… not even a cheaper one, but this was a very interesting and exciting event.

You have to see the Master of Ceremonies, Christie's watch department head Aurel Bacs for yourself, jumping behind his console and moderating, no, pushing, the battle between the left side phone agents and the right side phone agents, and the room bidders, who developed their own group dynamics. Bidding via Internet was provided but not significant, only one or two on-line bids were successful.

Given all the positive parameters (legend, history and stories, quality of the pieces, (dumb) money flowing into real values) I expected a great evening, but this auction was the tremendous start of a new wave -- or hype.
