The Private Market

The most significant sales rarely reach public view. Ours are made between collectors, quietly and without hurry.

The Approach

How it works, in four stages.

01

Private brief

A confidential conversation about the watch you want to buy or sell, and what matters to you.

02

Private selection

Private approaches to established collectors, dealers and long-standing contacts. Terms and identities are kept private.

03

Verification

Independent authentication or a manufacturer inspection can be arranged on request. We describe condition as we find it, without embellishment.

04

Secure handover

Fully insured delivery, a private viewing where wanted, and settlement arranged directly with you.

Private search

Find a particular reference.

Tell us the reference, complication or rarity you want. We search off-market, to your timescale.

Private sale

Sell with discretion.

Consign a single piece or a collection for private sale. No public listings, no auction exposure and no unnecessary intermediaries.

The Standard

How we work.

We would rather inform than persuade. Every piece is described as it is, whether you buy it directly at a published price or through a private enquiry.

  • Two clear routes

    Buy a piece published with a price, or ask us to search privately. Both are handled with the same discretion.

  • Provenance-led

    We document a watch's history where we can, and say so where we cannot.

  • Condition-aware

    We report condition as we see it and leave the judgement to you.

  • Worldwide delivery

    Insured shipping and private viewings between London, Geneva and clients abroad.

  • Entirely discreet

    Enquiries, mandates and settlements are handled without public exposure.

Private Enquiry

Speak with a specialist.

We reply to every enquiry personally, and there is no obligation. Where a piece is marked Price on Application, pricing and commercial terms are provided once a specialist has reviewed the piece and the parameters.
