An Aussie watch being auctioned in Geneva

Got a spare AUD$28k? You could grab one of Nick Hacko's "Timascus" editions.



Or if that's spare change for you, grab this for AUD$1.6 mil (plus fees etc).

He's very polarising, and as my Dad used to say, "Doesn't suffer fools gladly".

Many years ago now I started my watchmaking hobby based on his on-line tutoring.
Have purchased a number of items from him (tools, watches) and been helped out by him with a vintage pocket watch issue nobody else was interested in.

For one of his Aussie made watches to make it all the way to an auction in the company of some of the most highly regarded watchmakers in the world is a feather in his cap.
Again, a saying I remember from my Dad.
