Michael Schumacher

Michael Schumacher se sépare de ses montres les plus luxueuses. Véritable amateur d’horlogerie, au fil des années, le pilote a réussi à monter une collection de garde-temps importante, rassemblant quelques-unes des pièces les plus rares du marché. Aujourd’hui, sa famille a décidé de les proposer aux enchères. Huit des montres de la légende de la Formule 1 seront exposées à New York du 2 au 5 mai, le week-end du Grand Prix de Miami, avant d’être vendues aux enchères à Genève, en Suisse, le 13 mai, par la maison spécialisée Christie’s. Le montant total de la vente pourrait atteindre les 4,8 millions de dollars, a précisé l’entreprise de vente. «La famille Schumacher a décidé de se séparer de certaines montres de la collection, estimant que les collectionneurs seraient en mesure d’apprécier la valeur réelle des pièces», a déclaré à CNN Remi Guillemin, le responsable des montres chez Christie’s. «Nous sommes vraiment très heureux d’avoir ces montres et d’avoir pu collaborer avec la famille», a-t-il ajouté.

Grand Luxe

La collection du sportif fera partie de la vente aux enchères traditionnelle de montres rares de Christie’s, comprenant notamment des modèles Audemars Piguet, F.P. Journe et Rolex. Parmi les pièces de l’ancien pilote, une en particulier se démarque: une F.P. Journe Vagabondage 1 en platine, estimée à plus de 2 millions de dollars, soit la moitié de la valeur de l’ensemble de la collection.

Décrite comme «une des montres les plus emblématiques jamais fabriquées par Rolex», la Paul Newman Daytona en acier inoxydable devrait atteindre sans mal les 440 000 dollars. La Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, elle, pourrait se vendre 280 000 dollars. Cette pièce-ci avait été commandée pour le septuple champion du monde de F1 par Jean Todt, l’ancien PDG de Ferrari et mentor de la première heure du sportif. Offerte à Michael Schumacher à Noël 2003, ses caractéristiques célèbrent les six titres de champion du monde qu’il avait remportés à ce moment-là, explique Christie’s dans un communiqué. Le cadran est entouré de six étoiles et le célèbre cheval cabré de Ferrari et le casque rouge du pilote s’y glissent également en détail. «C’est une montre unique, a précisé Remi Guillemin. Quand on la voit de loin, on sait que c’est quelque chose de spécial et qu’elle parle à Michael Schumarer.»

La montre Vagabonde 1 en platine lui a également été offerte par Jean Todt, cette fois au Noël de l’année suivante. La raison ? Honorer sa septième victoire au championnat du monde. Le cadran rouge vif accueille ainsi un symbole supplémentaire soulignant ce nouvel exploit. «Ces montres sont destinées aux personnes qui suivent la Formule 1, qui ont suivi, comme moi, Michael Schumacher lorsqu’il courait. C’est un véritable objet de mémoire et d’histoire», a précisé le responsable des montres de la maison de vente.
