Evan Zimmerman- Opening Antiquorum for the Selling Public
Among the ideas being promoted by Evan Zimmerman, is that everyone is allowed the opportunity to sell various timepieces. As head and CEO of Antiquorum, he is able to establish a leadership role where he is of the major influence to the various markets out there. In fact, with his leadership style, he has been able to bring the company to various international markets. Thus, today, the company has homes in three of the most influential areas and sites when it comes to horology, and these are the cities of New York for the Americas, Geneva for the Europeans and Hong Kong for the Asians.
To be a valid seller, one of the first areas that one must undergo is the valuation process where the item being sold will undergo the most severe and strictest grading. For Evan Zimmerman, this is needed to ensure that all the quality goods of the company are only those that are sold in the market. Each item will be handled by experts on watches, and will be classified according to how they appear to the naked eye. When the seller is able to bring the item to the center for valuation, he will then be given the estimate based on the guidelines of the company.
There are three areas that Evan Zimmerman proposes to be properly researched and reviewed and these are the casing, the dial or the hands, and the movement of time. These are considered as three of the most important elements in the review that determines the estimated value the watch holds. On a general ruling, the watches will be given one to four grading for the areas. In addition, there are also four grades that will be assigned to the watch according to the time span that it has been in existence. This means that if is less than a hundred years then it will be graded as 1 as it is new and so on and so forth.
After the items have been graded, it is then the responsibility of the seller to ensure the items will be delivered to the auction house. These items can either be mailed or delivered by hand depending on the seller. Furthermore, there are certain contracts that must be properly filled out for the seller to ensure that all legal issues are addressed and correctly answered. Evan Zimmerman also proposes that before an item will be sold, it must be included in their catalog to allow buyers to check the item for review prior to the actual date of the auction.
