Tag Archives: top five watches

For our last Watches & Watch Accessories auction, we thought we would try something a bit different. We asked a couple of members of our watch team here at Fellows to give us their top 5 watches. If you’re in the market for a watch and you’re not sure where to start, hopefully, these picks will inspire you! If you missed this auction, be sure to sign up to receive notifications about upcoming sales. Nathan’s Top 5 Watches: Nathan joined the watch team in April of this year having graduated with a master’s in Ancient History. A bit different from Horology! But he’s quickly learnt the ropes from our more seasoned watch specialists and is quickly finding his ‘style’ when it comes to watches. Lot 262 Seiko – a limited edition Prospex Samurai wrist watch, 43mm. Price Realised: £312.00 “I think this one is cool. It’s modern, futuristic, one of my favourite Seikos. It helps that it’s got a funky name as well: Samurai!” Lot 266 Seiko – a ‘Pogue’ chronograph bracelet watch, 41mm. Price Realised: £637.00 “The Seiko Pogue, who couldn’t love this watch? This model of Seiko is famous for being worn by the astronaut William Pogue! The yellow face also sets it apart, it makes it more interesting.” Lot 272 Tissot – a wrist watch, 22x35mm. Price Realised: £71.50 “I suppose this one is more classic than my other two picks so far. It’s sleek, it would look good on everyone. Luckily it’s also very budget-friendly.” Lot 106 Omega – a Geneve wrist watch, 38x38mm. Price Realised: £260.00 “A square watch isn’t for everyone, but it is for me. This Omega is different to the ones we most commonly see here at Fellows – and for this reason, it had to be in my top five watches. Very 70s.” Lot 235 Leonidas – a chronograph wrist watch, 34mm. Price Realised: £468.00 “I’ll keep this one brief: I simply think this watch is pretty!” Kain’s Top 5 Watches: Kain has been at Fellows since 2016, he’s moved through many departments, finally settling in the Watch team. He recently was promoted to Head of Watches! Well-versed in all things horology, Kain’s taste in watches is simply excellent. Lot 13 Cartier – a Santos Galbee bracelet watch, 28mm. Price Realised: £1,196.00 “Cartier Santos, my reasons for picking this watch are that it has that classic Santos appearance but with a few variations to the usual screw motif bracelet and Roman numeral dial. Could be your everyday go-to or a special occasion watch.” Lot 75 Omega – a Constellation bracelet watch, 32mm. Price Realised: £416.00 “Omega Constellation, sleek design with unusual blue chapter ring bezel. Reliable time keeping and not a watch you have to remember to wind up every day due to the battery-powered quartz movement.” Lot 159 TAG Heuer – a Formula 1 chronograph bracelet watch, 38mm. Price Realised: £286.00 “TAG Heuer Formula 1, fun sporty watch with a durable plastic bezel. Blue and steel always go well together as a colourway and are very affordable.” Lot 195 Baume & Mercier – a Montro wrist watch, 25mm. Price Realised: £390.00 “Baume & Mercier, whilst not a watch I would wear I can appreciate how unique the case is and it shouts ‘luxury’ with an 18ct yellow gold case and Tiger Eye dial.” Lot 209 Cuervo Y Sobrinos – a Tradicion wrist watch, 39.5mm. Price Realised: £910.00 “Cuervo Y Sobrinos, with large angular lugs like that it would be hard to not give it a mention, almost looks like an insect on your wrist.” Valuations Our valuations are free, with no obligation to sell with us.
