Watch & Pocket Watch Auction Sunday, 31 May 2026 / 11:00 am start

After the huge success of our inaugural Pocketwatch & Watch Auction, House of Huia is thrilled to bring back a second, bigger and better iteration! The sale runs to an impressive 300 lots and features a remarkable selection of timepieces that will have collectors and enthusiasts absolutely drooling. The Pocketwatch offering takes bidders on a journey through the entire history of horology, spanning early verge movements right through to elegant stem-wind examples. From there, the sale moves into a compelling selection of trench watches, those rugged and historically significant pieces born from the demands of the battlefield, before transitioning into an exciting array of characterful vintage wristwatches. Rounding out the sale is a stellar lineup of big-brand highlights featuring special examples from the world's most prestigious makers, including Omega, Seiko, Longines, Rolex, Tudor, Tag Heuer, and more. Thoughtfully curated to offer exceptional variety across styles, sizes, and wearability, this sale has something to suit every wrist and every collection. Don't miss your chance to bid on what promises to be an unmissable event in the New Zealand horological calendar!
