WATCH WAKING with Daryn Schnipper: The evolution of wristwatch auctions (1980 to 2024)

Since their inception in the 1980s, wristwatch auctions have always attracted collectors and enthusiasts with rare and exceptional timepieces, price records and fantastic storytelling.

For the new episode of Watch Waking, we met with Daryn Schnipper,  Chairman of the International Watch Division and Senior Vice President at Sotheby's, to talk about her first wristwatch auction and how things changed in the past 40 years.

Among other topics we discussed:
- Recent scandals related to auctions,
- How to raise credibility among buyers,
- Some memorable lots,
- Auctions that didn't happen and why,
- How to place the bait for the buyer,
- Why Stallone is selling a watch he never wore,
- How auctions decide on watch trends,
- What is a "married watch" and which brand to check first,

So grab your coffee and enjoy the ride. And we ❤️ your comments and likes  😎
