00:04 Today we present our CataWiki guide on what to buy and why in 2024.
00:10 This year we did something special, we asked a journalist from the New York Times, Nina Seagal,
00:17 to collaborate with our experts and identify what are the items not to be missed in 2024.
00:25 Our experts give us access to a precious heritage of knowledge
00:30 that varies in the most various categories, from fashion to design,
00:35 from collectibles to wines, to classic cars, to watches and so on.
00:42 We also make this expertise available to our buyers every day
00:47 so that it can be used to satisfy their passions.
00:52 The result of this guide is a document with many practical and useful tips
00:59 that aims to guide the collector, but not only, but also the enthusiast of unique special items
01:06 in the search for the must-have item of 2024.
01:10 In the guide you will find 51 must-have items that have been identified by our experts,
01:17 organized in 7 thematic areas.
01:20 Surely 2024 will see great sociocultural changes.
01:25 As far as the feelings that guide the collector are concerned,
01:30 which are passion and curiosity, these will always remain very strong
01:34 and therefore we expect a constant growth of the online auction market.
01:41 In this climate of socio-economic changes, we can identify some thematic areas
01:48 that will guide, in our opinion, according to our guide, the purchases.
01:53 Surely the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 will encourage buyers
01:58 to buy sports memorabilia celebrating the sports heroes of yesterday and today.
02:06 As far as fashion is concerned, the sober objects will predominate,
02:11 a more discreet luxury that prefers simple lines, but with high-quality materials.
02:19 As for art and design, we expect a renewed interest in objects
02:24 with bold shapes and colors and extra-large dimensions.
02:29 Our experts also expect the rediscovery of some instruments for the production of art
02:34 that bring back a more manual and less digital approach,
02:40 and therefore the use of analog photographic machines
02:44 rather than vintage musical instruments.
02:47 Another trend we can observe is the rediscovery of solid gold,
02:53 as a much more solid and stable investment asset
02:57 compared to the fluctuations of the current market and the external market.
03:02 There is also a renewed interest for all those nickel products
03:08 that have often been undervalued in the past or not valued enough.
03:13 As for wines, we are talking about Armagnac, some of the Jura's niche wines,
03:20 but also in art, those female artists who have never had much voice.
03:25 An example of these artists is Sonia Deleoné,
03:28 who has seen a renewed interest in her works in recent years.
03:37 Finally, as for the reinvented pop icons, this will also be an important theme,
03:43 as Marvel and Mattel have important productions planned for this year.
