The right decission
Individual watch purchase by experts
Sell your watch
Do you want to sell your watch directly? In this case, selling directly to Schmuckatelier Lang is the right thing for you.
When making a purchase, we will offer you a fair market price. If you accept this proposal, we will conclude a purchase agreement with you. You can immediately have the agreed sum of money at your disposal without any worries and the Lang jewelry studio will take care of all further steps.
Commission
How does a direct purchase differ from a consignment sale?
Schmuckatelier Lang will endeavour to find a buyer. In this case, we will jointly determine the price that will be paid to you if the sale actually takes place. We simply ask you to bear in mind that payment will only be made after the sale and that some interesting products may still take a long time to sell.
Trade-in
What is a luxury watch trade-in and how does it work?
You would like to buy a watch from our range. At the same time, you have a luxury watch that you would like to part with. We offer the option of trading in your old watch when you buy an exclusive watch. By trading in, you save money because the purchase price and the sales price are offset against each other.

Process of purchasing a watch
How does selling a luxury watch work with Schmuckatelier Lang?

FAQ about buying watches
Of course. The brands we mention are just examples. Don't hesitate to inquire about selling your watch if you don't see the brand of your watch here or if you think your watch might be too unusual for our range of luxury watches.
Of course.
It can happen that not all the information about a watch is always available. Regardless of whether you want to sell an heirloom and are not familiar with the world of luxury watches or you do not have any papers for your watch - our experts will determine a fair market price for your watch even if the information is missing.
You are welcome to offer us all your watches for purchase. The condition plays an important role in every purchase and has a significant influence on the price. If the condition of your luxury watch does not meet our own standards, so that this watch can find its way onto the sale on our website, we will refrain from purchasing it.
Assessing the condition of a luxury watch is not something everyone does every day. Feel free to offer us your watch - regardless of its condition - and we will let you know within one working day whether we are interested in your watch.
Even if you don't have all the documentation and accessories for your watch, we'll be happy to take a look at your offer. However, the exact scope of delivery will influence the purchase price we can offer you.
