Time is money

Article Abstract:

There is very strong interest in Asia in investing in antique watches. This trend is in turn attracting international auction houses such as Sotheby's. Most investors are attracted by a watch's appearance, and see a valuable watch as a reliable status symbol. Very ornate, shiny watches are particularly popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. However, a watch's value is largely dependent on what the market dictates, and it is vital to obtain expert advice.
