Luxury watches from well-known manufacturers have been an exciting investment opportunity for several years. The popular steel models from Rolex are so out of stock that enthusiasts are willing to pay a considerable premium on the secondary market. Especially popular are watches that do not yet show any noticeable signs of wear and are in good condition. In cooperation with our partners, we can guarantee the authenticity and quality of our assets. 
 
Exclusivity 
The watch should have been produced by one of the well-known Swiss watch manufacturers and should also enjoy a certain degree of recognition among buyers. In the best case, we buy a watch that is not directly accessible on the secondary market and can therefore be sold profitably at the end of the investment horizon. 
 
Quality 
When buying watches, we make sure that the watch has never been worn or is in very good condition. Furthermore, we only buy watches for which the original papers and packaging (the so-called box) are included in the purchase price. This is the only way we can guarantee the authenticity of the watch. 
 
Production quantities 
The most exciting watches are those that are only produced in small quantities or for which we assume that production will cease completely within our investment horizon. As soon as this happens, we can offer our investments on the secondary market with a price premium.

Splint Invest Platform Fee 
Compensation for the tokenization of the assets, the maintenance as well as the further development of the application and the costs related to the research and maintenance of the expert network. 
 
Variable costs 
To ensure the highest standards of storage, maintenance and insurance, we undertake to make all arrangements ourselves on your behalf. However, these costs will be shared proportionately between the splint owners. For example, if you own 1% of the watch, you will be charged 1% of the relevant costs. No additional payment is required. The splint price of 50 EUR already takes into account the running costs, which we have to pay in advance. The remainder is included in the profit calculation at the end of the investment horizon. For further details and breakdowns, please see the factsheet. 
 
Exit fee 
We charge a flat fee of 2% on sales. This includes sales on the secondary market. This fee covers our costs of maintaining the secondary market and organising the sale of the assets at the end of the contract on our side. There is no performance fee. We aim to select assets that offer steady and sustainable growth over the long term and avoid any incentive to take on more risk with your money.

The price of €12,150 includes shipping, handling, 7&nbsp;years of storage and insurance worth €700. €11,450 can be allocated to the watch.

Senior Client Advisor 
 
I am Sami Lachhab and I have been a Client Advisor for WatchBox Switzerland since 2018. Prior to Watchbox, I studied Watch Engineering for 3 years at the Engineering school of Neuchâtel. I began on the technical side and finished my Bachelor's degree with a Research and Development Project at Panerai. Prior to that, I worked in the Aeronautic/Medical industry near Zürich in the field of material processing in a technical laboratory of control. After over one year working there, I decided to jump into studies again in a field that fascinates me. I always knew I wanted to be in the sales field but I wanted to get my engineering degree before jumping into the sales world which I did by joining the WatchBox team right after the end of my studies. 
 
The development of such technically advanced instruments has always fascinated me. I then discovered the investment side of that business which is also very interesting, why certain models hold value when others don’t, helps to understand a lot about the industry. This understanding helps me give the right advice to my clients when it comes to making a decision on their next pieces. 
 
FPJ is driven in a very clever way in addition to the fact that quality and aesthetic codes are at their finest. This is a young brand that gets a place at the big player's table, and I respect that a lot. The consistency of their collections is a huge part of their success today. The Journe story is also very inspiring for today’s young talents which I think is very important for the future of the watch industry.

This is a concrete investment opportunity in which we have recalculated the expected performance given by the external expert (WatchBox Switzerland Ltd) and have thus checked whether a positive return can be expected after deducting all costs for storage and insurance. Furthermore, we have verified the existence, proper storage and insurance of the watch.
