I Forrer (1902-30, I, p. 242) riporta: Coin-engraver and Medallist of Geneva, 1799-1864. The 25, 10, 5, and 1 centime pieces, dated 1847, and signed A. B. are by him. He also cut several medals on the Union of Geneva with Switzerland, 1814 (2 or 3 in conjunction with Ant. Bovy), struck about 1822-24. Auguste-André Bovet was born at Geneva on the 8th Vendemiaire, an VIII (30. September, 1799). From early youth, he was obliged to provide for his own subsistance, and after having been apprenticed as an engraver to Detalla, he entered the business of a goldsmith, M. Bautte, with whom he remained several years. In 1825, on his return from a journey to Italy, he opened a workshop in his native town, and from that time onwards, he produced a large number of medals, seals, patterns for coins, engravings, plates for banknotes, puncheons, decorative plate, &c. His first medallic work dates from 1822; in 1845, the artist was elected a member of the Committee of the Genevese Fine Art Society.
