Someone at my AD was very lucky
I stopped by my AD this weekend and saw a very surprising item in the display case! A very lucky collector (not me!) managed to get the allocation for the 995/135G "Eagle" - King of the sky pocket watch from the Tokyo Grand Exhibition in 2023. It was fun to get to see it one more time before it inevitably disappears into a private collection.
(Before anyone asks, it has already been sold and is not available to purchase.)

Amazing piece and glad that you saw it !
With “A Porchet” as the signature, this unique piece is very collectible ! How did the details look in the metal ?
The details of the miniature painting are more apparent in person
From photos, and seeing it from a distance at the exhibition, I had found it a bit difficult to distinguish the details of the tree and the leaves. With a closer look, the light does give more three dimensionality to the image and the details really come ...
Stunning thanks for sharing
I love that AP made it herself !! What a piece So it’s roughly 79m yen or $500k ?
for the lucky guy that got the allocation
500k well spent - what a stunning piece that would look beautiful in my imaginary library
