2:00PM: Timepiece Pursuits: The Thrills, Triumphs and Tribulations of Watch Collecting: Collecting watches is a hobby that can drive us mad. It may start as a “hobby,” but for many, the call of collecting takes over and one time “enthusiasts” become all-out obsessives! In this vibrant panel discussion, OMBAS attendees can hear from a panel featuring a celebrated dealer and an auctioneer, moderated by a watch journalist – all three of them collectors in their own right, too –  about the watches they travelled to find in 2023, times it worked out and the times it didn’t, the battle of auctions versus private dealers, what happens when they’re fighting for the same watch or client, and more.

Panelists: Eric Wind, Wind Vintage and Jonathan Burford, Senior Vice President, Senior Specialist, Watches, Sotheby’s

Moderated by Anthony Traina, Hodinkee

1:00PM: Tales from the Trade: An #OMBAS Tell All: The one that got away, bidding wars, pieces of questionable provenance, unusual requests…our dealers have stories to tell! Traditionally kept within the confines of those “in the know,” for the first time, a diverse group of OMBAS dealers are going to spill the tea publicly! Without naming names, this tell-all panel discussion will provide an inside glimpse into what it’s really like to be an antique, vintage and estate dealer.
