Whether through his private, online or retail outlets, there is a pretty high chance that you’ve either seen or owned one of his watches over the years. Bourn’s speciality, though, is assisting clients in building investment-grade vintage watch collections.

So, when a very private collector decided he wanted to focus his watch collecting on the special-order watches that were delivered to the Middle Eastern region, in particular vintage Rolex watches with an Oman connection, he turned to Bourn for his expertise and guidance in building the collection. The resulting collection, curated by Bourn, is most likely the single most important of its kind and Revolution was given an exclusive opportunity to explore some of the collection in greater detail.

“The client, a European collector with a background in finance, has been collecting art, furniture and watches for the last 30 years,” explains Bourn. “Each of his sub-collections is primarily focused on blue chip artists or brands within the specific period of the 1960s to 1990s. His overall objective is that each collectible must personally resonate with him and absolutely be the best example available, with either great provenance, an interesting back story … or ideally both!”

Within this gentleman’s private art collection, the focus has been on original works from Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, Wesselmann, Warhol, Basquiat and Haring. A sculpture collection encompasses the works of Rembrandt, Bugatti and extensive works by more contemporary artists such as Giacometti and Yves Klein. Furniture is another passion, with a strong mid-century influence incorporating examples by Prouvé, Corbusier, Perriand and Royère. A gentleman collector, in the truest sense.
