In the seventies and eighties Ineichen Auctioneers, a small but now highly renowned auctionhouse realized several world records at auctions, especially for pocket watches. During the last 30 years auctions for jewellery, scientific instruments and tin toys have been added. During the November 1997 auctions Ineichen Auctioneers organized a highly regarded exhibition on "Abraham Louis Breguet, 1747-1823"
