Sourcing & Acquisitions
A watch with a waiting list, a painting, a car, something you cannot find. We look for it, check it, and buy it for you.
The good pieces are rarely on public sale. We go through dealers, auction houses and private owners, check where a piece comes from and what state it is in, and only show you what we have verified.
Once you decide, we negotiate, pay, insure and ship it. The seller does not need to know who is buying. And if we cannot find it, we tell you.
The kind of thing we are asked
- A specific steel sports watch, without the waiting list.
- A painting by an artist we saw at Art Basel.
- A classic car, inspected before anyone pays.
- A rare whisky for a birthday.
- A second look at a piece someone is offering us privately.
- A first edition of a book my father loved.
Questions
How do you charge for sourcing?
We agree the fee before we start, and you only pay it if we find what you asked for.
Do you buy on my behalf?
Yes, once you decide. We handle the negotiation, the payment, the insurance and the delivery.
Will the seller know who I am?
Not unless you want them to.
Tell us what you need.
We read every message ourselves and usually reply within the hour.
