103 Auction
7 November 2020 Mannheim
During the run-up to the auction season, it’s easy to focus on the big houses featuring superstar lots that get the lion’s share of the community’s attention. But for every horological heavyweight being auctioned at the big houses, there are dozens of lots at smaller houses that don’t get the same sort of visibility – but maybe they should. Dr. Crott Auctioneers out of Mannheim, Germany, is one of those auction houses. On November 7, they will be holding their “103rd Auction” in Mannheim at Speicher 7.

The Geneva Watch Auction: XII
6 - 7 November 2020, Geneva Auction
Taking place over two days – Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7 – The Geneva Watch Auction: XII at Phillips is the first sale of the fall auction season.A compact sale of under 180 lots, the auction comprises a diverse line up, ranging from the obviously notable – like a Cartier Crash in platinum and a unique Patek Philippe ref. 5020P – to the obscure but extremely interesting, like the postwar A. Lange & Söhne wristwatch made after the company had been nationalised by the Soviets, as well as a vintage Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar with a paradoxical brand-new but factory-original case. Here’s a look at handful of standouts from the sale.

Watches Weekly / James Bond
6–13 November 2020, London / Online Auction
This very special Watches Weekly auction offers a truly masculine edit of watch brands favoured by James Bond. Among the highlights is a Rolex reference 1016 with a tropical dial, sports watches including Rolex Daytonas and the highly collectible Omega Alaska project.
The connection between the James Bond Franchise and watches dates all the way back to Ian Fleming’s original novel, “Casino Royale,” in which the unlikely hero dons a Rolex wristwatch. Bond frequently wears Rolex and Omega wristwatches throughout the film productions and these brands quickly became synonymous with the rugged spy. Fleming himself enjoyed wearing a Rolex Reference 1016, one of which we have in the sale.
