The luxury watch market can be noisy, fragmented, and difficult to compare. Two watches with the same
reference can differ meaningfully in condition, originality, completeness, and value.
Advisor of Time helps clients look past the listing and understand the watch itself. I evaluate the piece, the price,
the market, and the alternatives—then give you a clear recommendation.
Sometimes the right answer is to buy. Sometimes it is to negotiate. And sometimes it is to pass.
The goal is simple: make a confident decision you will still feel good about years from now.
Every collection deserves expertise.
Forty years advising clients to a successful financial future now informs every acquisition, evaluation, and recommendation. The same principles that govern sound financial decisions — patience, clarity, and rational analysis — guide every watch conversation.
Watch condition, authenticity, and proper market positioning remain the foundation of every decision. Buying a fine watch should feel informed, comfortable, and entirely free of pressure.
Whether acquiring, selling, or refining a collection, the process always begins the same way — with a thoughtful, unrushed conversation.
Every collection deserves expertise.

FAQS
Advisor of Time helps clients buy, sell, source, broker, consign, and evaluate luxury watches. The work is advisory first: understand the watch, the market, and your objective, then choose the most sensible path.
I work across the established luxury-watch market, with particular experience in brands such as Rolex, Omega, Cartier, IWC, Breitling, Tudor, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and others. If a watch is outside my normal lane,
I’ll tell you.
Authenticity and condition are fundamental to every transaction. Each watch is evaluated carefully, supporting documentation is reviewed when available, and additional professional verification can be arranged when appropriate. I describe material condition issues directly so you can understand what you are buying—not just how it photographs.
Start with a conversation and basic information about the watch: reference, year if known, condition, box and papers, service history, and photographs. I’ll review the current market and explain the practical options. Depending on the watch and your priorities, that may mean a direct purchase, brokerage, or consignment. We agree on the process before anything moves forward.
Yes. If you know what you want, I can source the reference and help compare examples on condition, completeness, price, and seller quality. If you are still deciding, I can also help narrow the field before we search.
Because the lowest price is not always the best watch, and the most polished listing does not always show the most important details. Independent advice helps you compare the watch in front of you with the broader market—and decide whether it is actually the right one.
