The rest,I don t know,but like other events like this,they seem good places to get a good deal..

like the Patek which raised almost EUR3m.  To be honest at this price, I feel it is just a charitable thing... a way to give money and also receive something nice back

Great result supporting a fantastic cause... disappointed I did not win anything but you can't win them all.

we could discuss for hours on results....

you could give money and receive something nice back also with other great watches in the catalogue.....lets say that with Patek your donation is...safer.

a lot to do with the price the Patek ended up.

To gather all the results, Andrew.

Best,

Nicolas.

... I was just about to see if Google had the results.  I am completely blown away that the Patek fetched almost 4 Million US dollars.  Wowzee wow wow. Staggering!  Unbelievable!  I'm surprised the Claret Pinball Machine only garnered a hundred, thirty-five thousand US.  The Richard Mille seems to have taken in almost 450 grand... right around the actual retail price of the Usain Bolt watch with the runner's namesake.  Glad to see the Ferrier piece getting its due at 176,000 US dollars.  

I am not sure where to get the individual details but I am sure they will surface in bits and pieces.

There is nothing official yet that I know of.

Best

Bill

I hope the money the charity organisation got, will solve lots of problems. That´s all that counts, at the end!

Oliver

the money raised is all that matters....

Everyone is a winner!

1. The charity fund for sure!

2. The owners of these piece unique watches! (Many of them really got great value with the auction prices they paid)

3. The brands who designed, created and donated them... they all got good publicity regardless of the auction results and we all know these watch manufactures contributed to a noble cause (many of them have participated every 2 years for this charity).

Very happy to hear many less fortunate will benefit from this. These results are something for us Purists to celebrate together for!

Cheers
Robin

on your point that the brands all had good publicity........well.....ask Claret if he is happy with the result....I bet he would ve rather not being there....

And agree with you when brands fall far below estimates.

For me personally, I give all these brands credit for their generosity to support this auction and for several of these brands who didnt meet the low estimate, I learned alot more about their brand and timepieces.
That is the good publicity part I meant (at least good publicity to me). Even if far below estimates, the charity still benefited from the kind gestures of the brands so kudos to them!

Cheers
Robin

I respect their involvement for such a great initiative.....

Of course I think he would wished the watch fetched more money for the charity. ... but I don't think he would have regretted participating as he had contributed to charity plus raised awareness of his brand thru this event (lots of publicity on social networks and press globally).

Few months ago I had the privilege of sitting beside Mr Claret in a dinner in Singapore when they launched the Kantharos. Chatted alot with him. Great horological master and if my pockets and wrist (I have very small wrists) allow... I will buy a Kantharos!

Cheers
Robin

wallet and wrist to carry one of Mr Claret watches....alas!!!
