Clips from the Anitques Roadshow

The Antiques Roadshow is a program that runs both in the United States and The United Kingdom.  It a factual show where members of the public bring in items to learn more about them.  It is a entertaining program and is enjoyable to watch.

From time to time certain pieces are brought in which get my attention.  Thought I would post a few clips that were quite good.

The first clip is from the USA version.  A gentleman brought in a pocket watch by Patek Philippe that had been in his family for quite a long time.  This pocket watch was made in 1914.  This was before James Ward Packard and Henry Graves Jr had their superwatches made.

This watch eventually sold for $1.5 million at a Sothebys Auction. (Updated 16/05/14)

The second clip is also from the USA version.  A lady brought in a box of her fathers watches, which she didnt know much about.  Her father collected quite a few nice pieces.  Although the valuer for the show got a few things wrong such as the Cartier having an enamel dial which it didn't.

The third clip is from the UK version.  Another PP pocketwatch but less complicated then the first one.
