Source with Us
If we don’t have the watch you’re looking for online, use our sourcing service to track it down. In our industry, the best watches aren’t always advertised for sale online or offered through public sales. They often sit within large private collections or with specialist dealers who focus on specific eras and models. We’re directly connected with these collectors and dealers, allowing us to help you find exceptional and incredibly rare watches that are difficult to access publicly.
What is sourcing, how does it benefit collectors, and how do we do it?
Sourcing is helpful for collectors that can’t find the watch they want online. When sourcing with Foster & Sohne, we pinpoint and narrow down the search to collectors and industry scholars we rub shoulders with. It’s a simple process. All we need is the reference number / model of the watch, the preferred year if appliacable, whether box and papers are a must for the watch, and also condition allowance.
Sourcing watches is an art. It’s built upon one thing: knowing where something is located and who has it. This comes with time in the watch world. As you get to know more clients and become friendly with collectors, you get access to these mind-blowing watches and rare collectables. If we can’t find it with our clients and collectors, we turn to our trusted network of industry friends.
