The trio examine the pieces, which range from a corporate-branded Rolex Air-King to a “piece unique” with a micropainted scene of Manhattan Bridge, created specifically for the auction by Arnold & Son.
All proceeds from the “No Reserve” auction will go to HSNY and the organisation’s work to advance horology, which includes offering financial aid to watchmaking institutions and watchmaking students.
Timepieces for HSNY: 2021 Charity Auction is being hosted online by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo from June 7-14.
