Luxury watches from well-known manufacturers have been an exciting investment opportunity for several years. According to reports from the Boston Consulting Group, these watches recorded an average annual appreciation of 20% between 2018 and 2023, positioning them significantly ahead of the S&amp;P 500 (8% per year). 
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 timepiece celebrating the 45th Apollo 13 anniversary features a white dial with dedicated comic strip inscriptions and a Snoopy decorating the 9 o'clock sub-dial. Why a Snoopy? NASA awarded Omega with the Silver Snoopy Award. This award is handed out for significant contributions to NASA's space programs and therefore is a synonym for outstanding performance, contributing to flight safety and mission success. The inscription asks: "What could you do in 14 seconds?" - a nod to the amount of time it took the astronauts of Apollo 13 to perform one of their mid-course corrections. 
 
A 925 silver Snoopy medallion surrounded by alluring dark blue enamel is presented on the back of the case. To give the impression that Snoopy is floating in space, a silver powder is sprinkled manually on each caseback. This is what makes each of the 1,970 pieces a unique one. 
 
In previous models, the calibre 861 was used. For our reference, Omega integrated the calibre 1,861, a natural evolution of the previous calibre. The new calibre has a higher corrosion-resistant rhodium-plating.

The price of € 44,650 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of € 3,950. € 40,700 can be allocated to the watch.

Omega, Speedmaster Moonwatch “Snoopy”

The Omega brand was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-De-Fonds, a small Swiss village, with the intention of placing passion and precision at the heart of watchmaking. These values are embodied in the limited anniversary tribute to the first manned moon landing, making it a special collector's item. 
 
This edition is limited to just 1,970 pieces.

Track Record

The world’s leading watch house, The 1916 company is home to the greatest collection of luxury watches, all certified authentic and Collector Quality.

The 1916 company is not a marketplace, they are the market leader. This means they own every watch they sell, allowing them to set superior standards across the globe. With offices in the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, and beyond, their selection is ever-changing with thousands of luxury watches available at any given time. 
 
Unrivaled Selection 
The 1916 company is not a marketplace; they own every watch that they sell. This allows The 1916 company to implement a true global quality standard, and as one of the largest buyers of pre-owned watches worldwide, their selection is ever-changing with thousands of pieces from the best brands available.

The 1916 company

Senior Client Advisor 
 
I am Sami Lachhab and I have been a Client Advisor for The 1916 company Switzerland since 2018. Prior to The 1916 company , 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 The 1916 company 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 an 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.
