Frequently Asked Questions
We accept a wide range of pieces, and while our particular focus is on independent watchmakers and high-end brands, above all we look for quality within a piece, and a sense of rich history. If you believe that a piece may be of interest to us, please get in touch, and we will be happy to assess it.
Depending on the watch, the time taken to sell a piece can rely on a wide range of variables. The average sale time for one of our watches is 29 days, and thanks to our established credibility within the community and our wide reach, the turnaround time for a watch can often be faster than expected.
We take a data-driven approach to our valuations, relying on a wide range of benchmarks in addition to current market dynamics to narrow down the appropriate price for a piece. Several other factors are also taken into consideration, such as historical sales prices, the age and condition of the piece.
If you choose to consign your watch with us, we will essentially sell the watch on your behalf and take a 15% commission from the final sale price.
We source and sell watches globally. Our operations team can organise for your watch to reach us safely through insured shipping from all corners of the world.
