10 Things You Should Know About Wrist Watch Auctions
Watch auctions and dedicated timepiece auction houses are more popular now than ever before, and we'd like to try to explain what you need to know before becoming a potential auction bidder. Without a doubt, it is an exciting time to be a watch lover, because the world is talking about timepieces more than ever. On the one hand, you have the gradual emergence of the smartwatch industry that, despite concerns from some low-end brands, will likely have the outcome of making people notice wrist watches more than the general public has in the last 20 years.

Does anyone have the name of a solid restorer? We're in Eastern Ontario, Canada, but would consider anywhere worldwide if the recommendation is solid. Many thanks all, Chris
