Watch valuation: the expertise of Vermot & Associés

Vermot & Associés is an auction house renowned for its expertise in auctions and the valuation of heritage assets. In the field of watches, the firm assists individuals, heirs, and collectors with the appraisal of antique and contemporary watches for sale, insurance, or inheritance purposes.

Appraising a watch requires rigorous analysis and in-depth knowledge of the watch market. Each piece has its own specific characteristics, both technical and historical, and only a professional appraisal can determine its true value in the current market context. Vermot & Associés puts its expertise as auctioneers at the service of watch appraisals, in accordance with confidentiality and auction market standards. Appraisals are free of charge and confidential if no official documents are requested.

Why have a watch appraised?

The value of a watch is not limited to its appearance or reputation. Many factors can influence its valuation, such as the brand, model, condition, movement, whether or not it has original parts, and the market context at the time of the appraisal. An appraisal carried out by an auction market professional provides a reliable and objective valuation based on analysis of the item and actual transactions observed. It is an essential step in making informed decisions, whether for a sale, insurance coverage, or asset management.

An appraisal based on rigorous and methodical analysis

Vermot & Associés' watch appraisals are based on a careful examination of each piece. The study analyzes the visible technical characteristics, the general condition of the watch and, where possible, information related to its history or provenance. Knowledge of recent auction results and demand in the watch market is incorporated into the analysis in order to provide a consistent valuation that is in line with buyer expectations in 2026. Each watch is considered individually, without extrapolation, to ensure a fair and reasoned valuation.
