For the watch trade
When the right piece comes up overseas, it goes to whoever's money lands first. We know how the trade pays and when, and we handle it in confidence.
01
High-street banks often build a few percent into the exchange rate. On a six-figure stock buy, that can be most of your profit on the piece.
02
By the time a UK bank gets round to your payment, the seller's day is over. Your money lands late and the piece has gone to someone quicker.
03
You need someone who knows why a payment has to go this morning, and when the markets you buy from shut.
Dealers don't advertise where they buy or when, and neither do we. This is what we will say.
Your payment is planned around the seller's banking day, so it lands before they move on.
Whatever's on the invoice, we'll make sure you're not paying a margin twice to get there.
Holidays and closures where you buy are in our diary before they're in yours.
Buying on the circuit? Funding is sorted before you travel.
We confirm the moment your money lands, so the seller can release the piece.
Your suppliers, volumes and margins stay private. Details are shared only with GC Partners to make your payments, or where the law requires.
