These watches are carriers of history worthy of being collected. It is in the name of the owner that prestigious is any interest, no? The question I ask myself is this. What document original warranty seller he gives to authenticate? Some evidence of authenticity gives me serious doubts!
- Antiquorum auction shows a historically
MAJEURE as having belonged to Albert Einstein! (The sale was held October 16th at Antiquorum's U.S. headquarters on Madison Avenue in New York.) Read this: : http://www.antiquorum.com/eng/press2008 / oct16_ny . htm, photo-cons. - The bidder has acquired for the record price of U.S. $ 596,000! !
- I take for example the OMEGA Lawrence of Arabia (auj ourd'hui Museum of Omega, which was sold in November 2000, Geneva by Antiquorum (86000 Swiss Francs)).
- For only evidence, a receipt of a repair period (1933) was attached to the watch. It is well known name of owner ... Ouff! .... but it does reassure me halfway.
- One blogger arises more questions about this watch, dated 1912 (that is to dig too, read his article), knowing that Omega was exported to France! (Or its colonies)
- How does it find the arm of this agent his gracious Majesty with such inscriptions, those of his army (Royal Flying Corps).
- Lawrence of Arabia was, in fact, a student of military architecture and has been traveling in another, France, cycling in 1905.
- In 1909, when he sailed for Beirut, it does nothing (a camera and a pistol).
- Mahatma Gandhi: March 13, 2009: In this case, the origin seems to me better certified that several objects of the great little man were grouped in the same auction. Back on the history of the watch Zenith of Mahatma Gandhi.
