(Detachment of the quartz plate and some chips) About VERGER FRERES : The history of this prestigious jeweler-watchmaker began in 1880 when Vacheron-Constantin appointed Ferdinand Verger to head their Paris branch. In 1920, he entrusted the management of the workshop to his two sons, Georges and Henri. This was the beginning of the prestigious history of Verger Frères. Their hallmark is registered in 1921. The 1920s were the golden age of the workshop, which employed more than two hundred people and produced some of the most extraordinary jewellery, objects, clocks and watches of the decade, both aesthetically and technically. For example, the twenty-two exceptional clocks presented by Lacloche Frères at the 1925 Exhibition were all made by Verger Frères. The great names of French jewellery (Cartier, Boucheron, Chaumet, Van Cleef & Arpels, Hermès, Ostertag, Lacloche) and American jewellery (Black Starr & Frost, Marcus & Co, Trabert & Hoeffer and Tiffany) called on them. Verger Frères continued to produce remarkable pieces until the 11950s. The company was absorbed by the Lenfant workshop in 1980, itself bought by the Bouder workshop in 1998, which has since registered the Verger Frères jewellery brand.
