Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
- First party cookies are cookies set by the website you're visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
- Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.
Every time you visit our websites, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies. The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. That way, you don't have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.
Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.
How do we use cookies?
Currently, there are four types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site: Strictly Necessary, Statistics, Preference and Marketing cookies.
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary are explained in the table below.
How do I control Strictly Necessary Cookies?
You can use your browser settings to control whether or not we set session cookies. More information on your browser settings is provided at the bottom of this page.
Please be aware that these cookies are critical to the efficient working of the site. If you choose to disable these cookies from this site, the functionality of the site may be greatly reduced.
2. Statistics Cookies
Also known as "performance cookies," these cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
Statistical information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove or change features of the site based on how popular they are with users.
We track, for example:
- the numbers of visitors to individual pages;
- when pages were visited;
- how long users stayed on the page;
- the IP address of the user of the website;
- the page they came from;
- technical data about the device being used to browse the site (such as browser and operating system version, and display size) — we use this data to ensure that the technology our site uses is appropriate for the majority of our users, and how best to display the site for users who have less capable browsers.
More information about Statistics cookies
We use cookies from different partners including Google to provide our analytics data. You can read more about how Google Analytics treats your data on their web site. You can also read Google's full privacy policy.
How do I control Statistics cookies?
Google provides a tool to opt-out of Google Analytics. This is available for all modern browsers in the form of a browser plugin. Additionally, you can control how cookies are set using your browser settings.
3. Preference cookies
Also known as "functionality cookies," these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, whether you have accepted our cookie policy, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your user name and password are so you can automatically log in.
4. Marketing cookies
The advertisements you see displayed on this, and other, sites are generated by third parties. These services may use their own anonymous cookies to track how many times a particular ad has been displayed to you and may track your visits to other sites where their ads are displayed. Please note that advertisers can only track visits to sites which display their ads or other content. This tracking is anonymous, meaning that they do not identify who is viewing which ads.
Tracking in this manner allows advertisers to show you ads that are more likely to be interesting to you, and also limit the number of times you see the same ad across a wide number of sites. As an example of how advertisers operate, if you recently researched holidays, adverts for holiday operators may subsequently appear on our sites.
We do not have access to, or control over, these third party cookies; nor can we view the data held by these advertisers. Online advertisers provide ways for you to opt-out of your browsing being tracked. More information about the advertisers we use, and how to opt-out, is provided below.

We work with Google to optimise how Google ads are displayed. You can discover how Google protects your privacy relating to ads at its privacy policy.

Banksy and Breguet! Two rare investments for the Konvi community
Nikkan Navidi•18.4.2024
At Konvi, we understand the dynamics of alternative investments and the value they add to our clients' portfolios. Our recent acquisitions, including the iconic No Ball Games (Green) by Banksy, through our partnership with TGB Contemporary, and the exquisite Breguet Anniversary Tourbillon WG, secured through our collaboration with the WatchFund, exemplify our commitment to offering rare and exclusive assets.
Understanding the Value of Banksy in Today's Market
Banksy, the enigmatic street artist, continues to dominate the contemporary art scene with works that are not only visually striking but also politically poignant. The acquisition of No Ball Games (Green) is particularly significant as it represents Banksy’s distinct stencil style and his commentary on societal norms. In recent years, the demand for Banksy's pieces has skyrocketed, reflecting a broader market trend where art is increasingly viewed not just as cultural capital but as a viable financial investment. The appeal of Banksy’s works lies in their limited availability and the artist's global recognition, factors that drive their appreciation over time. Our contemporary art investment expert, TGB Contemporary, has specialized in procuring rare art pieces made by Banksy. With their extensive and established network of collectors, enthusiasts, auction houses and alike, they have access to rarest art pieces from the infamous incognito artist, historically appreciating by 20% annually. In this article we delve deeper into the story of TGB contemporary and the investment potential of Bansky art pieces.
The Prestige of Breguet and the Luxury Watch Market
Parallel to the art market, the luxury watch industry has seen robust growth, with collectors and investors alike seeking pieces that combine craftsmanship with exclusivity. The Breguet Anniversary Tourbillon WG stands out with its intricate design and historical significance, celebrating the invention of the tourbillon by Abraham-Louis Breguet. It features a hand-engraved guilloche white gold dial cover with a porthole that subtly reveals the sophisticated silver dial beneath, adorned with Coates De Geneve stripes. The watch is powered by a manual winding tourbillon movement, renowned for its precision and complexity. Encased in a sapphire crystal that provides a clear view of the movement through its exhibition case back, this watch blends its tradition with an innovative case design made out of 18kt White Gold. The classic blued “Breguet” style hands and the solid dimensions make it a statement piece, while its 50-hour power reserve ensures lasting reliability. Valued at $160,300 this rare and exclusive timepiece offers significant investment potential for the Konvi community and its investors.
Synergies Between Art and Luxury Watch Investments
Investing in both contemporary art and luxury watches involves a deep understanding of the items' intrinsic and perceived values. Both markets share similarities in their economic behaviour, where provenance, scarcity, and brand legacy play crucial roles in determining value. For investors, these assets offer a hedge against traditional market volatility and an opportunity to hold tangible property with cultural significance.
According to the 2024 Knight Frank Wealth Report, art and luxury watches stand out as some of the top-performing asset classes in the alternative investment landscape, both over the past year and the last decade. These assets have not only shown significant appreciation in value but also offer stability in diverse market conditions. This consistent performance underscores their appeal to investors seeking tangible assets that combine cultural value with financial growth, making them particularly attractive in an era marked by fluctuating financial markets and interest in unique, non-traditional investments.
Market Trends and Investment Strategies
The current market trends indicate a growing interest in diversifying investment portfolios with tangible, culturally significant assets. Art and luxury watches offer unique opportunities for capital growth, with their value often resistant to economic downturns. At Konvi, our strategy focuses on acquiring and offering assets that are not only rare but also have a historical and cultural narrative that enhances their appeal.
Future Outlook for Alternative Investments
Looking forward, the integration of art and luxury watches into investment portfolios is expected to gain more traction. As more investors become aware of the benefits of alternative investments, the demand for rare and exclusive assets will likely increase. Konvi remains at the forefront of this market, providing our clients with opportunities to invest in assets that are poised for appreciation and offer a unique blend of history, artistry, and prestige. While watches and contemporary art play a central role in the alternative asset landscape other assets such as classic cars have also seen significant value appreciations in the past decade, leading them to be among the most popular assets among the clients of private bankers, wealth advisors, intermediaries and family offices (Knight Frank, 2024).
Conclusion
Investing in rare art and luxury watches through Konvi provides not only financial returns but also the satisfaction of owning pieces of cultural and historical significance. As we continue to partner with industry experts like TGB Contemporary and WatchFund, we are committed to enhancing our clients' portfolios with assets that offer both stability and potential for appreciation.
