One of the biggest private collections of Swatch watches in the world will go under the hammer●1 in Hong Kong and is expected to fetch more than US$1.3 million.
一個私人收藏，數量舉世數一數二的史瓦奇表，將在香港拍賣，預料拍賣所得將超過130萬美元。
The massive collection of more than 5,800 Swatch watches will be sold as at Sotheby.
這巨量收藏有5800多隻史瓦奇，將在蘇富比拍賣。
Luxembourg-based Paul Dunkel, 68, has spent more than two decades tracking down almost all the watches Swatch created in its first 25 years.
68歲的盧森堡人登克爾花費20多年，幾乎盡得史瓦奇最初25年設計的所有手表。
"For me, it's not possible to continue (collecting).It's so much work. The young people must continue,"he said.
「我不可能繼續收藏，很花工夫，得靠年輕人來，」他說。
"The collection was just in a safe●2 and no-one could see it, what is the point of that?" he said, adding that he hopes the buyer will put it on show to the public.
「這些收藏鎖在保險櫃裡，誰都看不到，有何意義？」他說。他希望買家展覽給大家看。
Dunkel's obsession started in the 1980s. Already a collector of abstract art, he realised that some of his favourite artists were designing for Swatch, so he began collecting the watches and related artwork.(AFP)
登克爾在1980年代開始迷史瓦奇。他本來就收藏抽象藝術，接著得知他最喜愛的幾位藝術家也為史瓦奇設計，就開始收集史瓦奇表和相關藝術作品。（法新社）
