During the 1960’s and 70’s in order to avoid having to pay hefty import duties imposed on precious metals, Swiss brands made the decision to produce parts of a watch at the country where the watch was to be sold. This occurred in Japan too where brands such as Rolex, most famously would outsource Japanese manufacturers to produce their precious metal bracelets for models such as the Day-Date and Datejust.

IWC, which arguably, was the third most popular Swiss brand (after Rolex and Omega) in Japan during the early 60’s decided to outsource their case production to Japanese manufacturers. As a result there are yellow gold, white gold, and platinum made in Japan IWC cases with each marked by an engraving of a Japanese flag within the case back.

Een platina IWC Calatrava, dat vind ik tof. De prijs viel ook alleszins mee, maar was net te laat.

RIP.

Ik heb hem eens gepast. Het is een kunstwerk op zich, maar wel wat vlakjes qua kleur. En hij draagt niet erg makkelijk (heel dun en helemaal vlak is geen topcombi). En tóch blijft hij erg gaaf.

World premiere from Hanhart: First hybrid NFT in watch auction

There will be three premieres at Van Ham auction house this year on December 2: For the first time at a German auction house, an NFT will be auctioned, the second premiere is that it is the first hybrid watch NFT in the world. And for the first time at an auction in Germany, the NFT can be paid for entirely in cryptocurrency.

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, have developed rapidly as virtual securitization of art and collectibles, and digital art works are fetching record prices. The renowned watch manufacturer Hanhart from the Black Forest is combining real craftsmanship of the highest precision with the digital world for the first time. This first hybrid watch-NFT will be auctioned on December 2, 2021, as part of Van Ham’s new “Watches” auction format. The integration of the watch auction in the context of Modern Week with modern and contemporary art is another novelty and creates unique synergy effects.

The unique NFT up for auction does not only securitize the rights to sketches, designs or views. “We are bridging the gap between the real and virtual worlds, because the buyer of the NFT can also have the Hanhart CXD built by us as a one-off,” says Felix Wallner, Managing Director of Hanhart. The smart contract for the NFT thus also includes the unique, exclusive right to build this watch. Since its founding, the manufacture has stood for innovation and built one of the tools for aeronautical progress with its high-precision pilot watches, some of which are still in use today.

“The design of the watch is trend-setting, creates a look based on the idea of a blockchain and can even translate into reality in classic precision craftsmanship,” says Markus Eisenbeis, CEO of Van Ham. “We are proud that Hanhart has chosen Van Ham as a partner. This underlines our claim as an innovation driver in the industry.”

On December 2, 2021, the hybrid NFT will be offered in the “Watches” auction. This makes Van Ham not only the first German auction house to auction an NFT watch, but also the first where payment of the NFT is also possible in cryptocurrency. The creation of the NFT as well as the technical processing is carried out by the company Time To Token IT GmbH in Cologne, which specializes in tokenization.
