Rare 18ct Ruby and Diamond Pocket Watch with Elaborate Mountings and Jewels
Located in London, GB
While the origin of this particularly unique piece remains a mystery, the brilliance and fine craftsmanship are without question. This small 18ct jewellery pocket watch houses elaborate, decorative silver mounting and bezels. There are 6 rubies at the front and 6 old European cut diamonds at the back. The outside of this one-of-a-kind piece is adorned with blue enamel and a colourful floral decoration ringed with gold-plated leaf. The interior uses a gold-plated dial of roman numerals to tell time with excellent balance and a total weight of 36 g. Our experts date this piece to the early 1970s.
The tradition of carrying around a pocket watch has been popular since at least the 14th century. It has continued well into our current era as a mark of a true gentleman. It wasn’t until after World War I that wristwatches came into fashion. Each watch has a unique design and style that speak to the craft house that produced the timepiece.
There are two pocket watch styles in wide use: open-face and hinged. This piece is hinged with a protective shell equally adorned with the interior face. This piece is meant for more formal attire and most likely would not be worn on a daily occasion due to the exquisite jewellery contents.

Hans Richter 1971 Sculptural Dadaism Geometric Pendant Brooch in 18t Yellow Gold
By Hans Richter
Located in Miami, FL
Geometric pendant brooch designed by Hans Richter (1888-1976).
Very rare piece of wearable Dadaism art, created by the artist sculptor Hans Richter, back in the 1971. This piece is part of a limited edition of only 9 sculptures, carefully crafted with geometric squared and curved patterns in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with very high polished finish. Fitted at the reverse with a hinged pin bar to wear as a brooch and a curved bale to wear in a chain or necklace.
Weight: 66.6 Grams, (40.77 Dwt).
Measurements: 55 mm by 55 mm x 10 mm (2.16 x 2.16 x 0.39 Inches).
Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the edition number, the editorial house and signed in script by artist., "HANS RICHTER 1/9 1971 .750 GM 18KT HR-1"
Hans Richter (1888-1976) was a German Dada painter, graphic artist, avant-garde film producer, and art historian. In 1965 he authored the book Dadaism about the history of the Dada movement. He was born in Berlin into a well-to-do family and died in Minusio, near Locarno, Switzerland. From Expressionism through Dadaism, Constructivism and Neoplasticism, he was one of the major figures of avant-garde art in the 1910s and 1920s and a catalyst for intellectuals and artists in many disciplines. Richter helped organise exhibitions which revived interest in Dada, both in the United States and Europe. In 1956 he made Dadascope, a film dedicated to Dada poetry.
Richter moved from Switzerland to the United States in 1940 and became an American citizen. Beginning in 1941 he taught at the Institute of Film Techniques at the City College of New York before taking over as director. While living in New York City, Richter directed two feature films, Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947) and 8 x 8: A Chess Sonata in 8 Movements (1957) in collaboration with Max Ernst, Jean Cocteau, Paul Bowles, Fernand Léger, Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp, and others, which was partially filmed on the lawn of his summer house in Southbury, Connecticut. In 1957, he finished a film entitled Dadascope with original poems and prose spoken by their creators: Hans Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Raoul Hausmann, Richard Huelsenbeck, and Kurt Schwitters. After 1958, Richter spent parts of the year in Ascona and Connecticut and returned to painting. Peggy Guggenheim organized his first solo show in the United States in which his large painted scrolls, inspired by the Second World War, featured prominently. In 1963, he directed the short film From the Circus to the Moon about the American artist Alexander Calder. In 1965, Richter was also the author of a first-hand account of the Dada movement titled Dada: Art and Anti-Art which also included his reflections on the emerging Neo-Dada artworks.
Note: Dadaism is a cultural and artistic movement created in order to counteract the arts, which emerged in 1916 at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. It was proposed by Hugo Ball...
