Consign through Swiss Emporium

Swiss Emporium acts for the seller. We place the watch, advise on price and stay with you after the hammer. You do not deal with bidders yourself.

Collectors, not a general crowd

The room is invited. Guests are people who collect, trade and already know these brands.

One watch, one lot

An accepted watch is offered on its own, with its own reserve, not folded into a mixed lot.

A reserve you approve

Nothing is added to the catalog until you have agreed the figure and the terms.

Settlement without the chase

Heritage Only collects from the buyer and settles the sale. You are not left arranging payment or handover.

How consignment works

Four steps from enquiry to catalog. The first appraisal is complimentary, and you can decline at any point before the watch is listed.

  1. Send the details

    Use the form on this page. A specialist replies, usually within one business day, to say whether it is worth a closer look.

  2. We appraise it

    Authenticity, condition and a market view. There is no fee and no obligation to continue.

  3. You accept or decline

    If it suits the sale, we propose a reserve and terms. The watch is listed only after you agree.

  4. We prepare the lot

    Photography, description and catalog entry are handled for you. Swiss Emporium remains your contact through settlement.

Attending and bidding

This is for guests and bidders. A seat does not let you bid. You must register for each lot you want, in the room or online. One registration does not cover the rest of the sale.

In the room

Reserve a seat, then bring your Australian Driver's Licence. A paddle is issued only for the lots you register on arrival.

Online

Complete Bidder Registration at heritageonly.com.au with photo identification and proof of address. Registration closes 24 hours before the sale, and only for the lots you select. On the night, use Online Bidder Login.
