OLIVIER de PERCIN: Gaëtan de Percin was a representative for Atelier Georges Lenfant (1904-1996); in 1938, he created his own Atelier and Poinçon de Maître to directly serve Robert Dumas, at Hermès, making the first cult bracelets with silver "anchor" links. His Atelier was the first and only one to work silver for Haute Bijouterie-Joaillerie within the major French luxury goods houses. Olivier, his son, began his collaboration in 1962. He canvassed retail jewelers. Their talent and recognized renown have taken them to the top of iconic creations and fabrications for most of the Grandes Maisons of the 20th century, including Asprey, Artus Bertrand, Boivin, Boucheron, Cartier, Céline, Chanel, Chaumet, Dior, Fred, Hermès, Lacloche, Morabito, Alexandre Reza, Tiffany, Vacheron Constantin and Van Clef & Arpels.
