Anyone who follows art, watch, jewellery or design auctions runs into the same problem: the sales are spread across a hundred different auction-house websites. Christie's, Sotheby's, Phillips, Bonhams, Bukowskis, Dorotheum — each publishes its own schedule, in its own layout, on its own page. There's no shared calendar, so it's easy to find out about a sale the day after it closed.
I built HammerAlert to fix that.
One place for every house
HammerAlert tracks upcoming auctions across 150+ houses worldwide and lets you browse them by category, region, or house — no account needed. Thousands of upcoming sales sit in one consistent view instead of a hundred different ones.
Set your preferences once
When you sign in, you choose what you actually care about:
- Categories — jewellery, watches, modern & contemporary art, prints, design…
- Regions — UK, Europe, US, Asia & Pacific
- Specific houses — follow only the ones you buy from
Everything else gets filtered out, so you're not drowning in sales you'll never bid on.
Keep it in your own calendar
This is the part I use most. Instead of another dashboard to remember to check, HammerAlert gives you a personal calendar feed:
hammeralert.com/api/calendar/your-personal-token.ics
Add that URL once to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook and your upcoming auctions show up next to everything else. When the schedule changes, the calendar updates on its own — no re-importing.
Alerts when timing matters
On top of the calendar there's a weekly email digest and per-auction alerts for the sales you don't want to miss as they get close.
Why one calendar beats a hundred tabs
- No more checking individual house websites
- One filtered view of the whole market
- Auctions live in the calendar you already use
- Updates follow automatically
If you track auctions for work or for a collection, browse the index first and build your own calendar here: hammeralert.com.
