Specialist Buyers of Luxury Watch Brands
Luxury watches are valued very differently from standard or mass-market timepieces. Accurate valuation depends on deep knowledge of individual brands, reference numbers, condition standards, and real-time market demand. As professional luxury watch buyers, we assess each watch on its own merits rather than relying on generic pricing models.
This brand-led approach ensures transparency, fair market valuations, and a smooth transaction for owners of high-value watches.

Below is a selection of the luxury watch brands we regularly buy. Each brand is supported by dedicated expertise and a clear understanding of current market demand.

Luxury Watch Brands We Do Not Currently Buy
While many brands produce high-quality watches, not all meet our buying criteria. We do not currently purchase watches from brands such as:
- Gerald Genta
- Graham
- Jaquet Droz
- Maurice Lacroix
- Nicolas Rieussec
- Perrelet
- Baume & Mercier
- Frederique Constant
- Raymond Weil
These decisions are based on market liquidity, resale demand, and pricing stability rather than build quality alone.
Smartwatches and Non-Luxury Watches
We do not buy smartwatches or lower-value watches, including Apple Watch, Samsung watches, or fashion-brand timepieces. Our expertise and services are dedicated solely to the luxury mechanical watch market.
