The Bordeaux Quinconces auction house is organizing an online sale from Thursday June 23 at 8 p.m. to Thursday June 30 at 8 p.m. selling the 130 watches from a watchmaker's collection.
“It's a sale that allows everyone to get started,
explains Jean-Christophe Guyon, CEA expert and designer of this online sale via Interenchères.
That's why I organized this sale, a week after a sale dedicated to exceptional pieces.
People will be able to have fun with pieces between 300 and 3000 euros.
It is the chest of a master watchmaker of the older generation, a true lover of watches.
He was also a collector and kept a lot of things.
It's a Prévert-style inventory.
He liked pieces related to adventure and the military world.
An endowment Omega from 1946, estimated at €300 to €700.

Among the pieces, generally offered with estimates of only a few hundred euros, are a few nuggets.
“It's really not expensive, and everything works,
underlines Jean-Christophe Guyon.
Some are even new from stock, remaining thirty years in its drawers.
He bought them, put them away and never wore them.
Attention: auctions oblige, count 24% of selling costs to be added to the final amount.
“Whoever submits the largest bid online by 8 p.m. on June 30 will win.”
