Benjamin Clymer highlights 10 watches he would buy from the autumn auction catalogs, led by an early A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 with movement no. 10 and 1995 paperwork. He also points to George Daniels’s Millennium Watch, a 47-piece series made to mark the millennium and the coaxial escapement.

Why it matters (interpretation): This reflects how the auction market is rewarding historically important independent watches and early examples with strong provenance. The piece also underscores the rising attention on George Daniels and the long tail of value in early Lange and independent horology.
