Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension: Product Access (Units), which grants subscribers access to the Independent Watchmaker Index data. It carries no charge under the free pricing model. There are no tiers, seat counts, or usage add-ons to compare. You get access based on the number of units you subscribe to. The single dimension covers watch auction results, private sales, and reference-level pricing data. Because it is free, there is no scaling logic tied to price. Access is uniform across the one available option.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit grants a subscriber access to the Independent Watchmaker Index data. This covers Swiss and independent watchmaking auction results, private sales, and reference-level pricing. Figures are currency-normalized and refreshed continuously. Access maps to your subscription rather than a device, seat, or query count.
No. This dimension carries no charge under the free pricing model. There are no included amounts, overage points, or usage thresholds that trigger extra cost. Pulling more records or querying more often does not change your bill. Access stays uniform across the single available option.
The data is refreshed continuously as new auction and private-sale results come in. Coverage spans major houses and the wider secondary market, including auction results, private sales, and reference-level pricing. Values are converted to a common currency at the transaction date, so figures stay comparable over time.
