Born in Switzerland. Built in America. Perfected in Asia.
I grew up in Geneva, Switzerland, and have spent the past 15 years operating at the highest levels of the international watch market. Throughout my career, I have advised some of the world’s most important collectors and institutions, building a reputation as a trusted industry expert, strategist, and advisor across the luxury sector.
I began my career in New York City at leading watch marketplaces, including private equity backed White Pine and Circa, as well as Sotheby’s Jewelry and Watch eCommerce division. There, I developed deep expertise in buying, selling, pricing, authenticating, and negotiating on the legendary 47th Street.
I later relocated to San Francisco to launch and lead the Luxury Consignment Office for The RealReal prior to its IPO (REAL). I was responsible for scaling the Jewelry and Watches division during a pivotal growth phase as the company raised $300 million and went public in 2019.
I then founded a luxury consulting firm based in Singapore, advising start-ups and multinational brands across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. I subsequently returned to the auction world as Head of Watches at Freeman’s in Chicago, where I led the department through 5X growth in 24 months, set multiple company and industry records, and secured major collections from prominent collectors.
Today, I serve as Watch Advisor to The Fine Art Group and consultant to The Watch Register, the global database for lost, stolen, and counterfeit watches.
My work and market insights have been featured in leading publications including Forbes, Robb Report, Hodinkee, WatchPro, JCK, JWC Media Group, Sheridan Road, and others.
I hold a BA in International Relations from the University of Denver and a Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) degree from the Gemological Institute of America. Having lived and worked across Switzerland, the United States, Southeast Asia, and now Japan, I bring a global perspective and deep understanding of cross-border watch markets. I am fluent in English, French, and Spanish, with working proficiency in Japanese.
