Commission Model
THE 1% BUYER FEE. 0% SELLER COMMISSION
Fair, transparent, and radically different.
The luxury watch industry has long been dominated by auction houses and dealers charging 10-20% commission. We believe that's outdated.
We charge a flat 1% fee to the buyer. Period.
No tiers. No hidden fees. No buyer's premium. Just 1%.
HOW DOES 1% COMPARE?
The Sovereign Standard
Rather than competing with outdated models, we chose to rebuild the ecosystem from scratch. A minimalist infrastructure designed to preserve your capital.
Sovereign Fees — A flat 1% buyer fee. A strict 0% seller commission. No hidden premiums.
Automated Security — Fully integrated blockchain escrow protocol replaces manual paperwork and legal friction.
Vetted Network — Continuous 14-day inspection windows operating under absolute anonymity, backed by strict KYC-verified counterparties.
HOW CAN WE DO IT?
1. Core Technology
Blockchain escrow protocols automate what traditional intermediaries perform manually. By removing legal overhead, physical paperwork, and third-party friction, smart contracts handle the transaction with absolute precision.
2. Global Volume
By drastically lowering entry barriers, we cultivate a high-liquidity ecosystem. A continuous flow of high-value transactions ensures a sustainable marketplace model without the need for predatory pricing.
3. Structural Simplicity
We have eliminated the legacy friction of "buyer’s premiums" versus "seller’s commissions." One clear fee. One final price. Total transactional transparency.
THE ECOSYSTEM BENEFITS
Your 1% buyer fee covers the entire operational cycle. No add-ons, no surprise line-items:
Institutional Escrow — End-to-end digital asset protection until physical verification is complete.
Rigorous Verification — Mandatory identity checks (KYC) for all counterparties and strict vetting for merchant accounts.
Active Mediation — Dedicated dispute resolution and institutional payment processing across both digital assets and traditional banking rails.
