Private Client Services
Tailored offerings for those building — and preserving — world-class collections.
Whether you're strategically seeking your next prized acquisition or carefully preparing a meaningful legacy, my advisory services deliver tailored, discreet guidance designed to align precisely with your collecting goals and values. Each offering provides confidential representation, meticulous sourcing, expert negotiation, and strategic management to protect and elevate your collection.
Annual Private Client Retainers
Expert Guidance. Transparent Terms. Immediate Value.
Your collection is more than an asset—it's your legacy. Protecting it demands thoughtful strategy, proven expertise, and unbiased guidance. I offer two distinct tiers of service, clearly structured and strategically priced to provide immediate and ongoing value.
Legacy Tier – Comprehensive Collection Stewardship
One relationship. Unlimited value. Your personal watch advisor — independent, aligned, and always in your corner.
This is a full-spectrum advisory relationship for collectors who value privacy, proactivity, and a single point of trust across all major watch decisions. From sourcing to exits, collection audits to legacy planning, I handle it all—on your behalf, and on your terms.
Pricing: $5,000/month ($60,000/year) — billed annually or quarterly for ease.
What’s Included:
Unlimited Advisory Access: Instant, priority access to my expertise whenever you need guidance.
Priority Sourcing Access: First access to the very best opportunities.
Preferential Success Fee (4%): Exclusive reduced success fee to maximize the value of every acquisition or sale, reflecting our committed partnership.
Collection Cataloging & Provenance Documentation: Detailed, archival-quality photos and comprehensive records documenting each piece’s history, provenance, and condition.
Quarterly Market Briefings: Tailored quarterly reports and strategic sessions providing actionable market insights specific to your collection.
Annual Comprehensive Portfolio Audit: A thorough, expert assessment of your entire collection’s value, condition, and strategic positioning, delivered in a confidential PDF dossier.
Personalized Collection Roadmap & Milestone Planning: Strategic planning sessions specifically aligned with your long-term collecting vision, personal milestones, and legacy objectives.
Collector Tier – Your Advisor On Call
Think of me as your personal watch advisor—on call, ready to ensure every acquisition is informed, intentional, and financially savvy. By meticulously sourcing, validating market value, and skillfully negotiating each transaction, my goal isn't just to find the right watch, but to secure it at the best possible price. The savings unlocked often cover the cost of this tier, turning your retainer into a strategic investment.
Pricing: $1,500/month, auto billed.

Precision Sourcing & Market Analysis: Detailed analysis to uncover true market value, helping you avoid overpaying or underselling.
Expert Negotiation: Skilled representation and negotiation, with a competitive 6% success fee on completed acquisitions and sales.
Annual Portfolio Review: Clear valuation insights paired with actionable strategies to maximize your collection’s value.
Strategic Market Intelligence: Tailored periodic updates aligned specifically with your collecting interests, keeping you informed on market trends and emerging opportunities.
Bespoke Engagements
Flexible, project-based services offering discreet guidance and negotiation for collectors who require expert representation for individual acquisitions — without the commitment of a long-term advisory relationship.
Bespoke Acquisition Services
This isn’t just a watch search—it’s trusted representation in a transaction that matters.
The watch market runs on relationships, nuance, and insider knowledge—but it rarely puts the collector first. I created this offering to address a clear gap: independent, aligned acquisition guidance that places your goals at the center of every decision. I act as your advisor and advocate, not your broker. Every recommendation is grounded in market intelligence, not sales incentives. Every negotiation is conducted with your long-term objectives in mind. The result: better watches, better terms, and peace of mind you won’t find anywhere else.
Pricing: 8% success fee per transaction, with a $1,500 initial deposit (credited toward success fee).
What’s Included:
Global sourcing from private collections, auctions, and off-market deals
Deep vetting of provenance, condition, and long-term value
Strategic positioning and negotiation
Secure delivery logistics worldwide
Cataloging & Provenance Documentation
These are your family jewels — protect them accordingly. Great documentation preserves their story, ensures their value, and prepares your heirs for what comes next.
Pricing: $250 per watch, $1000 minimum engagement.*
