18 Kt Solid Yellow Gold Lépine pocket watch Second Morte & Double Winding Barrel, Chronograph in Amazing Collectors Condition Function : Seconde Morte with Stop function which was used as chronograph seconds counter Movement : Mechanical Manual Winding with Double Barrel Winding !!!!!!!!!!! Dial : Enamel Case: 48 mm, thickness 11.5 mm Total weight: 97.2 gram / 3.430 oz / 62.5 dwt Jean-Antoine Lépine (alternatively spelled L’Pine, LePine, Lepine, L’Epine, born Jean-Antoine Depigny; 18 November 1720 – 31 May 1814) was a French watchmaker. He contributed inventions which are still used in watchmaking today and was amongst the finest French watchmakers, who were contemporary world leaders in the field.[1] Beginnings and appointment as clockmaker to the King Since his childhood the horologist showed an inclination towards mechanical, beginning his horological career and making fast progress, in particular, under the direction of Mr. Decroze, manufacturer of Saconnex watches,[2] in the suburbs of Geneva (Switzerland). He moved to Paris in 1744 when he was 24 years of age, serving as apprentice to André-Charles Caron (1698–1775), at that time clockmaker to Louis XV. In 1756 he married Caron's daughter and associated with him, under "Caron et Lépine", between 1756 and 1769.[3] Watches with a signature Caron et Lépine or equivalent are not known; apparently Lépine was independent to a certain extent. As early watches were not numbered, it is uncertain when Lépine began to sign watches with Lépine à Paris on the movement and partially L'Epine à Paris on the dial. On 12 March 1762, he became maître horloger (master horologist) and probably since that year he was teacher of Abraham-Louis Breguet, to whom he had a business relation over many years. In the Breguet archive many watches are recorded as delivered by Lépine. In 1765 or 1766 (precise date not known), he was appointed Horloger du Roi (Clockmaker to the King). In 1766 he succeeded Caron, and appeared on the list of Paris clockmakers of that year as Jean-Antoine Lépine, Hger du Roy, rue Saint Denis, Place Saint Eustache. Ten years later, in 1772, he established himself in the Place Dauphine; in 1778-1779, Quai de l’Horloge du Palais; then in the rue des Fossés Saint Germain l’Auxerrois near the Louvre in 1781; and finally at 12 Place des Victoires in 1789. In 1782, his daughter Pauline married one of his workmen, Claude-Pierre Raguet (1753–1810), with whom he formed a partnership in 1792. He was also associated for a certain period with the philosopher Voltaire, at his watch manufactory set up in 1770 at Ferney. It is not known the exact role he played in the Ferney Manufacture royale, either technical director and/or associate. However, most ebauches for his watches were made there, at least between 1778 and 1782. An unsigned memoir of 1784 reports that Lépine stayed in Ferney for 18 months and that he had watch movements made there with a value of 90,000 livres a year. As a clock and watchmaker to Louis XV, Louis XVI and Napoleon Bonaparte, Lépine's creations were well respected and in demand.[3] 1764/65: Invention of the revolutionary Lépine calibre Lepine Caliber IIA with Quarter Repeater Complication shared with Abraham Breguet Lepine Cuvette Lepine Caliber IIA with Quarter Repeater. Also made by Lepine for Breguet watches. Around 1764/65, he devised a means of manufacturing a pocket watch that could be thinner, favouring the onward quest for further miniaturization. His radical design broke with a 300-year tradition and ushered in the age of precision timekeeping, the modern pocket...

Nicole, A. Nielsen & Co London 18K Gold Double Hunter 53mm Pocket Watch
Located in MELBOURNE, AU
This important centre second Flyback Chronograph Pocket Watch by Nicole, Nielsen & Co dates back to circa 1864, retailed by Mac Donnell & Co, Sydney (signed to the dial) It is in a great vintage condition & in excellent working order & an ultimate collector’s item - used to belong to William (Bill) Bradshaw. Invented & patented by A. Nielsen, a flyback chronograph is a type of watch that enables the chronograph function to be reset and restarted instantly with a single button press. Unlike a standard chronograph, which requires three separate steps—stopping, resetting, and starting— the flyback mechanism combines all three into one seamless action. Designed as a Double Hunter, (can be opened from both sides allowing the timepiece to stand as a desk clock) the piece is centring a white porcelain regulator format dial, featuring original hands, subsidiary seconds at 9 o'clock, hour indication subsidiary dial at 3 o'clock, minutes and the chronograph indications are on the outer radial dial which features 5-minute makers. Measuring 53mm, 18K Yellow Gold Case, with single pusher chronograph and patent Nicole Nielsen setting, has both lids numbered 7602 (same number is on a movement), bearing 18K gold stamp & English (London) hallmarks: crown, leopard head, letter date (1864) & sponsor’s mark “A.N.” – Adolphe Nielsen – who was an inventor of flyback mechanism. His initials AN are in cameo within a rectangular surround. Powered by Manual Movement, engraved “Nielsen Capt 14 Soho Square, London” and numbered 7602 (meaning the movement was designed for this particular pocket watch) Total item’s weight: 170gr. The piece comes in generic box, accompanied by watch report & 6 months warranty Nicole, Nielsen & Co. was founded in 1839 by Swiss-born watchmakers Charles Victor Adolphe Nicole and Jules Philippe Capt. By 1858, the company had moved to larger premises at 14 Soho Square, where it remained until its closure in 1934. Nicole & Capt produced movements and watches for renowned names such as E. J. Dent, Charles Frodsham, and others. From around 1870 and for the next 60 years, Nicole Nielsen was known for crafting some of the finest and most complex English watches ever made.
