As your personal contact in the tri-border region at Lake Constance, I offer you both local and global buying and selling of exclusive timepieces.
Because buying a watch is a matter of trust!
And that's what I stand for with my name.
Our philosophy
Time should always be a top priority—time for encounters with others and with oneself. Time to dream, to laugh, to love. Time to live. (Marion Schmickler)
For me, a wristwatch is not just a timepiece, but rather the jewel of modern times. It symbolizes prosperity, accompanies us daily, and is at the same time a safe haven in the stormy seas of today's fast-paced world.
In current uncertain times of economic and financial crises, as well as low interest rate policies, many investors are looking for risk-free investment opportunities. Besides traditional investment options such as land, real estate, or gold, which have seen enormous value increases due to high demand in recent years, exclusive wristwatches also offer high value increase potential. Through my specialization in this market, I offer you access to this alternative investment opportunity, with which you will also have your enjoyment.
I am happy to advise you individually, tailored to your personal needs and wishes.
As Winston Churchill once said: "The pessimist sees difficulties in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty."
