House · Source
Source a rare reference.
Most collectors' watches never reach a public listing — they move quietly between collectors and through specialists. Sourcing is a private-market problem, not a search problem: the house works to your brief — reference, series, condition and budget — and returns examples with provenance documented before a number is discussed. Each is authenticated against manufacturer reference, and the purchase settles through escrow. Because the house holds no stock, it has no reason to push the example that happens to be available rather than the one you actually want.
Questions
How do you source a rare watch?
Most collectible watches never reach a public listing; they move between collectors. The house works the private market to a brief and brings back examples with provenance documented before a number is discussed. Each is authenticated and the purchase settles through escrow.
Can you find a discontinued or waitlisted reference?
Discontinued references trade in the private market rather than a boutique — exactly where sourcing works. The house will say honestly when a brief is unrealistic in a given quarter rather than chase it at any cost.
