Grading
We draw your attention to the fact that our grading system of
items is solely for information purposes and represents our opinion
of the condition of the item. In no way does this constitute
a guarantee or a statement of fact for which Auktionen Dr. Crott
can be made liable. In addition Auktionen Dr. Crott will accept no
liability for incomplete information or a wrong representation of
an item.
All catalogued items are carefully examined and assessed. Age
and rarity are taken into consideration as well as the esthetic and
technical aspects, also in regard to the technical innovations at
the period of manufacture.
Mixed Lots
For our mixed lots (collections) we are only able to supply a detailed description with condition report and photographs of
the most valuable piece in the lot; the reported condition cannot be implied for the other pieces, for which we
supply photographs on our web site
at www.uhren-muser.com. Please note that the estimate is based on the total value of all pieces in the lot
and reflects the quality of the complete bundle.
Special Materials
We advise our customers that a number of countries
prohibit the importation of objects made of or containing
materials from endangered species such as (but not
limited to) coral, ivory, tortoiseshell and rare tropical woods. We therefore
recommend that you familiarise yourself with all customs
regulations before you bid on any such object, if you
intend to import the object into another country.
Wristwatch Straps
Please be advised that straps made of material derived from endangered or
otherwise protected species (ie. alligator and crocodile) are not sold with the
watches and are for display purposes only. We reserve the right to remove these
straps prior to shipping.
Art Loss Register
The Art Loss Register (ALR) is an evolving, computerized international database
which captures information about lost and stolen art, antiques and collectables.
All items consigned with Dr. Crott Auctioneers are carefully checked for provenance
by our experts as well as with the Art Loss Register.
