Was anyone lucky enough to pick this up at auction today? I was very interested but at 900 Euro plus commission, the bidding got too rich for me. I know I will regret it but you can't buy them all.

14.5 x 12cm, 23 pages

Below are the two images included in the auction catalogue. Even the front cover is a work of art.

Kind of odd that all but one of the watches is upside down.

That’s clearly an art director that has never worn a watch.

Was interested, but at these prices I have to have other priorities. My house is not a museum. Yet😁

Love the sun dial drawing! Reminds me of drafting classes in college.

...and strange that one only has lugs on one end 😕

Even upside-down, that's a great catalog... But dang that is steep.
Would love to see more pics if the buyer is here!

Nurse's watch perhaps? The only one that would make sense upside down.

Lugs are at the wrong end though...

You're right. Are we totally sure this isn't a Bizzarro World catalog??? Literally every bit of it is strange.

interesting that they tried to set the upside down ones at the 10 & 2 position (which is 4-ish and 8-ish) - and the they set the right side up one at the 4-ish & 8 positions.. hmm....

or is the 4-ish and 8 position a thing..? maybe ?
