Evan Zimmermann Leads a Company to Setting World Records

Evan Zimmermann is known for being an extremely successful corporate architect that has proven himself to be one of the best entrepreneurs the world has seen. This statement doesn’t come easily and it’s definitely one that doesn’t come without evidence. One of the best highlights of his career to this day is when he stepped foot into the offices of Antiquorum and started taking the company to heights that weren’t ever expected.

It all started when Evan Zimmermann brought the sales of Antiquorum from $22 million to $100 million in just two years. Not many people can do this, but for Evan Zimmermann it seemed to be the start of setting high standards for Antiquorum so that it would become one of the most successful online auction houses that sold vintage timepieces that collectors gather around in an effort to get their hands on the ones that they want the most.

While increasing the sales by millions of dollars is quite a feat in itself, this was just the beginning after all. Evan Zimmermann is a type of leader that was known to produce great results on a repeated basis. This is probably what led him to seeking out the biggest sales of vintage watches that the world has ever seen which would end up producing a reputation for Antiquorum that would truly prove them to be the best among the rest.

While Antiquorum had some pretty notable sales under the direction of Evan Zimmermann, there are two that really stood out. The reason being is that they would land Antiquorum to be the ones to break some pretty strong world records in the world of vintage timepieces.

The first one was the sale of a 1939 Platinum Patek Philippe World Time Ref. 1415 for a total of over $4 million dollars. The world record that this set was an all-time world record of the sale of a wristwatch at auction. In fact, Antiquorum sold this for more than double of what the wristwatch that held the previous world record was sold for at auction.

The second record that was broken was for a Rolex Submariner watch. The one that was sold by Antiquorum was owned by Steve McQueen and it sold for a total of $234,000 which was the highest priced ever seen for this particular reference.

This just goes to show that when you have a true leader running the company, anything can be achieved and Evan Zimmermann is one of the very few that can be considered as a true leader. The success has just begun for Antiquorum and as long as they have Evan Zimmermann on their side, it seems that they will be able to break many more world records to come.
