(No guarantee of functionality; servicing required). Alongside its jewellery creations, the Atelier Georges Lenfant also produced timepieces for both French and Swiss houses such as Hermès, Rolex, Piaget, Vacheron Constantin and Van Cleef & Arpels. Our watch illustrates the collaborations between watchmaking and jewellery houses in the mid-20th century, as well as the involvement of workshops with prestigious expertise, putting the originality of their designs and their technical skill at their service. Timepieces from the Atelier Georges Lenfant are rare on the market. Our watch stands out for its twisted links, so emblematic of this chain-maker.
