Schlegel & Plana was a Swiss watchmaking brand established in 1963 through the collaboration between watchmaker Simon Schlegel and Spanish jeweler Augustin Julia-Plana. The partnership aimed to create exclusive timepieces that combined traditional Swiss watchmaking precision with innovative jewelry design. Julia-Plana was renowned for incorporating unconventional materials into his creations, such as wood, ivory, coral, and oxidized or rusted iron, emphasizing the intrinsic beauty of the materials over their market value.
Schlegel & Plana timepieces are rightly considered unique and are sought after by collectors, who rarely see examples come to market. Excitingly, the current watch, coming from its original owner is accompanied by a matching Augustin Julia-Plana ring, also crafted in 18k gold.
