An internationally recognised luxury Maison is seeking an exceptional Sales Executive to join its flagship London boutique. This opportunity is suited to a true horology enthusiast with an established background in ultra-luxury watch sales and a genuine passion for mechanical watchmaking, independent craftsmanship and high complications.

This is not a traditional retail sales role. We are looking for an individual immersed in the world of fine watches - someone who lives and breathes horology, understands collector culture and naturally builds credibility with highly discerning clientele.

The Opportunity

Working within one of London''s most prestigious luxury retail environments, you will cultivate long-term relationships with UHNW collectors, enthusiasts and international clients while representing some of the most respected timepieces in haute horlogerie.

The successful individual will possess both commercial sophistication and deep technical appreciation for complicated watchmaking, with the ability to confidently discuss movements, finishing techniques, calibres, heritage and rarity with seasoned collectors.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver an exceptional and highly personalised client experience to a global luxury clientele
• Develop and maintain relationships with established collectors and high-value clients
• Demonstrate advanced knowledge of high horology, complications and mechanical movements
• Engage confidently with enthusiasts, collectors'' networks and the wider watch community
• Drive boutique performance through relationship-led sales and repeat business
• Maintain meticulous standards of presentation, discretion and professionalism
• Represent the Maison with credibility, authenticity and passion at all times
• Support exclusive launches, private appointments and VIP events

Ideal Background

We are specifically interested in individuals currently operating within, or previously exposed to, the upper tier of luxury watch retail.

Experience with highly respected watchmakers such as:

• Patek Philippe
• Audemars Piguet
• Vacheron Constantin
• A. Lange & S-hne
• Richard Mille
• F.P. Journe
• Jaeger-LeCoultre (high complications)
• Rolex professional / precious collections

will be viewed particularly favourably.

Candidate Profile

• Proven success within luxury watch sales at a high level
• Deep technical knowledge of horology and watch complications
• Genuine passion bordering on obsession for fine mechanical watchmaking
• Existing network within collector communities, forums or enthusiast circles
• Naturally consultative and relationship-driven approach
• Strong understanding of the luxury client journey and UHNW expectations
• Impeccable communication and presentation skills
• Fluent English essential; additional languages advantageous

This Role Is Best Suited To Someone Who:

• Reads about watches outside of work because they genuinely love the industry
• Can speak in detail about perpetual calendars, minute repeaters, tourbillons and movement finishing
• Understands the nuances between independent makers and major maisons
• Has built trust and credibility with serious collectors
• Values long-term relationship building over transactional sales

Due to the specialist nature of this appointment, only candidates with relevant luxury watch and high horology experience will be considered.
