Hong Kong Spring Sale of important timepieces, featuring independent watchmakers

 After the remarkable success of its Premier Auction in October 2011, Swiss Auction is set to hold its next sale of memorable timepieces on May 7, 2012 in Hong Kong. Leveraging on DKSH’s long tradition and outstanding expertise in the growing Asian luxury watch segment, Swiss Auctions will make rare timepieces “shine” in Asia – and around the globe through its new online real-time-bidding system “Swiss Auctions LIVE”. Besides new and vintage watches of renowned luxury brands, Swiss Auctions’ Spring Sale will feature unique pieces from members of the “Horological Academy of Independent Creators”.

Gonpo Tsering, Head Operations Support, DKSH Holding, remarks: “Swiss Auctions is not only the platform for watch collectors to communicate and exchange opinions on collectibles; it has also become a bridge for promoting Swiss watchmaking culture and unique watchmaking techniques. The auction itself is a special culture. We are delighted to welcome the three independent watchmakers from AHCI, who will bring inspirations and excitement to the Asian watch market. At the same time, we are confident to bring you more wonderful surprises in our Spring Sale and in our following auctions.”
