„Prodáno za 10 milionů korun!“ Tato věta není při prodeji těch nejdražších hodinek příliš nečekaná, ovšem když aukce Incognito 2008 znamenala koupi hodinek, které nemáte možnost vidět, než je vydražíte, mnoho lidí pozvedne obočím údivem! Důvod je ale prostý, veškerý výtěžek z aukce šel na charitu, konkrétně Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy (boj proti svalové dystrofii). Avantgardní koncept hodinek je výtvorem firmy DeWitt a proslulého architekta Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Šťastný kupující ten den zaplatil druhou nejvyšší částku, hned za hodinkami Patek Philippe, což je samo o sobě obrovským úspěchem!

Láká vás pravěk a vše, co s ním souvisí? Tak to jste měli být 16. a 17. dubna v Paříži, kde tamější pobočka londýnské aukční síně Christie's nabízela v dražbě ostatky prehistorických zvířat. Může se opřít o zkušenosti z roku 2007. Tehdy se jí povedl husarský kousek: cena mamutí kostry vysoké 3,80 metru a dlouhé 4,80 metru vyšplhala na částku v přepočtu 6,5 milionu Kč. Původní odhad přitom zněl na 3,75 až 4,5 milionu. O kupci se ví jen to, že je to obchodník žijící v Paříži, majitel významné sbírky fosilií a minerálů. Ale zpátky k dražbě roku 2008. Pokud jste zaváhali, tak jste právě propásli životní šanci získat například kostru triceratopse starou až 67 milionů let za 12,5 milionu korun... Kdo dá víc?
