Our Authentication Process

Each item undergoes a multistep inspection prior to being purchased and sold

Question
Our approach to acquiring new pieces is deeply rooted in curiosity. We engage with sellers not just to learn about the item, but to understand the narrative behind it.
Research
We rigorously assess and confirm the authenticity of each piece before it becomes a part of our collection. Following this process ensures that when we present an item to you, it is with absolute confidence in its authenticity and quality.
Inspect
Every aspect of an item is examined with the utmost attention to detail, ensuring that what we offer to our clients isn’t just a product but a symbol of authenticity and trust.

Our Journey in Curating Genuine Luxury

Rob’s venture into this world began as a childhood fascination with coins and watches. At the tender age of five, Rob embarked on his first coin collection, laying the foundation for his future in luxury goods. By 13, he was already gaining practical experience working with a coin dealer. This early immersion in the industry fueled his passion and knowledge, enabling him to make a significant milestone at just 15 – purchasing his first Rolex watch. Rob Chramosta’s journey in luxury items is marked by over 10,000 hours of hands-on experience, a testament to a career spanning more than four decades.
