Legendary Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher’s watch collection is going on sale

Michael Schumacher won seven Formula One Driver's World Championships, and some of his luxury personalised watches uniquely celebrate these victories. 


Eight of the opulent and personalized timepieces owned by Formula One legend Michael Schumacher will be auctioned off, with a potential total value of over $4.8 million.

The auction company Christie's has announced that the unique watches will be on display in New York from May 3 to May 5, which coincides with the Miami Grand Prix weekend, before going up for auction in Geneva, Switzerland, on May 13.

 

The family of driver champion Schumacher owns a variety of watches that he accumulated over the years. Christie's head of watches Remi Guillemin told CNN on Thursday that "more recently, they decided to part ways with specific watches of the collection, where they believed watch collectors would be able to appreciate the true value of the pieces."

He continued, "We're really just overjoyed to have these watches and to have been able to work with the family."
