拍品專文

Pascal Coyon, a watch and clock repairer based in Bayonne, in the southwest of France, is part of a new wave of independent artisanal watchmakers dedicated to creating exquisitely crafted, classically inspired timepieces. In 2012, he set out to develop his own chronometer wristwatch, and after a year and a half of meticulous work, he unveiled his first prototype.

His vision was to offer a wristwatch with an extraordinary level of finishing while remaining relatively affordable. To achieve this, he used the renowned Unitas 6498 as a base movement. However, the modifications were so extensive that the movement became virtually unrecognizable. The attention to detail is evident in the elegantly curved bridges, highly polished angles, a distinctive comma-shaped regulator index for precise micro-metric adjustments, and the refined sandblasted finish applied across the movement.

Coyon produced a total of 60 movements, divided equally into three finishes: silver, pink, and yellow - the latter being the finish of this particular example. The watches were paired with white lacquer dials, available either with or without a red twelve, a subtle nod to classic design elements.

A closer examination of the movement reveals a viper’s head stamp at the base of the balance cock, signifying that the watch successfully passed the stringent Besançon Observatory chronometer trials—further testament to Coyon’s dedication to precision and craftsmanship.

The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold "as is," in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Christie's or by the seller.
Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different in print or on screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason they are not an alternative to examining a lot in person or taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
