New Year, New Inventory
Key Takeaways
Our mission at Collectability is as much about education as it is about sales and this video supports that goal. In this video John presents five amazing timepieces and explains the fascinating stories behind each piece – from a female oil company CEO to the US Navy. Occasionally, we acquire and sell exceptional timepieces that were not made by Patek Philippe. When we do sell such a piece, it needs to be an exception that counts. In this video, John presents an extraordinary grand complication pocket watch made by S. Smith which represents the very best of English watchmaking. It was this kind of horological masterpiece that really made Patek Philippe up its game in the late 1900s – it needed to compete with the British in terms of horological masterpieces. Interestingly, the ultimate grand complication pocket watch by S. Smith, the “Grosse Piéce”, recently sold at auction for a record USD 7.7 million . There is also a unique YouTube moment when a pocket watch, which has remained untouched for 100 years, suddenly sings by engaging its minute repeater totally independently.
