A pocket watch is something every collector should have in his collection and I wonder, when I consider the upcoming
interest in pocket watches, if this is not a time piece that we will see back in daily life.
It's a very discreet and really stylish object for a man to have and use.
At the upcoming Antiquorum auction in Geneva, May 13th. there will be five very interesting pocket watches
by Cartier, that are not seen very often.
