“I wanted to know the history of this watch”: a day of watch appraisal in Le Mans.
Alexis Francis-Boeuf, in addition to serving as the UFE’s treasurer, recently founded his own watch appraisal firm after twenty-eight years spent at a major Parisian watchmaking house.
While continuing close collaborations with the public auction market, particularly at Millon and Pastor, he has been developing a vast personal client network since the beginning of the year, for clients wishing to have their treasures appraised and to learn their history, especially in matters of inheritance.
The article from Ouest-France, which we thank, is an excellent contribution to educating the public on the role of the expert, as an arbiter and knowledgeable authority. It aligns with our philosophy, which is to be, in one’s specialty, deeply imbued with a passion for the human stories linked to objects, historical and scientific culture, and a keen sense of advice, market trends, and transactions.
Watches remain a safe haven asset, just like gold, Alexis Francis-Boeuf rightly states to Ouest-France. Transactions are indeed numerous and very dynamic.
The UFE will soon welcome new members specializing in jewelry and watchmaking by the end of June.
