and Ornements dela carte chronologique are conserved in the collection of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. The ormolu group of Diana the huntress which is on our horloge above the clock case appears to be a group often used by Charles Cressent (1685-1768) on other pieces of furniture he has executed, as on the pendule Crozat, and on various cartonniers attributed to him. Cressent was known to have designed and produced his own ormolu mounts for his furniture; this upset some of his fellow ébénistes as well as the corporation of the fondeurs-ciseleurs and for this reason, he had constant problems with the corporations and was sued various times.Known to excel in the manufacturing of longcase clocks, Cressent produced related cases to the horloge de parquet here presented, such as the Régulateur de parquet veneered in bois satiné, amaranth and parquetry, with its ormolu Chronos cresting in the English Royal Collection (RCIN30035), illustrated in A. Pradère, Les ébénistes Français de Louis XIV à la Révolution, Paris, 1989, p.134, fig. 96. The only present estampille on our horloge de parquet is that of E.J.Cuvellier. A rather unknown ébéniste whose stamp is found only on a few pieces of furniture, some of them being important. Not mentioned in 1953 on the Salverte book of Les ébénistes du XVIIIème siècle, Cuvellier has been more recently discovered to have worked d...

COMMODE D'ÉPOQUE LOUIS XV EN MARQUETERIE GÉOMETRIQUE DE BOIS DE ROSE, SATINÉ ET AMARANTE, ORNEMENTATION DE BRONZE CISELÉ ET DORÉ, ESTAMPILLE DE JACQUES DUBOISVers 1755A LOUIS XV ORMOLU-MOUNTED TULIPWOOD, BOIS SATINE, AMARANTH AND PARQUETRY COMMODE, JACQUES DUBOISCirca 1755Overall veneered with contrasting lozenge motifs, the shaped and moulded brèche d'Alep marble top, with two small drawers variously shaped above one long drawer, each with shaped reserves for foliate handles and cartouche shaped escutcheons, flanked by extensive pierced foliate chutes, the sides centred by a large stylized shell foliate mount, above splayed legs terminating in lion-headed foliate scrolling sabots, stamped 'I.DUBOIS' and 'JME'. 84cm (33in) high x 123cm (48 1/2in) wide x 58cm (22 3/4in) deep.Footnotes:Jacques Dubois, maître ébéniste in 1742.Jacques Dubois was born in 1694 from Marguerite Montigny and Louis Dubois. His half-brother, Noël Gérard, born before 1690 is the son of Marguerite Montigny' previous union with Nicolas Gérard. Noël Gérard quickly became one of the most important cabinetmakers and marchand-mercier in Paris, based in the Hôtel Jabach, rue neuve Saint-Merry. It was exactly in the workshop of his half-brother Noël Gérard that Jacques Dubois began his career in the 1720's, and logically became quite influenced by Gérard. Interestingly, Dubois did not receive his master's degree until much later in 1742, at the age of 48. After the disappearance of Noël Gérard in 1736, Jacques Dubois had to rely on other marchands-mercier to sell his furniture until he obtained his 'maîtrise'. In the 1740's Jacques Dubois is known to have excelled in his production of floral marquetry, inspired by the work of Bernard I Van Risenburgh and by that of Jean-Pierre Latz. In addition, Jacques Dubois often incorporated Chinese and Japanese lacquer into his repertoire, but always paid particular attention to the ormolu mounts which he retained an essential element. Our commode marks an evolution in Jacques Dubois's oeuvre, both its shape and the parquetry (marqueterie à cubes) are in harmony with the Transitional style and evoke the beginning of the goût Grec which will have a huge impact in the years to come. It is interesting to note that on the death of Jean-François Oeben in 1763, Jacques Dubois was commissioned by the heirs of Oeben as an expert to value the remaining content of Oeben's workshop. We find the same type of cube parquetry on certain pieces of furniture by Jean-François Oeben, with whom he probably collaborated. While this shaped parquetry commode is quite atypical in the oeuvre of Jacques Dubois, we can observe the interesting contrast between the finely presented ormolu mounts backed with by similarly shaped contrasting veneered cartouches, and the amusing arrangement of the drawers, where the top drawer is divided in one third-two third sections while the lower one is a single drawer, creating surprise. Assez atypique dans l'œuvre de Jacques Dubois, cette commode de forme galbée tient son intérêt dans l'harmonieuse présentation de son ornementation de bronzes ciselés et dorés placés sur des cartouches de forme identique contrastant le fond à motif géométrique, ceci est particulièrement visible sur les poignées feuillagées, les entrées de serrure et les riches bronzes feuillagés centrés de coquilles stylisées placés sur les côtés qui sont ainsi mis en valeur. De plus, l'arrangement des tiroirs est surprenant, en partie supérieure on trouve deux tiroirs divisés en un tiers et deux tiers, alors que celui inférieur est un long tiroir, l'avantage esthétique étant de ne pas briser la ligne, de jouer avec le ressaut présent et surtout de créer la surprise. Jacques Dubois naquit en 1694 de l'union entre Marguerite Montigny et Louis Dubois. Son demi-frère, Noël Gérard, né avant 1690 est le fils de la précédente union de Marguerite Montigny avec Nicolas Gérard. Noël Gérard deviendra rapidement un des ébénistes et marchand-merciers les plus importants de Paris, installé dans l'hôtel Jabach, rue neuve Saint-Merry. C'est dans l'atelier de son demi-frère Noël Gérard que Jacques Dubois a commencé sa carrière dans les années 1720, et il a été passablement influencé par Gérard. Dubois n'a reçu sa maîtrise que bien plus tard en 1742, à l'âge de 48 ans. Après la disparition de Noël Gérard en 1736, Jacques Dubois a dû s'appuyer sur d'autres marchands afin de commercialiser ses meubles jusqu'à l'obtention de sa maîtrise. Jacques Dubois est connu pour avoir entamé sa production de marqueterie à motif feuillagé en bois-de-boût dans les années 1740, en s'inspirant de l'œuvre de Bernard I Van Risenburgh ainsi que de Jean-Pierre Latz. Outre la marqueterie, Jacques Dubois a souvent incorporé la laque de Chine et du Japon dans son répertoire. Il a toujours attaché une attention particulière à l'ornementation en bronze doré, et à la présentation de celle-ci, souvent mise en valeur, comme dans ce cas. La commode ici présentée signe une évolution dans l'œuvre de l'ébéniste, sa forme ainsi que la marqueterie géométrique sont en harmonie avec le style Transition et évoquent déjà le début du goût Grec qui fera rapidement son apparition. Il est intéressant de noter qu'a la mort de Jean-François Oeben en 1763, Jacques Dubois a été mandaté par les héritiers de Oeben en tant qu'expert pour la succession. On retrouve le même type de marqueterie à cubes sur certains meubles de Jean-François Oeben, avec qui il a probablement collaboré. Jacques Dubois est mort la même année, en 1763. 約1755年 Jacques Dubois製路易十五時期鎏金銅飾鬱金香木、緞木及紫芯木幾何細木镶嵌抽屜櫃For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
