Watches

Time, considered.

— The practice

For the piece you have been searching for over ten years, or the one you wish to part with, we manage the entire horological journey. International sourcing, authentication, negotiation, personal hand-carry, and delivery to your home.

— The service

A complete service, from search to delivery.

01

Personalised sourcing

You tell us the reference, the year, the desired condition. We activate our international network, whether through private collectors, auction houses, authorised dealer partners or the institutional secondary market. The search continues until the piece is identified, and each candidate is verified, photographed and authenticated before being presented to you.

Engaged on a fee basis, set in advance according to the complexity of the search and the value of the piece. Terms agreed before any work begins.

02

Boutique pick-up, anywhere in the world

A piece awaits you in Geneva, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Dubai or New York? We take the flight. We present ourselves in person at the boutique or with the seller, conduct the physical inspection, sign the transaction and leave with the watch. No intermediary, no courier, no transit risk.

Flight, on-site travel and in-person signing included in the engagement.

03

Hand-delivery, to your home

We hand the piece to you directly at your home, your office, or the location of your choosing. By appointment, anywhere in Europe, and elsewhere on request. Never by courier. Always in person, by the same individual who handled the acquisition.

Worldwide coverage, subject to logistical and customs considerations.

04

Buying and discreet resale

Looking to part with a piece from your collection? We identify the buyer within our network of collectors and connoisseurs, off-market and off-platform. Valuations are grounded in recent comparables from the institutional secondary market. Every transaction is documented, secured, and conducted with the same discretion as a search.

05

Authentication and provenance

Every piece that passes through our hands undergoes complete verification: authentication of the movement and case, papers and serial-number cross-check, history search, and where complexity or value warrants it, independent expertise from a certified horologist.

— Process

Six steps, end to end.

From the first conversation to the handing-over of the watch, every step is conducted directly, without relay or handoff, by the person with whom you first engaged.

01

Initial conversation

You describe the piece you are looking for, or the one you wish to sell. We agree together on scope, fees and timeline.

02

Search and identification

We activate our network until candidates are identified. Each lead is verified and documented before being presented to you.

03

Physical inspection

We travel in person to examine the piece, wherever it sits, and conduct the authentication on site.

04

Negotiation and acquisition

We negotiate the terms and conduct the transaction in your name, within the scope agreed upfront.

05

Hand-carry

The piece travels with us, under personal custody, all the way to your home. No courier, no third-party shipper.

06

Hand-delivery

We deliver the watch on the date and at the location agreed, together with the full documentation.
