As the year winds down, December 2025 is shaping up as a refined, dialogue-driven month in the world of fine jewelry and horology. It’s not about massive trade shows, but about single-owner presentations, holiday preview auctions, collector salons, boutique trunk shows, and intimate gatherings. Auction houses often stage high-jewelry sales timed for the holiday season, while watch clubs and boutique events lean into year-end celebrations and community meetups. For travelers and collectors, December provides an opportunity to weave in quiet gems (pun intended) — from Sotheby’s inaugural Breuer Building jewelry auction to local RedBar chapter dinners — into a polished itinerary.

  1. Sotheby’s — Important Watches (New York) - 8 December 2025

  2. Sotheby’s — “High Jewelry” (New York) - 9 December 2025

  3. Sotheby’s — The Gem Drop (New York) - 8 December 2025

  4. Sotheby’s — Fine Watches (London) - 17 December 2025


  5. Christie’s U.S. / New York - Magnificent Jewels - 10 December 2025

  6. Freeman’s / Hindman Auctions – Important Jewelry - 11 December 2025

  7. Doyle Auction House – Fine Jewelry / Estate Jewelry Sales - 9 December 2025


December 2025 invites a more contemplative, high-touch approach to collecting — fewer massive trade fairs, more selective auctions, curated previews, and collector conversations. With Sotheby’s staking a claim in New York via its evening jewelry sale and high jewelry auctions, and clubs like RedBar continuing their localized chapters, the month becomes an elegant journey through the year’s final treasures. Use this list as your framework, then layer in city-specific auctions and meetup dates as they firm up.
