Sotheby’s, Christie’s load up spring sales with “highly coveted, investment-grade watches.”

In anticipation of some high-profile timepiece auctions scheduled to take place in Geneva next week, CNN compiled a slideshow of 10 “highly coveted, investment-grade watches” that will be awarded to the highest bidder. The article mentions a special sale being held by Phillips on May 14 called “Start, Stop, Reset: Epic Stainless Steel Chronographs,” which will feature luxury manufacturers like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Breitling and Omega. That’s on top of the regular auctions that Sotheby’s and Christie’s hold each spring.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
