I just saw that a Hubler watch given to Hitler sold at auction for $1.1 million. It is an interesting watch (despicable as the recipient of said watch was), but it got me thinking about a larger question: does anyone here collect watches owned by the famous (or infamous)?

I don’t typically fancy ones with such provenance but have considered going independent from the traditional Swiss makers…thinking of adding a Greubel Forsey.

Greubel Forsey are fantastic. I’ve been able to check out a few that some friends own and they’re seriously grail-tier. Best finishing I’ve seen in the metal outside of super low production shops like RWS/PD.
