Sell your watch at our auctions

We have been successfully holding watch auctions since 1973 and working hard on the quality of our service, watch descriptions and catalogues, which allows the best returns on each sale.

We reach buyers through multiple purchase options:

• Live auctions (highest returns, longest wait time, selective watches)
• Timed auctions (quick allocation to the auction, almost any watch can be accepted)
• Private Sales (large database of private buyers allows us to find a perfect one in minimal time)

We are the only ones to offer NO buyer's premium which motivates bidders!

Yes. However, if the price you want to reserve exceeds the estimation we provide, the commission will be charged as a back up in case the buyer for such price is not found.

There is no limitation for the brand, condition, presence of box and papers for the watches we accept. Each watch is considered individually. The true value of each watch will be known right after the initial estimation!

We cannot guarantee the sale of your watch at the next auction since the preparation of catalogue and announcement of lots takes place 1-2 months before the auction starts. Your watch will be included in the auction depending on its relevance to other pieces included, and also depending on how long before the auction your request was submitted. Your personal expert will provide you with a detailed timeline for your watch sale after you submit a form.

All our estimates are free. Please kindly note that we only provide estimates for items that have been identified by our specialists as potentially suitable for sale.

Yes, requesting an estimate is only the first step in selling your item.

We will answer an initial enquiry within 2 business days. On some occasions, if an item requires additional research, more time will be needed. In such special instances, you will be notified of the status of your submission.

If your item is suitable for sale, our specialists will contact you with provisional estimates and propose the most appropriate sale channel for your property.

All estimates are subject to a physical examination of the item, as well as changes in the watch market. Estimates are not formal documents for insurance, taxes or estate valuations and cannot be used as such.

The commission is charged based on the following model:

The payment will take place within 40 days after the end of the auction.

a) Ineichen has received the signed auction contract from the seller, stating the desired method of payment and the other information required for payment

b) payment of the entire purchase price by the buyer has been made in due time (Read section 7 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale to the Commission contract auction).

We can offer you two options:

1. Return the watch
2. Keep the watch for the next auction
