Thanks for providing the link, Osnabreuck.

The collection was one of the best in the world. Unfortunately, it has been chopped up and sold by the lot. Sandberg's criteria for acquiring new watches was said to be very strict. I think he only acquired watches that were fifty-years-old or older. I wonder what he paid initially to assemble that collection. A couple million quid? It sold for $10+ million at 2001 prices.

I do remember reading about his auction when it was scheduled. If memory serves me correctly, there was a mention that he was sad to lose the collection, almost as if he had to sell it.
