The cultivation of the mainland market
Schilling told reporters in Beijing Jianwai soho, watches a play
more than eight years, the domestic watch auction is not very mature
belong to the cultivation stage. The Schilling participated in the
auction, Antiquorum the Lun many screenings, she thinks: "both from the
collection, identification, assessment standards to production, like
Antiquorum Lun and Christie have these auction houses have very
specialized, and the Mainland also belong to the market cultivation
stage, many auction houses are getting goods from our expert hands shoot
less than so many tables, or simply to collect forest Ms. table shows,
the auction price is much higher than the usual secondary trading, so
she sometimes willing to choose to shoot their own watches auction house
in the Mainland.
Schilling also told reporters, watches in the beginning of the
stage the novice enthusiasts disadvantage abound. Collection of watches
is not just to see what the limited edition, limited edition of some
brands simply does not make sense, the watch collection is a special
collection of some money, some copied to the copy, and some even
refurbished. Poor even if the brand new, re-sell also loss unless
otherwise copy shall only buy the price is right, even if the second
hand is also likely to hold its value or appreciation. "
Schilling's true, Poly jewelry watches the Shangpin Senior business
manager at Wenhao had interview with Artron said, there are some
brands, such as Patek Philippe, early in the decades after World War II
growth process realize its value in the secondary market by the auction
house. Major Ten watch turnover record before shoot are Patek Philippe,
why this brand so recognized, because it's something that is not only
new products valuable, used or collection, has also discontinued its
value, so The brand will be more and more successful. The modern watch
focus on the brands, brands spend a lot of time and effort to research
and development, and to promote publicity. Similarly, a table, the same
function, a top brand with a fledgling or we do not know the brand, the
market value is a world of difference between.

Ministry of senior experts Lidian Xin told reporters: "Patek Philippe in
many brands have the most perfect watch file library system to store
the watch each one, give buyers possession home full of confidence.
Patek Philippe Korea in Geneva has the brand of Pictet Patek Philippe
Museum, to the public display them for many years to collect the watch
boutique, brand and tabulation of the history is displayed. Patek
Philippe them produced of each one watch ' importance and respect for
the history of the brand, it all brands stand out, and put it firmly in
its position in the market. Patek Philippe for many years in the watch
market stands less than. "
Unlike other luxury class and watch in the Mainland, such as the
Beijing Poly auction house, all the jewelry auction are by the national
laboratory identification, such as the detection and identification of
national jewelry center; involves some diamond jewelry, GIA or HRD top
diamond authority accreditation bodies; comes to colored gemstones GRS,
expertised colored gemstone identification center in Switzerland. In
addition, SHEF ES are internationally recognized, certificate to get
recognized by the domestic and respected abroad as well.
So far no one the watch vendor can issue a written certificate of
authentification. Only pay 100 Swiss francs, Patek Philippe, can you
provide the movement and the case number and issue date factory and sold
only specify the table so-called "certificate", but for the dial,
generally is marked: "No Mentioned. Rolex official service outlets only
provide full original Rolex parts repair and maintenance services for 20
years, does not issue a written appraisal. Therefore, it requires
experts and assessment standards of the secondary market in need of
special specialization, more specialization is clearly a long way to go
in the mainland market will inevitably.
Christie's Hong Kong watch senior expert Li Dianxin interview with
Artron, had mentioned that when she first came to Beijing in 2003 to do
pre-show, Mainland buyers basically to watch completely no idea, but now
found Mainland buyers famous brand models back than the experts are
cooked. Li Dianxin watch after ten years of development, mainland buyers
market reaction quickly delve into it very quickly and very thoroughly
drilled. Mainland buyers like the collection of well-known brand,
complex functions or some exquisite special watch, prefer contemporary
process Tourbillon three asked, pay attention to the product of the
table, whether the wife watch box and certificate. With the Mainland
buyers Connoisseur level matures, more and more buyers not only focus on
appearance, more research brand, performance, and investment potential.
The potential of the medieval table, antique table
Looking at the the watches market situation, compared to modern
watches market table medieval table, antique table, a relatively early
first place. Medieval table, antique table from existing data, it seems
no more top-priced auction appeared in the Asian market, antique table
in Geneva, Patek Philippe, a 1928 production of the transaction price in
2011, more than $ 3.6 million . Christie's Hong Kong watch senior
experts Lidian Xin told reporters: "The Asian market has obvious with
the history and culture of the European market, respectively, dominate
the market watches have different modern table in the Asian market as a
leading European market antique table as the leading Asian markets,
modern table popular antique table, pocket watch, antique table is also
subject to a mature and experienced buyers collectors favor. "
Because of its a unique early craft charm and rarity, in fact, have
a lot of people turned to look at the the medieval table and antique
tables aspects, Beijing Poly autumn auction in China market table is a
proof. The Beijing Poly Shangpin, senior business manager at Wenhao in
an interview with this reporter, he mentioned that the Chinese market
table at this stage about the beginning of the eighteenth century to the
nineteenth century to flourish together. European missionary to China,
with China, expand trade, interaction and communication, is to start
from the watch. Emperor of China, especially the nobility on the table a
special feeling when the value of the table is actually more than the
painting and calligraphy antique, antiques higher more exotic, very
rare, so they match up specifically for the Chinese nobility royal cater
to do the batch table.
Table of topics, from the traditional Western religious tradition,
flowers, pigeons, children, there are some fruits are very pattern of
human feelings. The same time, some music, sonata, timekeeping, dolls
and other activities, with watching and playing with one function. China
market table when mass production in Switzerland and France, the number
of thousands of support. But after hundreds of years, handed down
today, very few. Christie's Geneva auction just past there are several
on the table of the Chinese market, very popular these days. Introduced
Wenhao: When the emperor to a table with a few porcelain kilns, so it's
worth or underestimated. Enamel process precious metals complex
mechanical systems, at the same time and historical value and heritage
value. Autumn auction last year, Breguet master of a pocket watch,
customized to the King Turkey in 1803, and sold for $ 440 million, and
later Breguet museum collections, the value of this kind of thing will
manifest itself slowly.
