Vergilius, a Roman poet who wrote poems and epics a couple of decades before year zero, captured the passage of time in a quote that has become winged: 'Sed fugit interea, fugit irreparabile tempus'. Freely translated: 'Meanwhile, the irreparable time flees.' And time has long since flown Virgilus, but his words live on, and it is with them that Stockholm Auction House Helsingborg guides us through a curated selection of Omega watches. The 24 lots range from the elegant 1950s, via the 1960s' proper fashion, to the more experimental 1970s. An Omega Constellation, 'Pie Pan', from 1956 stands out, as does an early Seamaster, Calendar. For those who desire something entirely different, perhaps a very blue Genève, Dynamic could be suitable, or why not the only pocket watch in the theme with anchor escapement and center seconds? Welcome!
