We look across a variety of legitimate and data-based benchmark including past consignments, auction results, dealer to dealer wholesale groups and prior retail sales.

The specific model of your watch and condition also plays a major role as does provenance and accompanying accessories.

We will ask for close-up images of your watch and our consignment process will also include a detailed inspection to ensure condition is as discussed.

We accept a wide variety of models, and whilst our particular focus is on independent watchmakers and established luxury brands, we do look for quality, provenance and a sense of history in all the watches we accept.

If you believe that a piece may be of interest to us, please get in touch with us and we will be happy to assess it.

All our consignment agreements are initially set out for 2 months and can be extended monthly based on your requirements.

We find that this is typically enough to sell your watch and often turnaround is even faster than this.

The time taken to sell your watch is based on a variety of factors including market conditions and price so can only be assured once the watch has been consigned.

We are based in Hong Kong so there is no import duty for you to send your timepiece to us for consignment. ​​​​

For any other transactions, please note that customs charges, as well as any associated import tax, VAT, or duties as required by your local jurisdiction are the buyer’s responsibility.

All watches are double-boxed to avoid damage in transit, fully insured for the value of the watch and shipped using our trusted shipping partners.

Based on our volume, you will find that our shipping rates are lower than what you would expect when shipping retail. No watches are held onsite and are vaulted in a fully insured facility as soon as they are received and advertised.

We welcome trades against the watches owned by us; however, since we are largely focused on specific modern and neo-vintage models, this is dependent on the particular watch you would like to consign with us.

We cannot unfortunately accept trades against watches consigned with us although we are always happy to ask consignees it they would be willing to do this.
