ADVISORY

Collection counsel

An ongoing relationship rather than a transaction. Annual review, market valuation, trade coordination, and succession planning for watches intended to outlive you.

THE PROBLEM

Most collections are a drawer and a memory.

Serial numbers go unrecorded. Service history lives in a shoebox. Papers are separated from the watch. When the collection eventually passes to someone, they inherit a valuation problem alongside the pieces.

Advisory exists to prevent that. We keep the record so your family does not have to reconstruct it.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Retained annually.

Collection review

A documented inventory: reference, serial, condition, completeness of box and papers, and current service status.

Market valuation

Refreshed annually against realised sales, in a format your insurer and your estate attorney can both use.

Service coordination

Scheduling with the right watchmaker for the movement, and keeping the record of what was done and when.

Upgrade and trade

When a piece has stopped earning its place, we run the exit and the replacement together.

Milestone sourcing

Anniversaries, graduations, births. We keep the dates and start early, which is when the good examples are available.

Succession planning

Which piece goes to whom, documented alongside the provenance, so the intention survives you.

CORPORATE

Executive recognition and gifting.

We work with companies marking a retirement, a founding anniversary, or a senior appointment. Sourcing runs the same way, with an invoice and documentation your finance team can process, and a disclosed fee rather than a hidden margin.
