Hi Watch Fam, Thank you for keeping time with us. We are joined by @Charles Tearle, Head of Watches from Lyon & Turnbull Auction House where he talks about their forthcoming watch auction on 21st November; his fascinating life via Somlo London, Bonham’s, Antiquorum, and Sotherby’s in America and Hong Kong; how a watch auction gets curated and how easy it is to participate; how technology will shape the future of watch auctions, and never forgetting your bidding paddle. (14mins 42 seconds) Tim’s surprise New Watch Alert (NWA) the stunning Baltic Prismic with the Lapis Lazuli stone dial - lucky boy! (2mins 56 seconds)The watches we are lusting after this month - Tim's yearns for Berneron and their Mirage with their, you’ve guessed it, lapis dial - it’s a homage to the Cartier Crash. Meanwhile, Zac has also fallen down the Baltic Prismic rabbit hole but for the orange agate dial.

Zac went for @watchworkshaarlem which features gorgeous Cartier Basculante in various stages of open and closed angles. (11mins 25 seconds)Zac’s winner is Watchbie’s desert inspired FXD.
