A search in
four movements.

  1. Write the brief

    Tell us what you are after — an exact reference or a loose idea — and place a $30 refundable deposit to open the search.

  2. We clarify

    Within one business day we reply with questions, likely price range, and how realistic the hunt is. Nothing starts until you agree.

  3. We search

    Trusted dealers, Japanese auction houses, and private collections. We only forward candidates we would list ourselves.

  4. You decide

    Photographs, measurements, and a condition report before any commitment. The deposit comes off the final price.

The kind of thing we find.

Before you commission a search

What does the $30 deposit actually do?

It opens a real search file and covers the first round of enquiries. It is credited against the watch you buy, and refunded in full if we cannot find one or you change your mind.

How long does a search take?

Common references can surface in days. Rarer pieces in honest condition can take months. We will tell you which you are asking for before we begin.

Do you only source Japanese watches?

Mostly, because that is where our network is deepest. Swiss and American pieces are welcome; we will be candid about our reach.

Will the watch be inspected like your listed pieces?

Yes. Anything we forward is measured, timed, and photographed in hand, with a written condition report, before you decide.
