The Audemars Frères Genève 14 ct gold pocket watch is a refined example of high-end Swiss watchmaking, characterized by an elegant design and craftsmanship of the highest level.
The case, made of 14 ct gold, has a diameter of 52 mm and a thickness of 8.5 mm, with a rounded shape and chamfered sector edges that recall the Art Deco style.
The total weight is 73.4 grams, a sign of the quality of the materials used.
The movement is mechanical, hand-wound, a distinctive feature of valuable watches produced during that period, synonymous with precision and artisanal excellence. The watch is in excellent condition, with a magnificent two-tone silver dial, blued steel hands, and Arabic numeral indices.
Audemars Frères was a prestigious Swiss watch manufacturer, founded by the brothers Charles-Henri Audemars and Hector Audemars. The company operated until around 1910, leaving an important legacy in the art of watchmaking. Its origin is linked to the famous Louis Audemars manufacture, founded in 1811, from which it emerged as one of three subsequent companies after the bankruptcy of the parent company.
This watch is a piece of great historical and collectible interest, an expression of Swiss elegance and watchmaking mastery of the early 20th century. While belonging to the Audemars family tradition, it should not be confused with Audemars Piguet, another famous maison founded in 1875 by Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet, which remains one of the most prestigious brands in high-end watchmaking today.
Watches signed Audemars Frères, Brassus & Genève are distinguished by their excellent craftsmanship, often characterized by complicated movements and elegant decorations. The reference to Brassus and Geneva in the brand underlines the connection with both cities: Le Brassus, famous for its watchmaking tradition, and Geneva, a center of luxury and commerce at the time.
