that is the belief of art dealer and valuer Peter van Os.
The true art collector in you may well recognize himself in this statement by Peter van Os:
'I am only interested in art that really touches me. When I look at a work, it should bring me a sense of excitement, cause an increase in my heart rate! With the contemporary artists I represent, it is essential for me to have a deeper relationship, where we know and feel each other personally. Because of the bond we have, I appreciate and understand the extra dimension in their works. Hence my statement that the relationship between the artist and their work must be right and therefore inseparable. That is also directly my criterion for representing, curating and exhibiting a collection.'

International network

Art collectors offer their works for sale in order to be able to further expand and purchase their collection in a certain direction. Peter has excellent insight into the movement in art collections and the current market value.
even when there is an inheritance, Peter van Os' international network can be called upon to sell a work
This is the conviction of art dealer and expert Peter van Os.
"Artists and their works of art are inseparable.
The true art collector in you may recognize himself in this statement by Peter van Os:
I am only interested in art that really moves me. When I look at a piece of art, it has to make me feel excited, it has to make my heart beat faster! With the contemporary artists I represent, it is essential for me to have a deeper relationship, where we know each other and feel personal. Through this connection, I appreciate and understand the extra dimension of their work. Hence my assertion that the relationship between the artist and his work must be right and therefore inseparable.

ABOUT THE OBJECT
Watch
The movement is a one-month lever escapement. The plates are linked by five pillars. The saw-tooth striking mechanism strikes the full hours on the large bell and the half-hours on the small bell.
Dial
The dial, with its gold-plated center and engraved silver bezel, indicates the hours in Roman numerals and the minutes in Arabic numerals. The chapter ring is flanked at the corners by openworked ormolu corner pieces. Below the XII is a second ring and, in the center, an alarm disc. Above the VI is the date. The signature is engraved between V and VII: Fromanteel & Clarke.
Cabinet
The oak cabinet is entirely veneered in walnut and rests on four flattened ball feet topped by a concave plinth that supports the straight-base cabinet. Above the pendulum cabinet is a straight door with a central oval window for the pendulum. The dial is flanked on either side by columns, giving the impression that the frieze above the dial is supported only by the columns. The frieze is topped by a cap decorated with three turned gilded wood knobs.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ahasuerus Fromanteel (1607-1693) was the first of a family of Anglo-Dutch watchmakers. He settled in London in 1625.
His marriage to Maria de Bruijne in 1631 produced three sons, all of whom went on to become eminent watchmakers. In 1680, they moved to Vijgendam in Amsterdam.
With offices in London, Amsterdam and Newcastle, the Fromanteel family was the first multinational in the watchmaking industry. In the 1980s, the three Fromanteel brothers, Johannes, Ahasuerus II and Abraham, decided to use a common signature, namely Fromanteel, without initials or place of residence.
A special collaboration
In 1694, Christopher Clarke (1668-c. 1730) married the only daughter of Ahasuerus II, Anna. After 1696, Ahasuerus II went into partnership with his son-in-law Christopher Clarke under the name Fromanteel & Clarke.
After Ahasuerus II's death, Clarke went into partnership in 1703 with the last surviving Fromanteel, Abraham. They then used the Fromanteel and Clarke signature, without localization. Until 1722, timepieces were made under the Fromanteel name.
