From discreet vintage finds to modern independent grails, we’ve sourced thousands of watches on behalf of clients over the years. This page is a curated selection of a few that stayed with us—pieces that were unusually hard to track down, came with the right provenance at the right moment, or simply marked a milestone for the collector who commissioned them.
Each watch featured here has a story: the search, the chase, the decisions that mattered, and what ultimately made the piece worth owning. These are not necessarily the most expensive watches we’ve sourced—just some of the most memorable.
