BIOGRAPHY OF A ROOM
The biggest moments at auction houses are often the ones the public doesn't see. They happen before the hammer comes down, in private rooms amid hushed conversations, as specialists explain why they are the best guardians of invaluable treasures. The setting for these exchanges matters immensely—and at Sotheby's, that space just got an upgrade.

Starr says in our story, which showcases the apartment he created with designer Charlie Ferrer.

ARCHITECTURE OF TIME
Everyone loves a good comeback. With the 2025 Privé Tank à Guichets, Cartier has resurrected one of its archives' most eccentric pieces. The Guichets (French for “ticket window”) is the classic Tank reduced to almost elemental form. Released in 1928 at the height of the Art Deco era and famously worn by Duke Ellington, the timepiece has no dial and no hands—just two tiny apertures displaying hours and minutes. Nearly a century later its bold minimalism still feels like a challenge to watchmaking writ large.
