Christie’s Hong Kong Luxury Week Spring 2026 commemorates the auction house’s 40th anniversary in Asia with two days of Important Watches sales on 27–28 May 2026. The program is built around three private collections—Kronos: Titans of Time, The Eternity and The Chronicle—alongside individually consigned rarities.
When and where the Hong Kong watch auctions take place
The Important Watches auctions are scheduled for 27 and 28 May 2026 at The Henderson in Hong Kong, during the wider Luxury Week running from 22 to 28 May. Christie’s release is dated 7 May 2026, so estimates and schedules should be treated as pre-sale information until the auction house issues final catalog and results notices.

The 2026 program marks four decades of Christie’s presence in Asia. It is presented under the title “Important Watches: Featuring ‘Kronos: Titans of Time’, ‘The Eternity’ and ‘The Chronicle’ Collections.” Christie’s has not published hammer prices, sell-through figures or buyer identities in the pre-sale announcement.
The three collections anchoring the sale
Kronos: Titans of Time
Kronos is a single-owner assemblage of 23 important watches. Christie’s is presenting it across two Hong Kong seasons in 2026, with a combined low estimate exceeding HK$100 million. The auction house calls it “an exceptional single-owner assemblage of 23 important timepieces” and says it ranks among the highest-average-lot-value collections offered in global watch-auction history.
#1 Best Overall
- Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
- Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
- Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
- Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
Its scale gives bidders a concentrated survey of high-end mechanical watchmaking rather than a single-brand theme. The most useful ways to assess individual Kronos lots are rarity, movement architecture, documented private-collection history, originality and condition, estimate range, and whether the design is vintage or contemporary. The release identifies the watches and estimates but does not provide condition reports.
The Eternity Collection
The Eternity Collection appears in Part 3 after Parts 1 and 2 sold in 2025. That sequence matters for collectors following the series: the 2026 offering is a continuation, not a first-time presentation of the collection.
