An Art Deco Multigem, platinum and 18K white gold brooch-watch by BOURDIER JEWELLER A GREAT HOUSE OF JEWELLERY, The BOURDIER House deserves all our attention, having produced jewels always recognized but not having sustained its notoriety. Even if Henri VEVER does not mention it, it was created in the 19th century by Théodule BOURDIER; let us point out a fact which is not insignificant, this one was the brother-in-law of the great Alfred CARTIER and was followed by his son Georges. The company always remained at the level of its great competitors in the rue de la Paix. Indeed, its last establishment was at 18 rue de la Paix, just opposite CARTIER, when it was taken over by the jeweller Paillette, who cleverly kept the name. This rare jewel that we present was one of the original productions of the clip porte-montre. There is a copy as large, in the form of windmill, waiting for it to reappear on the market Ref : Web site " Bijoux et Pierres précieuses " Jean-Jacques Richard, for a richly illustrated article.
