Worldwide sourcing

Authentication
Nothing leaves the desk unverified
Trust is the product. We do not sell watches that have not completed a full file, and we do not hide behind a vague “guaranteed genuine”.
- 01
Craft and finish
Case, bezel, crown, bracelet, dial printing and lume decay — checked against factory standards.
- 02
Movement and numbers
Serial, case and calibre numbers are cross-checked. The caseback is opened when the file requires it.
- 03
Provenance
Warranty card, invoice, service history and chain of custody. Unclear origin does not ship.
The atelier promise
The standard we hold a collector to
I
Headliners only
Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Cartier — maisons with a long secondary-market consensus.
II
Stock and search
Core references can be viewed by appointment. Rare numbers are sourced with a clear timeline.
III
Quiet delivery
Client names stay private. Insured international shipping or a agreed hand-over. No theatre.
IV
New Zealand entity
Trades sit with a registered NZ company. Contracts, invoices and aftercare have a paper trail.
V
Aftercare
We can introduce official service, and we remain available for condition notes and later resale advice.
VI
Market-true pricing
Quotes track recent reliable sales — not an inflated list. The watch, the papers and the market decide.
Client notes
From collectors who have been through the desk
“The Daytona arrived in five days, complete. The condition note matched the watch. No sales script.”
M. L. · Auckland
“They were clear about timeline and risk on a blue Nautilus. They did not promise what they could not do. That is why I stayed.”
K. C. · Singapore
“Three Submariners and a GMT on the table. The advisor knew the watches and knew when to stop talking. We opened the caseback, then we closed.”
H. W. · Sydney
