Published February 3rd, 2008

World renowned pieces by jewellers such as Cartier and watch makers such as Franck Muller and Breguet will be going under the hammer at
Bonhams’ first auction in the Middle East.

Bonhams, the international fine art auction house established in the UK since 1793, will hold a dedicated fine jewellery and watches auction on Tuesday 4th March 2008 at 7pm at the One & Only, Royal Mirage Hotel. This follows the art auction on Monday 3rd March featuring some of the biggest names in modern Arab, Iranian and Indian art.

“The UAE is fast becoming a leader for fashion and jewellery on par with Paris, London and New York, and interest is high across the region for classic jewellery and watches,” said Matthew Girling, Bonhams’ European & Middle Eastern Chief Executive.

“We expect timeless pieces, such as those we are presenting at our first Middle East auction, to have widespread appeal. Our clients in the region expect the best of the best, whether that is in the cut, quality or design of a piece. We have sourced auction items from across the globe for their specific appeal to the market, for their rarity, value and beauty.”
