Christophe Auction
BERKELEY House, 2nd Floor, Mayfair, London, W1J 6BD
After many years working at the highest level in the auction world and runner for important dealer I have chosen not to operate from a gallery or to participate in art fairs and I am free to travel wherever I need to and pursue whatever projects I choose to. I dedicate more time visiting clients across the globe, sharing their passion for watches, listening closely to their needs and providing whatever service they require thanks to an extensive worldwide network of contacts that I have developed during my 25 years in the market.
That is why I chose a dynamic and new way to operate auction online only with a passionate tool like technology. That is why I build Christophe auction online only. My goal is to offer a bespoke service to my client with simple mixture of knowledge and technology a new experience and challenge for me.
Trust and Transparency
My approach is to offer a complete service, guiding collectors through every step of the process in both selling and buying by online auction try to approach a new young collectors with their new sensibility and taste and trend for the world watches.
Critical in this process is establishing a relationship based on trust and transparency. I work with collectors who can fully trust my knowledge of the art itself and my in-depth understanding of the watch market. This trust is complemented by a policy of transparency in disclosing all information pertaining to the watch itself and in operating with a clear and fair commission structure. I always make it clear which party I am representing in any transaction.
Based in London, I work with a select number of private collectors offering independent advice on all aspects of buying and selling vintage and contemporary watches in the global marketplace and l like to approach the new generation of collectors by auction online my new passion and l like to be a new trusting way to buy and sell watches, clocks, vintage, contemporary including accessories for men and work of paper.
I cover a wide range of collecting areas: I am anchored in the world of Art in general, but my interests are wide-ranging, extending from clocks, pocket watch, Art Deco world and vintage jewellery I have an imaginative and creative approach to collecting watch and art.
I have co-curated like consultant and auctioneer for many auction house between France and Italy regarding watches world market. I offer my clients a unique, personalised and truly international service. I have experience of both the auction and dealer world, having lived and worked in New York, London, Paris and Italy. I speak Italian, French and English.
