🚀 Get ready, motorsport fans! Christie's is gearing up to auction eight stunning watches that once graced the wrist of the legendary Formula 1 champion, Michael Schumacher. 🏁
The preview event in Geneva, Switzerland, had enthusiasts buzzing on Thursday, as the collection showcased timepieces from renowned watchmakers like Rolex, F.P. Journe, and Audemars Piguet. These aren't just any watches; they're pieces of racing history. ⌚️
Among the collection are two bespoke watches, custom-made for Schumacher and gifted by his Ferrari team principal, Jean Todt, during Christmas in 2003 and 2004. Talk about team spirit! 🎄
One standout is an F.P. Journe watch, reflecting Schumacher's remarkable seven Formula 1 driver's championships. This masterpiece is estimated to fetch up to two million Swiss francs ($2.21 million) when it goes under the hammer next week. 💰
Since his unfortunate accident in 2013, where Schumacher suffered a severe head injury while skiing, fans worldwide have been keeping the racing icon in their thoughts. This auction offers a unique glimpse into his storied career and personal treasures. ❤️
