Bonhams Hong Kong Is Auctioning Asia's Largest Collection of Multi-Brand Watches

Bonhams has just kicked off Asia's largest single-owner watch auction The collection was put together by a single collector some 40 years, where he first caught the watch bug and developed his love for OMEGA in his teenage years With such a large number of watches on display, and accessible to the public, we sat down with Bonhams' Director of Watches, Sharon Chan, for a closer look at some of the special watches being offered in the auction.

In keeping it accessible to the general public, there will be a number of watches offered without reserve with bidding starting as low as $3,000 HKD For those interested, the entire collection can be found at the auction's web page Lot 1170 - OMEGA.

Stainless steel "Giant" Seamaster bracelet watch with date Limited-edition stainless steel jump hour retrograde centre seconds wristwatch with sun and stormy clouds indication with Mickey Mouse dial - Years back I was bidding on this Donald Duck watch where the dial depicted Donald Duck golfing His driver was the minute counter and he would raise it higher until it got to the "60" minute marker then "Fly-back" to "0" The idea that Gerald Genta, the creator of so many iconic watches, took the time to do a Disney collection is just so amusing.
