Next month, Sotheby’s will pioneer the first-ever online auction entirely dedicated to world-class pocket watches. - The sale, which will be open for bidding 3-16 June, is the third instalment of the legendary collection ‘Masterworks of Time’ which set a swathe of records last year. Entitled Abraham-Louis Breguet, Horologist extraordinaire, the 126-lot will showcase one of the most comprehensive offerings of timepieces by the father of modern watchmaking to appear at auction. - One of the top lots is this tourbillion watch made by Breguet in 1816 for Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane Bart, the Scottish General and astronomer who gave his name to one of Australia’s largest cities, Brisbane (est. CHF 300,000 - 500,000). - Click the link in bio to see the sale’s full catalogue. - #Sothebyswatches #MasterworksOfTime #Breguet #Tourbillon #Brisbane #pocketwatch
