Rare Watch Sourcing in Geneva

Luxury Watches in Geneva

Geneva is the other half of Swiss private banking, and the diplomatic capital of Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, commodities, watchmaking and international institutions, and the members we look after here are typically principals with banking relationships and often a residence nearby.

A piece is sourced rather than waited for. We work through dealers, auction houses and private collections, arrange authentication before money moves, and handle import and insurance.

Practically, an international airport with one of Europe's busiest business aviation terminals, and the watch and commodity trades both run through here.

Held locally

How this works in Geneva.

  • Requests from Geneva reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
  • Provenance is verified independently before purchase.
  • Where something cannot be arranged in Geneva on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.
