Wristwatch Auction Picks Tyler St. Gelais, Head of Wristwatches & Jewelry
Lot 58 | International Watch Co. manual wind in 18K Est. $1,600 - $2,800 When buying vintage, condition is king. This IWC delivers big with an original dial, excellent condition movement, and lightly polished case with sharp horned lugs that presents exceptionally well on the wrist - everything today's vintage collector loves. Powered by the robust manual winding caliber 89, this is a great daily wear piece for anyone who appreciates the value of dressing to impress or works in a client-facing role. The case is relatively large for the era and clocks in at 37mm x 42mm with a healthy 18mm lug width. You'll be able to easily swap out straps without the need to go custom... although the brown ostrich strap is a great match for the 18K yellow gold case.
Lot 68 | Cyma Cymaflex, manual wind in 18K Est. $600 - $1,200
If you love the previous IWC but want something that's a little more affordable, this Cyma is a great alternative. Equipped with the Cymaflex shock-protection system, this watch comes in slightly smaller at 32mm but delivers a similar visual impact. Condition is also excellent with its original dial and a careful polish that preserves the beauty of the horned lugs.
Gold never goes out of style, and with smaller watches gaining in popularity, this is a great unisex size for 2026.
Lot 85 | Casio Wrist Camera with PC link kit, ref WQV-1-BNDL, w/B&P Est. $150 - $300
Need a break from all the gold? Want something that's futuristic* and fun? This Casio Wrist Camera is sure to put a smile on your face. It's not a G-Shock, but it gives off similar vibes with a large black resin case and strap. Unlike G-Shocks, this watch is equipped with a low megapixel digital camera that can capture black and white photos straight from your wrist! Display them on the small, pixelated screen or connect the watch to your PC with the included PC link kit (Windows 95/98 or NT) to upload them to your MySpace account. We have a feeling this will be more of a collectible curiosity than a daily-wear piece for whoever wins it, which makes it even better that the watch is nearly complete with original packaging, manuals, and software. Be the coolest kid in 2000 26 years later.

Pocket Watch Auction Picks Fred Hansen, Head of Pocket Watches
Est. $300 - $600
This Ball Hamilton railroad watch offers the type of connection to the working history of American railroads that collectors love. The movement is housed in a nickel Ball Model recase with loaner-watch markings for “G.W. Berisford, 169, Piedmont, W.Va.” Even better, it retains its attached identification tag, marked for return to G.W. Berisford in Piedmont, West Virginia. George William Berisford served as a watch inspector for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, giving this piece a direct and personal connection to the railroad timekeeping system.
This watch wasn't a safe queen, making it even more of a collector's piece for those who love loaner watches and the role they had as tools to help keep the railroad system on time.
Est. $1,000 - $1,500
This Illinois Bunn Special truly lives up to the “Extra” designation. It's outstanding example of a rare and highly desirable variation of one of America’s most respected railroad-grade pocket watches with stunning two-tone damascene finish in gilt and nickel, creating an impressive movement design you rarely see.
Although the movement is a show-stopper, the white enamel DS dial is no slouch. Signed “Christophersen & Amundsen,” it features equally beautiful log-style Roman numerals and a handsome period appearance.
The watch is running and presents in nearly mint cosmetic condition overall, with superb preservation of the movement’s two-tone finish. Overall, this is a fantastic example of a rare Bunn Special variant and an opportunity for collectors to add one of Illinois’ most special movements into their watch box.
Est. $6,600 - $7,400
If you have been wanting to add a signed early LeCoultre into your collection, this minute repeater might be the watch for you. Housed in a heavy 18K rose gold A. Fueslin & Cie. case at a nicely sized 54mm, the movement includes all of the sophistication pocket watch lovers would expect from the brand. Condition overall is good, with little wear to the case, a solid dial, and a pleasing repeat tone.
This beauty ticks all the boxes and there really isn't anything more a collector could want from a LeCoultre.
