The possessions of Severin Wunderman, the late owner of Corum watches who died in 2008, will be auctioned by Bonhams on June 23. The horologer's 12-bedroom, 16,000-square-foot chateau in the South of France was stocked with a wild array of goods from various centuries and continents, almost all of which will be going on the block.

The only things held in reserve will be the Jean Cocteau art collection, which won't be auctioned until September. The contents of Wunderman's other estates in California and England were sold last year, with all of the proceeds from those sales and this one going to his eponymous charity.
