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
