Preparing the inaugural jewelry sale at the Breuer Building means questioning every established rule. As fifty-six masterworks arrive from an extraordinary private collects
ion, our specialists find themselves debating choices that usually go unquestioned: Should Belperron’s revolutionary forms stand apart from JAR’s sculptural intensity, or does a deeper story emerge when their work is allowed to collide?
Lake Como, the crown jewel of Italy’s freshwater basins, was first sculpted by icebergs many centuries ago, eventually evolving into a retreat for well-to-do denizens of ancient Rome. Yet the gradual passage of t.mes
did not erode the lake’s marvelous surroundings – rather, the years have only helped further shape it into something out of a dream. Today, millions of awe-struck visitors every year make the trek to this Y-shaped crystalline pool ensconced by the majestic foothills of the Italian Alps, soaking in the luxurious surroundings.
Hidden for decades, two extraordinary Patek Philippe watches from the Olmsted collects
ion have reemerged, each with twin movements, twin balances, and twin t.mes
displays that defy every rule of early 20th-century watchmaking. What began as a pair of minute repeaters has become a mystery that challenges even the most seasoned experts. Could they track solar and sidereal t.mes
… Or something else entirely?
A. Lange & Söhne is often spoken about with a quiet reverence, but the impact of its modern era is anything but subtle. From the 1999 Datograph to the groundbreaking Lumen series, the brand has repeatedly reset expectations for what technical watchmaking can be.

Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos is a masterclass in fear, folly, and the art of hidden truths. From witches taking flight to sinister figures preying on the vulnerable, Goya used his prints as a dark mirror of Spain’s moral decline. Each image is layered with symbolism, inviting viewers to question what is real and what is superstition. Even centuries later, the eerie power of his work lingers, challenging us to reflect on human behaviour and societal fears.
Audemars Piguet created only two ultra-complicated pocket watches in its entire history, and one of them has remained out of sight for decades. Now, at the 150-year mark of the manufacture’s legacy, this monumental piece returns to view with a movement so vast, so intricate, and so ambitious that even AP’s modern watchmakers still approach it with reverence. Featuring the night sky over London mapped with 315 stars, true sidereal t.mes
, a grand strike mechanism, and a perpetual calendar, the watch reaches a level of astronomical complexity rarely attempted in the 19th century.
The first selection from the Barry Yampol Library traces the evolution of scientific understanding from the dawn of printing to the rise of modern chemistry. As Selby Kiffer walks through the collects

These volumes reveal how thinkers tried to explain what the earth is made of, why volcanoes erupt, and how minerals form, marking the moments when speculation began to take shape as science.

Inspired by his father’s famous compositions, this scene is alive with everyday detail—villagers delivering taxes at an inn, traders arriving with carts and wagons, pilgrims wandering the snowy landscape, and children playing, skating, and throwing snowballs across the ice.
