Sell or exchange your timepiece
Whether you're seeking to liquidate or upgrade, we offer both direct purchase and exchange programs for exceptional watches.
Your options
We provide two pathways for collectors looking to part with their timepieces. For those seeking immediate liquidity, our direct purchase program offers fair market value in cash. Alternatively, our exchange program allows you to apply the full value of your timepiece toward acquiring another watch from our collection.
Each piece submitted—whether for sale or exchange—undergoes meticulous examination by our master horologists, who assess not only its mechanical integrity but also its historical significance and collector appeal. The valuation reflects current market dynamics, rarity factors, and the piece's position within the collector hierarchy.
Our methodology
Authentication & examination
Every timepiece enters our authentication protocol, where our specialists verify provenance, examine movement authenticity, and document condition with precision. We inspect dial originality, case integrity, bracelet authenticity, and service history to establish the piece's true standing.
Market analysis
Our valuation methodology synthesizes auction results, private sale data, and market trends specific to your timepiece's reference and production period. We factor in rarity, completeness of set (box, papers, accessories), and the piece's desirability among serious collectors.
Purchase or exchange offer
Upon completion of our evaluation, you receive either a direct purchase offer in cash or an exchange credit that can be applied toward any timepiece in our collection. Both options recognize the full value of your piece, with exchange credits providing immediate access to our curated selection of rare and exceptional watches.
