With the new year upon us, it’s time to take a look at all the upcoming watch auctions from the auctioneers across the world. As auction houses provide more details on their auctions (dates, times, catalogs), we’ll update this page with information and links, so be sure to bookmark it for reference. We’ve marked the “headline” auctions from the largest auction houses — Christie’s, Phillips, Sotheby’s, and Antiquorum — with an asterisk (“*”) so you can skim the list below to find the most important auctions. As you’ll see, some have yet to even provide full details, so check Rescapement frequently for all your auction coverage.
