This weekend it is time for some action again in Geneva, as Phillips will be having its November auction. As is usual, there are many highlights among the 226 lots that will hopefully be welcomed by their new owners. As always, the selection is remarkably diverse, but also very high-end not only in terms of make and model but also in terms of quality. Here are a few lots that caught our eye!

When you say Cartier, you also say cats, big cats to be precise, as they have been for decades a rich source of inspiration for the brand. A big influence in this was Jeanne Toussaint (1887 - 1978) who became the brand's director of jewelry design in 1933. The story goes that she was on safari in Africa with Louis Cartier when they encountered a panther. She immediately envisioned a piece of jewelry, as she apparently exclaimed: 'Diamonds, onyx, emeralds; a brooch!.' When back in Paris, she immediately went to work, and a legend was born!

The Monaco Yacht Show has a worldwide reputation for the exceptional quality of the collection of 120 superyachts on display each year.

There is today not a shortage of tourbillons. Nearly every high-end brand has at least one, but most of the time multiple, in their collection to choose from. To stand out, you need to have a unique proposition for your clients. It might be a surprise, but that is exactly what this classic looking Ulysse Nardin has to offer!

When Piaget launched their Polo S-collection, it was the reintroduction of stainless steel in their men's collection after the Upstream. Earlier this year the brand expanded the number of styles that the watch is available in, now introducing precious metal cases, as well as leather straps.

As any athlete (or spectator) can tell you, a few seconds can make all the difference between winning and losing in sports. So it’s only natural that professional sports have shaped the horology landscape with watches built specifically for use during competitions.
