Auction in association with François de Ricqlès Conseil.

With a discerning eye and a lifelong dedication to excellence, Michel Périnet and Françoise Cailles assembled a jewellery and watches collection of exceptional scope and quality. Spanning from Antiquity to the twentieth century, it encompasses ancient jewels, historic masterpieces and creations by some of the most celebrated names in jewellery history, including Wiese, Lalique, Cartier and Boivin. Driven by an unwavering pursuit of beauty, rarity and craftsmanship, they brought together works that exemplify the highest achievements of the jewelers' art. The collection also bears witness to Michel Périnet's visionary appreciation of contemporary horology, notably through a group of exceptionally rare timepieces by François-Paul Journe, acquired in support of the independent watchmaker at the very beginning of his career. Remarkable in both its depth and coherence, the collection reflects a refined and deeply informed approach to collecting, shaped by decades of curiosity, discernment and passion.
