Family Offices & Wealth Managers · Watch Advisory · Independent Fiduciary
Watches Are in Your Client's Asset Picture.
Most frameworks aren't built to handle them.
Estates turn over. Liquidity events create collections. Generational wealth includes pieces nobody has documented in decades. When that surfaces, the usual options — jewelers, auction houses, dealers — each come with their own agenda.
What's missing is someone who operates as a fiduciary.
I advise family offices and wealth managers as an independent specialist — with a clear obligation to my client's interests and the market knowledge to back it up. I know who the serious buyers are, how they operate, what questions to ask, and where the conflicts are buried. That context is what separates accurate advice from an expensive guess.
What I Do
Independent Valuations
What watches are actually worth in today's private market — not an insurance estimate, not a dealer's offer. A number you can rely on, with full transparency about how I arrived at it.
Discreet Liquidation
Private placement directly with serious collectors. No public listings. No auction timelines. Your client's name stays out of it entirely. When I occasionally carry inventory myself, that relationship is disclosed upfront — you always know where I stand.
Collection Documentation
Archival photography, condition reports, and provenance records for clients with significant holdings. The kind of documentation that protects value and prepares estates.
Estate Transition
When watches are part of an estate, I work alongside your existing advisors — attorneys, trust officers, family principals — to assess, document, and resolve the asset cleanly.
Introducing a specialist to a client relationship requires trust. I understand that.
You reach out with the situation. I assess it and tell you clearly what you're dealing with — before anything is decided, before any pressure to move. Everything proceeds at the pace that makes sense for your client.
Nothing about your client's situation leaves the scope of our engagement.
Why This Is Different
Most people in this market are selling something — inventory, a consignment slot, an auction estimate designed to get the listing. The advice is shaped by the outcome they need.
I'm structured differently. My value is the quality of the counsel and the accuracy of the call — I'll tell you to hold just as readily as I'll tell you to sell. I know this market's participants, its politics, and the right questions to ask. That's what allows me to navigate it entirely in your client's interest. That's a different kind of relationship. And for the right situation, it's the only one that makes sense.
