About
A small circle, by design.
The Collectors Circle was founded in Zurich in 2018 out of a shared passion for rare watches, and out of a gap: collectors had plenty of dealers and very few advisors.
We started with what we knew: sourcing the pieces that friends and clients could not find, verifying them properly and handing them over without noise. The network grew with every mandate. Today it spans manufactures, private collectors, marque specialists and auction houses across Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.
We hold no stock and represent no brand. That is deliberate. It means our advice has one direction: yours. Since 2018 we have advised more than forty private collectors and family offices, on single acquisitions and on entire collections.
The Circle stays small because trust does not scale. Members meet us in person, in Zurich or wherever the piece is. The Vault, our members' platform, carries that same principle into a private space online.
A word from the founder
We started because collectors had plenty of dealers and very few people on their side. The Circle is small on purpose. Every piece we place, we would have bought ourselves.
