Pawn Your Cartier Watch

Are you thinking of taking a loan on your Cartier watch?

When you think of the Cartier, you wouldn’t normally think of pawning your Cartier watch…you will most often consider luxurious diamond jewellery i.e. rings, necklaces, bracelets and other. However many Cartier models of watches are growing in popularity, particularly those that are more difficult to come by, and they are demonstrating a real ability to maintain their value at pawn shops. This is making Cartier watches a popular asset for investments, and for collateral in asset loans.

People on a mission to “pawn my Cartier watch in London” can contact our pawnshop in London, in order to swiftly raise some capital to fund another purchase or investment.

At New Bond Street Pawnbrokers our doors are always open, so you can come along and have your Cartier watch valued. We recommend calling ahead to make a proper appointment if you plan to pawn your Cartier watch and ask any questions you may have before your visit to our Mayfair, central London store.

Should I borrow against my Cartier watch?

Cartier watches can be very valuable at pawn shops, but they are not all created equal. There are many factors to consider when selling or pawning expensive watches, and your Cartier watch could potentially be significantly more valuable than another watch that appears to be identical. Before deciding whether or not to borrow against your Cartier watch at our pawnshop in Central London, we will need to understand exactly how valuable it is.

Here are the factors that our expert appraisers will consider

Regardless of their brand, the most valuable watches in the world , including Cartier are generally assessed for pawning on the following criteria:

Condition

The condition of your Cartier watch has a high impact on the loan price our experts will offer. A Cartier timepiece that has been lovingly cared for and treasured will have retained more of its loan value, making it an appealing prospect for collectors. When assessing the condition of your Cartier watch for loan purposes, our appraisers will examine both its outside appearance and its interior functionality.

Age

As you might expect, an older collectible Cartier watch is likely to be far more valuable at pawn shops, because it will have become rare. Cartier was founded in 1847 in Paris, and has been crafting innovative timepieces ever since. If you have a Cartier watch in your possession that is over 100 years old, it could fetch an enormous sum from fine watch collectors, or you could pawn it with New Bond Street Pawnbrokers.

Model

There are many iconic watch models among the Cartier portfolio, built up over the better part of two centuries. Some have been runaway success stories, while others have had little impact on the market. Today, as we mentioned already, some Cartier watches are more desirable than others at pawn shops, most notably the Santos, Tonneau and Tank series’. The latest incarnation of the Santos is the Triple 100, released in 2008, credited as the first-ever rotating-dial mechanism, while the Santos Dumont Skeleton watch has been known to sell for more than £40,000. Loans on Cartier watches of these models are sure to fetch a pretty penny and our pawnbroking team will be happy to provide a free appraisal before you decided to pawn your Cartier watch.

Provenance

Cartier watches are much easier to appraise if our luxury watches loans team can demonstrate the provenance you hold. If you have searched “pawn my Cartier watch in London” then you will want the most valuable collateral possible. This will be helped by things such as proof of purchase, service history and certificates of authenticity.

Selling vs. pawning your Cartier timepiece

We consider that owning a Cartier watch is a little like holding a precious item in trust for future generations and relatives. That said, we do appreciate that some people will want to sell valuable Cartier watches at times. Of course, there are pawn shops that will buy Cartier de Santos, Tank watches, Rotonde de Cartier, and more.

What you do need to bear in mind, though, is that often when pawnbrokers state they will buy your cartier watch they will not offer a fair market value – this is because they also need to re-sell it, and make a profit on it. You could be better advised to get in touch with Sotheby’s for an appraisal and think about auctioning off your watch.

We do appreciate that when you need your money in a hurry, arranging auction valuations and waiting for the next auction may just not suit, but we really do only offer lending on Cartier timepieces here at New Bond Street Pawnbrokers. Ultimately, we realise that people sometimes make the wrong decisions when there’s a desperate need for cash. Once you’ve sold your precious Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch, you won’t be able to get it back!
