IWC AquaTimer 42mm 3538 titanium $4,200.00 CAD. 501-00429

Yes, we showcase many great estate and vintage watches on our website. Our ever-changing selection keeps our watch collecting clients coming back. We never grow tired of the magnificent watches that we temporarily foster until they find their forever homes. If an estate Rolex, Omega, or Breitling just seems a little too pedestrian and you desire something more exotic, how about an IWC Schaffhausen? Not only is it a fun name to say, but it is also one of the true great manufacturers. They are much more than just a well-marketed brand. From their 1868 inception in Schaffhausen Switzerland by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, they developed an international reputation for manufacturing watches of the highest quality. Our newest estate watch is this titanium AquaTimer with an internal one-way rotating bezel. This feature was last seen in the original ICW AquaTimers from the 1960s and we’re happy to see its return. The slick system allows for timing events by setting the bezel with the 4:00 o’clock crown. There is no external ratchet system to get dirty or stiff and gives the watch an interesting slightly dressier look than a hardcore sports model. Make no mistake this is still a serious diver tool, with a water-resistant rating of 2,000 meters! Despite its larger size the titanium case and rubber strap keep the weight to a very manageable 103 grams. The large hands and markers with luminous treatment are easy to read in all lighting conditions. The movement inside the case is an IWC 21 jewel 30110 (base caliber ETA 2892-A2). This automatic winding mechanism has been powering some of the world’s most famous Swiss brands with accuracy and reliability for decades. Included with the watch is an IWC service box and receipt from a December 2023 factory service that included a full overhaul of the movement, case refinishing and replacement of the hands. IWC no longer offer the AquaTimer in super tough resilient titanium. The current version in stainless steel with an internal bezel retails at $9,800.00 CAD and can be seen on the IWC website here. This excellent condition watch comes with our complimentary 1-year warranty. It is estate priced at $4,200.00 CAD. Stock #501-00429.

0.75ct. tw. I1-JK natural diamond heart pendant & chain, 4.3gr., 18″. $990.00 CAD. 161-00308

It’s not too late to be a Valentine’s Day hero. Heart shaped jewellery has been around forever and they are always consistent sellers in our estate department. This traditional diamond frame design offers a slight style tweak with some tapered baguette cut diamonds interrupting the double row of round brilliant cut diamonds. The diamonds are set in a rising/falling wave pattern around the frame showcasing a continuous change in height around the circumference adding some visual interest. The 27 diamonds are conservatively estimated to weigh 0.75 carats if brighter than you’d expect for I1-JK quality. Measuring 19mm across, it’s big enough not to be missed but not so large that dominates your appearance. The pendant is suspended from a light weight, 18 inch curb link necklace keeping the focus on the pendant. The chain and pendant weigh over 4.3 grams in total. Something like this should give you a lot more milage than a flower arrangement that only lasts a few days. Even with the high price of gold there is still great value to be found in our estate jewellery. The necklace and pendant are in like new condition and estate priced as a set for $990.00 CAD.

2022 Breitling Endurance Pro X82310 44mm quartz $2,600.00 CAD. 515-00120

Breitling’s line of ultra-light sports watches reminds us of Tag-Heuer’s first Formula 1 watches from the 1980s; and lately the newest reedition Formula 1 models. The Endurance Pro X82310 comes in almost every colour of the spectrum.  The Tag Heuer F1 was an incredibly successful venture that arguably saved the financially struggling company with a lower priced mass-market sports watch. Breitling is riding a wave of success and the Endurance Pro is no low price, entry-level watch. They show a suggested retail price of $4,450.00 on the Breitling website. This price point gets you a very large composite black case measuring 44mm in diameter yet the watch only weighs 53 grams including the Breitling embossed rubber strap. The watch was designed with athletes and adventures in mind who don’t want to be bogged down by a bulky watch that can interfere with movement. The exact composition of what Breitling calls “Breightlight” is a company secret. This mystery material has been around for several years and appears tough and resilient under the demanding conditions you’d expect a Breitling to be subjected to. The Breitling calibre B82 is thermally compensated and should be accurate to a second or two per month with a battery life of around 3 years. The movement features a 30-minute, 3-register chronograph with a lap timer 1/10 of a second display. In keeping with its athletic design, a heartbeat pulse calculating scale can be found on the dial’s chapter ring. For someone who likes high-tech, ultra-accurate, low maintenance, sports watches, the Endurance Pro should be considered. An anti-reflective coated, sapphire crystal allows easy time interpretation of all the dial information.  Instead of a ratcheting timer bezel, which is made completely redundant by the chronograph feature, the Endurance Pro comes with a rotating compass heading bezel. The compass heading allows direction calculation in collaboration with the analog hour hand. Instead of the typical tachymeter scale on the chapter ring, the Endurance Pro features a base 30 heartbeat scale calculator. This watch has only been carefully worn by a watch collector/enthusiast customer of ours. It just returned from Breitlings service centre where it had a minor service of battery, gasket replacement, case cleaning, and water resistance maintenance. It comes with a service box, instructions, and the original bill of sale from the Ontario authorized agents where the watch was originally purchased. We are including a complimentary 1-year warranty. Estate priced at $2,600.00 CAD. Stock #515-00120

0.22CT. I1-I natural “Dancing” diamond heart pendant, on 18″ chain, 14kt., 3.6gr. tw. $780.00 CAD. 161-00386

Celebrate love, movement, and timeless elegance with this exquisite “dancing” diamond cluster heart pendant, beautifully crafted in luminous 14 karat yellow gold. Designed to captivate, this romantic piece showcases a striking cluster of diamonds that “dance” and delight with every movement, creating a continuous cascade of light and sparkle.Comprised of a dynamic cluster of five uniquely shaped natural diamonds, suspended at the centre of an elegant, polished 14 karat gold heart-shaped frame. With a total diamond weight of approximately 0.22 carats with a strong I1-HI quality. The central diamond cluster has been thoughtfully arranged and skillfully set with an invisible setting technique in order to maximize sparkle and overall impact, making the cluster arrangement of five diamonds look more like a single large diamond. A dazzling “dancing” effect, the focal point of this enchanting design, is created by the precision-engineered dual-point suspension setting, that allows the central diamond cluster to rock freely within the stationary heart shaped frame. Even if you try to hold the pendant absolutely stationary the cluster rocks back and forth. No matter how hard you try the diamonds will just keep on dancing. Designed to enhance movement by catching and reflecting light from every angle, the diamonds “dance” brilliantly at the slightest movement, showcasing the lively radiance of the diamonds at the “heart” of the piece. Paired with an 18-inch fancy link 14 karat yellow gold chain, that perfectly complements the pendant’s design while maintaining a refined and delicate presence. With a total gold weight of approximately 3.61 grams, this piece feels substantial and well-crafted, yet remains comfortable for everyday wear. Versatile and meaningful, it transitions effortlessly from day to evening and layers beautifully with other fine jewelry. Symbolizing enduring love, connection, and romance, the pendant balances classic charm with modern elegance. A beautiful symbol of love and movement, this playful yet elegant diamond heart pendant makes a thoughtful, romantic gift that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays, or any special occasion.

Pomellato M’ama garnet earrings 3.50ct. tw., 3.8 grams, 18 karat gold. $1,500.00 CAD. 211-00266

We’ve only ever had one other piece of Pomellato jewellery pass through our estate department before; as soon as we saw this pair of earrings we knew they would be our second. The Pomellato style is unmistakably organic, smooth and flowing as if formed by nature. Polished and faceted cabochons using colourful natural gems are mainstay design elements for most Pomellato creations. You don’t see many of the traditional gems like sapphire, emerald, and ruby; instead they focus on unusual hues of quartz, topaz, tourmaline,  garnet, peridot, and malachite. Established in Milan Italy in 1967; so it comes as no surprise their style continues the tradition of excellence coming from one of the world’s great design centres. Our compact little earrings are part of the M’ama collection from the early part of the 21st century. They are only around 14mm in height but weigh a stout 3.8 grams. Naturally they have been handcrafted from rich 18 karat yellow gold. Each earring contains a perfectly polished pinkish purple rhodolite garnet of exceptional quality. Each garnet measures 6.5mm diameter and is estimated to weight 1.75 carats. The high refractive index of garnet and the tall dome profile of the cabochon cut gives these stones an optical effect similar to a powerful optical lens. Each earring is secured with a tight spring loaded signed hinge that closes over a wire post that is perfectly integrated into the earring body. Pomellato retired this design a few years ago but the unique style still looks great today. The Pomellato brand is definitely worth having a look at if you love extraordinary design and skillfully handcrafted jewellery. From what information we can gather about these garnet M’ama earrings we feel they cost around $2,400.00 USD before they were retired. Our estate pair are in perfect condition, showing no wear of any kind. They are estate priced at $1,500.0 CAD. Stock #211-00266.
