Retonio Breitenmoser and Richard Singh, founders of the Dutch Auction Company, will be holding a kind of networked classic car auction for the first time on September 28, 2024. The auction will take place simultaneously at two locations in two countries - with bidding in the hall and the option to bid online. The main venue is Degersheim in Switzerland. The auctioneers will be present and bidding will be possible on site.
The second venue is in Tilburg in the Netherlands, where the Dutch Auction Company traditionally operates. Bidding is also possible in the hall here. The colleagues on stage in Tilburg will pass on the bids to the auctioneers in Degersheim via a direct line and live stream connection with the auctioneers in Degersheim, Switzerland.
For those unable to attend in person, Dutch Auction Company will provide comprehensive online bidding options so that international participants can join the exciting event from anywhere in the world.
"With this unique auction setup, we offer multiple buyer groups in the perfect setting for a successful auction for sellers as well. Participants can look forward to an elegant atmosphere with drinks, catering and live entertainment," explains co-initiator Retonio Breitenmoser.
