Evan Zimmermann was considered an art specialist even before joining Antiquorum, an art dealership company that intermediates auctions and transactions of vintage and antique watches. Working for 15 years in this industry and being passionate for art since his childhood allowed Evan Zimmermann to gain the required experience in the area of art dealership, but also to connect with all the art passionate collectors in the world. Today, Evan Zimmermann knows practically any vintage and antique watch that has a significant value, and this is why his professional opinion is required everywhere.
Antiquorum was not a small name in the art dealership business even before Evan Zimmermann joined. However, growing the sales from 20 million to over 100 in a relatively short period says something about the skills of this manager. Now, Antiquorum has offices all over the world, and it is also the name that organizes all the major auctions of watches. Whether we are talking about a Chinese antique watch or a Turkish masterpiece, you can be sure that Evan and his team of specialists will be able to determine its right value.
However, considering his passion for any kind of art, Evan is also thinking to expand the horizons of the company by implying it in other kinds of art auctions, such as paintings and sculptures. However, at least for the next period, the plans of the company are resumed to watches, as this field is the one where Evan Zimmermann excels.
Evan is always traveling. Sometimes, he just stops in an airport to evaluate a watch, and then he leaves with the next flight just to reach another client on another continent. Some evaluators prefer the modern internet methods that allow collectors to send pictures of the watches and other details instantly, but Evan Zimmermann says it is practically impossible to evaluate a watch without “feeling” it. The true collectors agree, and this is why they prefer to pay the trips for Evan, in order to benefit of his professional opinion.
In fact, one of the first achievements of Zimmermann at Antiquorum was to sell a wristwatch with an astonishing 4 million dollars, setting a new world record that is unlikely to be broken in the near future. However, he considers the greatest achievement of his life the selling of a pocket watch that belonged to Gandhi for two million dollars, and having the respective watch on his rap sheet.
