Rare Watch Sourcing in Zurich

Speak to BeckonA named concierge, not a call centre

Luxury Watches in Zurich

Zurich is the centre of Swiss private banking and the most discreet money in Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, insurance, commodities trading and watchmaking, and the members we look after here are typically families with Swiss banking relationships going back decades.

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 an established general aviation presence, and discretion here is a professional standard rather than a preference.

Held locally

How this works in Zurich.

  • Requests from Zurich 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 Zurich on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.
