Watches auction hero banner

The next few weeks promise a packed calendar for watch collectors, with a steady flow of sales that move from iconic vintage pieces to cutting‑edge modern models. The earliest events land on November 8, when House of Craven runs an online auction featuring iconic watches alongside its fine art catalogue, and Antiquorum stages a Geneva sale of important modern and vintage timepieces. A brief follow‑up on November 9 sees C&T Auctioneers close its watch bidding, marking the first deadline in the series.

Mid‑month activity spikes on November 12, when Freeman’s hosts a live Chicago watch auction, Midway offers a mixed‑item sale that includes a strong watch segment, and Chiswick runs a dedicated watch auction at 2 p.m. The following day, Smiths Newent’s two‑day sale (Nov 13‑14) still accepts watch entries, while Kimberley Auctions (Nov 15) and Erin Auctions (Nov 15) showcase a blend of fine jewellery and both vintage and contemporary watches.

November 19 brings Gardiner Houlgate’s Luxury Watches auction, highlighting high‑end brands from Rolex to Patek Philippe. The next day, three separate sales converge on watches: Art & Antiques’ Fine Watches auction, Sheffield’s Silver, Jewellery & Watches event, and Dawson’s Fine Jewellery, Watches & Silver auction, each offering a mix of historic pocket watches and modern wrist‑watches.

Later in the month, Keys (Nov 26) and Dore & Rees (Nov 26) present combined silver, jewellery and watch lots, while Locke & England (Nov 27) and Auction House North East (Nov 27) focus exclusively on vintage and modern watches, respectively.

December opens with Ader’s jewellery and watch auction (Dec 2), followed by a trio of major watch‑focused sales on Dec 3‑4: Lyon & Turnbull’s London Watches auction, Kinsella’s Fine Watches sale, and Wannenes’ rare‑watch web‑only event, complemented by Wilson55 and Peter Wilson’s holiday‑season jewellery and watch auctions on Dec 4. The month closes with Ahlers & Ogletree’s Fine Jewellery, Watches & Gifting auction (Dec 10‑11) and O’Reilly’s watch sale (Dec 10), before Sotheby’s caps the season with a multi‑day Fine Watches auction that runs through Dec 17. Across the board, the trend is clear: a balanced mix of heritage pocket watches, high‑value modern wrist‑watches, and a growing appetite for curated online formats that broaden access for global bidders.
