Embodying pride and the avant-garde spirit of its time, this iconic Boucheron "Fan" model watch from the 1950s is a masterpiece of innovation and extravagance.

As part of a distinguished "family" of fan watches, it stands not just as atimepiece but as a symbol of fashion-forward thinking, likely to be highlighted in prestigious retrospectives on retro jewellery. Its presence on the wrist is a statement of elegance, a connection to a bold era where Boucheron led with designs that wereboth extravagant and challengingly modern.

- Sobre artista
Boucheron é uma joalheria francesa fundada em 1858 por Frédéric Boucheron. O joalheiro trabalhou com uma grande variedade de ouro, bem como pedras preciosas como rubis e peridotos. Suas joias foram inspiradas em motivos da natureza como a cobra, posteriormente escolhida para ser o símbolo da casa. A primeira boutique Boucheron foi fundada em 1858 na Galerie de Valois no Palais Royal em Paris. Nos anos seguintes, Frédéric Boucheron abriu um ateliê e começou a trabalhar com seu sobrinho, Georges Radius. O jogo de formas, as manipulações do material e as combinações de gemas encontraram seu público no final do século XIX. Boucheron agora estava atraindo uma clientela de escritores, artistas e príncipes. Quando Fédéric Boucheron morreu em 1902, seu filho, Louis, assumiu o controle da casa. Como herdeiro, ele contribuiu para o desenvolvimento da marca, chegando mais longe do que apenas a França. Ele abriu uma filial em Moscou e também estabeleceu uma colaboração com o jovem joalheiro Pierre Sterlé. Em 1954, seus filhos, Fred e Gérard Boucheron, foram os próximos a assumir o controle da marca. Mantendo a experiência herdada, eles estabeleceram a marca no Japão durante os anos 1970, período durante o qual Jane Birkin posou segurando um colar de diamantes Boucheron. Alain Boucheron tornou-se chefe da empresa em 1971 e, em 2000, o grupo Gucci adquiriu a joalheria Boucheron. Sob a direção de Jean-Christophe Bedos, novas butiques foram inauguradas em todo o mundo. Em 2007, Boucheron foi a primeira joalheria a abrir uma loja de comércio eletrônico na Europa. Em 2011, Claire Choisne foi nomeada diretora criativa da joalheria da Place Vendôme. Depois de um século e meio, a joalheria Boucheron se tornou uma importante referência em joalheria fina e relógios.
