A wonderfully 70s solid 9ct gold Bueche-Girod x Roy King men’s wristwatch
Vital Bueche founded Bueche-Girod in Bienne in 1947. The company garnered such respect from the 1950s through the 70s that brands such as Cartier, Bulova and Universal Geneve used their cases and movements in many of their pieces
Frank Sinatra was known to have worn a Bueche-Girod whilst not a small portion of Scorsese’s budget for his movie ‘Casino’ was spent on Robert De Niro’s tri-colour piece
As well as using the brand’s movement in his own line of Sterling Silver watches during the 1970s, award winning British jeweller Roy King collaborated with Bueche on many occasions. This stunning piece is a result of their partnership
The gilt bark effect dial features applied baton indices and matching tone sword hands
The 9 carat gold brick work/ bark effect integrated bracelet remains in superb condition without signs of wear or stretching while the underside of the twin setting clasp bears Roy King’s hallmark alongside assay marks for London 1974. The inside of the case back bears the same marks
Powered by a Swiss made, Bueche-Girod, 17 jewel manual wind movement, the watch runs smoothly and keeps excellent time
The only true signs of use are two marks to the case-back and wear to the original plated winding crown
