Auction introduction: The assembly of a great collection of works of art often takes decades of determination and dedication in order to bring pieces together from disparate sources and to curate them into a living entity that constantly evolves and grows to reflect the personality of its owner. The true collector always strives to refine and distill his or her taste and understanding of a subject to pursue the very best, rarest, and most interesting pieces for their collections. The Champion Collection is no exception. Formed over approximately 20 years by a prominent private collector with impeccable taste and a deep appreciation of the highest level of horology, this extensive and comprehensive collection of modern wristwatches will be offered by Christie’s over the 2021 and 2022 auction seasons.
