Object description

Identity and Collaboration Context

This gentleman's wristwatch is cataloged under reference GPUR 11300, bearing the brand designation Felix Baumgartner for goldpfeil, swiss, and dated circa 2002. The auction description notes that beginning in 2001, Gold Pfeil launched luxury timepieces created in collaboration with seven independent Swiss watchmakers who were members of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI): Antoine Preziuso, Bernhard Lederer, Felix Baumgartner, Frank Jutzi, Svend Andersen, Vianney Halter, and Vincent Calabrese.

The auctioneer reports that all watches in this series were produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces, though an individual edition number is not stated in the source record. The piece is cataloged with signatures on the case, dial, and movement.
