This weekend's auctions have put the capstone on 12-18 months of bottle rocket rise of steel 1960s chrono prices. That trip appears about over for regular folks, at least as we have enjoyed it to date. I think there is still some life around the edges for careful prospectors, but bargains are going to be very, very few and very far between. Now, anyone can get the watch of the moment if they have access to Scrooge McDuck's vault. The trick for the rest of us is to anticipate where the limelight will shine next. Simply put: What is the title for Phillips' next thematic auction?
The Horlogy of Conflict: Important Military Timepieces/ War and Timepiece (i'm new at this, so forgive it this theme has already been covered in real life) I'm actually hoping for the onset of the Naive/Outsider Horology wave, akin to that seen in the visual art world only a few years ago. Hold on to your junkers (not Junkers), their day may come.
