Watch Collector - 3 years anniversary


Started my own boutique „Watch Collector“ 3 years ago and so my greatest journey got on its way at the end of 2011. It is till now my greatest challenge and I experienced the most beautiful moments of my life at this time! 
Making my passion as a job is like living a dream for me and without the support of my parents and some of my closest friends I would not have gone through these 3 years. The more, the outstanding support of my clients helped me to build up my own boutique and so I am really thankful to all of the people who supported me and those who still support me on my journey!
As well I wanted to thank the watch brands I do represent in my boutique, which do produce some of the most exclusive timepieces on earth, for everything they did for me.
I wish you all a great upcoming festive season and a great time with your family and friends.

All the best.

Haas Neveux & Cie, Gübelin and Patek Philippe @ Sotheby's December 10

Here are my picks for the upcoming auction at Sotheby's December 10:


I do really like those pocket watches with minute repeater and so I do love this rare and beautiful Haas Neveux & Cie made in 1920 yellow gold case. The watch is in an overall good condition. Lot N°176, Estimated 8 000 $ - 12 000 $.



For this Haas Neveux & Cie I like the simplicity of the dial with Breguet numerals and hands. The shape of the bridges of these old pocket watch movements is something I love really much. This one was made in 1900. Lot N° 275, Estimated 2 500 $ - 3 500 $.



I like this Gübelin jumping hour made in 1935, the design of the dial and case are really beautiful. The case comes in white gold. The watch is in an overall good condition. Lot N° 178, Estimated 7 000 $ - 9 000 $.



If I would have to chose a vintage Patek Philippe timepiece, it would be the iconic 1518 even before the 2499. This one is made in 1950, arabic numerals and yellow gold case. Lot N° 115, Estimated 150 000 $ - 200 000 $.


I invite you as well to have a look at my vintage corner on my website of my boutique, some rare and beautiful timepieces are waiting there!

All the best.
