A 1973 Sterling Silver piece by esteemed jeweller Roy King, winner of two first prizes, a second and a third at the British Modern Jewellery Exhibition in 1961. The winning pieces are now in the permanent collection of Goldsmith’s Hall
Alongside the renowned Anglo-Italian jeweller Andrew Grima, King was a pioneer of the ‘Bark Effect’, a desirable finish that lead to the acquisition of his pieces by celebrities such as Tom Jones and George Harrison, with Pattie Boyd (Harrison’s then wife) wearing one of King’s wedding bands to their ceremony
The super clean white dial is decorated with bold black Roman numerals, black baton hands, a ‘chemin de fer’ minute track and King’s signature
The circular stepped bezel is reminiscent of the Cartier Vendôme and is in excellent condition
The case back features bold hallmarks while the winding crown is adorned with King’s crown logo
The brown pressed leather strap is in great condition, as is the slightly tarnished original Sterling Silver buckle
The Swiss made, manual wind Bueche-Girod movement runs smoothly and keeps excellent time
