The contents of the Southern French château of late luxury watch entrepreneur Severin Wunderman are going under the hammer next month for an estimated price tag of up to £180,000 (€209,524). The 225-lot sale of weird and wonderful items from the 12-bedroom Château Montfort, will take place at London auction house Bonhams in Knightsbridge at the end of June. The auction is expected to raise between £122,000 and £180,000 with all proceeds going to the Severin Wunderman Family Foundation, a charity that supports research into incurable diseases.

It will be the third in a series of sales of Wunderman's remarkable collection: the contents of his California and Chelsea homes fetched $500,000 and £889,902 at Bonhams auctions last year.
