Watch Auctions Surge as Vintage and Luxury Pieces Hit the Block
Watches auction hero banner

The calendar of watch auctions is filling up fast, with a mix of online, live and timed events that underline three clear trends. First, the move toward digital accessibility is evident from the earliest ending auction – Dorotheum’s online watch sale (Sep 5) – which offered a two‑week preview window before the final bid, letting collectors from around the world inspect vintage timepieces without travelling. A day later, the Fortuna live auction wrapped up (Sep 9) featuring a curated blend of fine jewellery and high‑end watches, highlighting the growing appeal of combined luxury offerings.

September 10 proved to be a watershed day: five separate auctions closed, each with a distinct format. O’Reilly’s timed auction, Ross’s online auction, Halls Holdings’ in‑person sale, Midway’s indoor live auction, and Duke’s live event at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum all listed watches alongside jewellery, signalling that regional houses are now routinely slotting watch lots into broader luxury programmes. The following week saw specialist watch segments at Sheffield (Sep 11 and Sep 13) and Wessex (Sep 12), where antique and contemporary watches were paired with silver and jewellery, underscoring a growing appetite for mixed‑category catalogs.

Later in the month, Locke & England’s Leamington Spa auction (Sep 15) and the same‑day Silver, Jewellery & Watches auction at Sheffield (Sep 25) reinforced the demand for both vintage and modern pieces, from classic Hanhart military watches to contemporary Swiss brands. Gardiner Houlgate’s dedicated watch auction (Sep 24) marked the first stand‑alone watch‑only event in the series, focusing exclusively on collectible wrist‑ and pocket‑watch movements.

The momentum continues into October with Auction House North East’s Silver, Jewellery and Watches auction (Oct 1) and extends to November when C&T Auctioneers closes its Coins, Watches & Jewellery bidding (Nov 9). Collectively, these auctions illustrate a market that is expanding its digital reach, integrating watches with broader luxury collections, and carving out specialist events for serious horology enthusiasts.
