Thank you for sharing.
Not wanting for you to give away any secrets, but is there any particular timepiece on offer that we should all take note of? unigue or special in any way?

Jim HesterThanks Konrad. The link does not seem to work. Also, when I tried googling the auctioneer and getting to their website that way, there does not seem to be a working website. Has anyone else been successful in opening the auction website?
Gruesse,
Jim

It worked fine for me. You may need to turn-off your pop-up blocker to access the catalogue.

Konrad KnirimHi Jim, my link opens an empty page you may click on 'Web Catalog' and a pdf opens.
Hallo Craig, I think all mentioned lot numbers are interesting: IWC Cal 52 deck watch is rare, the Hanharts Bund and RLM, Klumak Austro-Hungarian Navy in WWI, some Lange KM. I would like I could afford the Kullberg MoD chronometer, for German KM chronometer collectors the Schmidt 47 M 1385, an excellent Stuebner I guess, a.s.o.!! Yes Mk 11, Greenlander, 3 B-Uhren Lange & Laco ...
You do not often see some of theese items...
Greetings Konrad Knirim

Werner RosierHello Konrad,
at least an alternative, especialy after all the discussions of the wrongly described/marked and even faked military watches, that have been on auction lately with the larger and more well known auction house of Crott.

Jim HesterThanks, I am now able to see the auction catalog. They are all very nice, but they are all so expensive that I do not think that I could afford any of them. I also notice that there is only one aircraft clock which is my personal interest. And the one aircraft clock is just a common Soviet one that are sold all day long on Ebay for much lower prices.
