A stylish Sterling Silver vermeil Bueche Girod c.1990
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
The flawless white dial is decorated with black Roman numerals that are complimented by black sword hands
The gold plated Sterling Silver case remains in marvellous condition with minimal signs of wear. The striated ‘articulated’ or ‘hinged’ lugs swing smoothly and allow for a comfortable fit no matter the wrist
Both the inside and outside of the brushed case back boast bold hallmarks for Sterling Silver
The original mineral crystal glass is clear and unmarked
Time is set with the original cabochon onyx set crown
The original Bueche Girod black pressed leather strap remains in great shape, as does the original Sterling Silver buckle stamped 925
The Swiss quartz movement has just been cleaned and the battery replaced. It runs smoothly and keeps good time
