Cartier, Rolex, Chopard… oh, my!
On Saturday, March 15th, 2025, Kaplans Auction House in Stockholm will host its highly anticipated Ladies’ Watch Special auction, showcasing an exquisite selection of women’s timepieces from renowned brands like Cartier, Rolex, Chopard, and Omega. This event underscores Kaplans’ commitment to offering diverse and quality pieces for every collector and enthusiast.
History of the Auction
While Kaplans stays true to the Kaplans, a family-owned business with over six decades of experience, began as a goldsmith’s workshop in 1946. Over the years, it has evolved into a premier auction house, specializing in watches, jewelry, and fashion. Their auctions attract a global clientele, with both in-person and online participation.
Inclusivity in the Industry
The Ladies’ Watch Special is a testament to Kaplans’ dedication to inclusivity in the watch industry. Sanna Gränesjö, Watch Expert at Kaplans, expressed her enthusiasm: “Creating a selection with only women’s watches feels incredibly inspiring. The watch world is still predominantly male-dominated, so it feels great to present an auction filled with women’s watches.”

Style Markers and Personality
The auction’s catalog offers a wide array of styles, from contemporary models to classic vintage pieces and ornate jewelry watches. For those seeking luxurious aesthetics, the collection features integrated link bracelets, vibrant dials, and cases adorned with precious stones. Gränesjö notes a growing interest in neo-vintage watches from the 1980s and 1990s, stating, “Today, when looking for a watch, it is very much about showing off your personality and style. The watch has become a style marker, and many are looking for something that not everyone else has.”
Auction Highlights
In addition to traditional watchmakers, the auction includes elegant pieces from high-end fashion brands such as Bvlgari, Chanel, Cartier, and Hermès. This curated selection ensures that attendees can find a timepiece that resonates with their personal style and preferences.
