The purpose of Circular Design for the Earth and Us, means design for the Earth and for humankind. Under this purpose, Valuence Japan Inc. (Tokyo; Shinsuke Sakimoto, representative) aims to encourage more people to focus on what is most important in their lives. Today, Valuence Japan announced the completion of the 4th ALLU AUCTION (January 27, 2024) for general consumers, mainly dealing in rare and valuable timepieces.
ALLU AUCTION, From Japan to the World
Leveraging Valuence Group expertise in auction management, Valuence has launched a luxury timepiece auction house for the general public, ALLU AUCTION. The Inaugural Auction was held in January 2023, and the 4th Auction was held on January 27, 2024 at VALON BY VALUENCE, an art lounge for premium Valuence customers.
At the 4th Auction, Valuence recorded a new record high-bid of 59 million yen, an increase of more than 10 million yen than the previous record. The event was a great success, with participants also reaching record high numbers (including both on-site and off-site participants), causing the venue to increase the number of seats last minute. Despite the cold January weather, the venue was brimming with enthusiasm as in-bound customers attended, eager to raise their bidding paddles and bid on their target watches. Customers chatted enthusiastically with each other about watches at the venue, enabling ALLU AUCTION to become a place to build communities and provide new value.
Based on operations at past auctions, Valuence Holdings Inc. introduced a credit card payment option beginning from this auction to meet customer needs. ALLU AUCTION events provide customers an opportunity to purchase rare watches, providing enjoyable experiences, pride of ownership, and ease of bidding.
