Consignment
Consign your timepiece.
We authenticate, photograph, and present your watch to serious collectors. You remain the owner until the moment it sells.
How It Works
From your safe to its next wrist.
Bringing it to market
Step 1
Submit & Authenticate
Tell us about your watch. We arrange secure, insured transfer and hand-inspect every detail, movement, case, dial, and bracelet.
Step 2
Valuation & Strategy
We study recent comparable sales and live collector demand, then agree a pricing strategy with you before anything is listed.
Step 3
Presentation & Marketing
Professional photography, honest condition notes, and placement in front of our network of collectors and enthusiasts.
From listing to payout
Step 1
A Qualified Buyer
Your watch is shown to people who understand what it is worth, not bargain hunters looking for a quick flip.
Step 2
A Secure Transaction
We handle verification, payment, and fully insured shipping. Optional third-party escrow is available on request.
Step 3
Your Payout
Proceeds, minus the fee we agreed upfront, are wired to you promptly, with complete transparency at every step.
The Consignment Advantage
Patience pays.
Consignment is the considered alternative to an immediate sale. Rather than accepting a direct offer, you entrust your watch to us and it is sold through the same channels as our own collection, with the same photography, the same standards, and the same care.
While it is listed, your piece stays fully insured in our custody, and every conversation is handled for you.
Because your watch reaches serious collectors instead of wholesale buyers, consignment often returns meaningfully more than a quick sale.

Why Island Time
Why consign with us.
Every Consignment Includes
1. Market-Driven Pricing
Auction results, private sales, and live demand set the number. Your watch is positioned to achieve its real value, not a discounted quick-sale price.
2. Qualified Buyers
Our collection reaches collectors and enthusiasts who know exactly what your piece is worth, and who pay accordingly.
3. Full-Service Management
Photography, listing, negotiation, and paperwork are all handled for you. You receive updates while it is listed, and a clear accounting when it sells.
Consignment fees are agreed upfront and calculated on the final sale price, so our interests are aligned with yours. Every piece is evaluated individually based on brand, condition, and provenance.
Optional · Seller’s Choice
Added peace of mind.
Optional Third-Party Escrow
If you prefer, the final sale can be routed through Benison escrow for independent authentication and payment verification, so nothing changes hands until everything checks out.
Insured at Every Step
Your watch travels to us fully insured, stays insured in our custody while it is listed, and ships to its buyer the same way. FedEx, insured, door to door.
