From luxury watches and classic cars to trainers, alternative investments are not just a symbol of passion but also a high-yielding asset. At Timeless, we’re dedicated to granting everyone access to these exclusive collectibles. As we look back on our journey, we’re proud to spotlight the performance of our 8 triumphant exits, especially when contrasted against traditional investments.
The results attest to the outstanding growth of our exit assets, particularly when compared to major stock indices. Boasting an impressive average performance of +53.2%, our collectibles have indisputably overshadowed the S&P500 (-5,5%) and DAX (-3,3%) (over the holding period).
Due to their limited availability, the market for vintage luxury watches has grown significantly, and a loyal customer base of affluent individuals ensures consistent demand for this asset group. According to the Knight Frank Wealth Report, 46% of Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWI) are eyeing a watch investment in 2023. The rationale? Despite overall market downturns, luxury watches remain relatively resilient. Our recent exit, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 3700/1, showcased the potential of renowned timepieces as an investment, boasting a stable value increase of +30%* over 23 months. The undisputed star of the show: the Vacheron Constantin Jumbo 222 with a staggering +200%** return.

Their blend of rarity, cultural value, and historical significance makes collectable cards an enticing investment, particularly praised by investors for their low correlation with the traditional financial market.
