Wristwatch Auction Picks Tyler St. Gelais, Head of Wristwatches & Jewelry
Lot 77 | LeCoultre manual wind in 14K Est. $800 - $1,400 While smaller watches have been trending the past year, a well-preserved mid-century LeCoultre will never go out of style. This example is classily sized at 33mm with a tremendous gold-on-gold look that oozes class and delivers exceptional value in our estimate range. Powered by the LeCoultre 480/CW, the watch retains its original dial and a lightly polished case. It looks wonderful on the included brown leather strap, but with 18mm lugs, the new owner can easily dress it up with black crocodile. View Lot 77
This Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver is the perfect argument against spending a ton of money on a modern tool watch. For under a $1000 (estimate), you're getting a manual wind Landeron 248 chronograph that has the right level of honest wear for collectors.
The original dial is clean, with light surface spotting that helps contribute to the overall character of this piece. The 5-minute count down timer still presents in a vivid red, giving that extra "pop of color" you often hear watch reviewers gushing about. With a clean black bezel and a 20mm lug width, this watch is nicely complemented with the included nylon one-piece strap, however the world is your oyster when it comes to strap changes. I'd personally throw this on a Di-Modell Chronissimo to go all-in on the pilot look.
Pocket Watch Auction Picks Fred Hansen, Head of Pocket Watches
Est. $700 - $1,000
Now this is a dial you don't come across every day. This Waltham Vanguard stands out with an exceptionally rare and eye-catching white enamel double-sunk dial, believed to have been designed by Waltham Watch Co. President Ezra C. Fitch himself.
The movement is housed in a silver open face recase with a beautiful rose gold locomotive to the rear. Although the case does have a decent level of wear, the engraving detail has been superbly restored, giving you something to admire on the back after you've finished drooling over the dial. A truly wonderful piece for Waltham collectors that is sure to be a stand out piece in any watch box.
Est. $4,000 - $5,400
Every pocket watch enthusiast should have a repeater in their collection. This C.H. Meylan minute repeater clocks in with a substantial 47mm 18K gold case, giving you a wonderful 63g of precious metal heft. Open it up and you'll find a 1910 presentation engraved to the cuvette from "Minnie and the Children." We don't know the full story behind this watch, but I can tell you that Minnie sure knew how to give a great gift!
The movement runs well with the repeater strikes progressing fairly quickly with a slight rattle in the hour strikes and secondary tone of the quarter-hour strikes. As-is, it' still a charming addition to any collection with the personalization to the case and overall clean dial.
