Thank you for the cooperation of Mr. Takuji Nakamura, a collector, for this interview.
The piece he entrusted to ZoomART is a timepiece born for world travelers, imbued with both history and value. Going beyond a mere watch, it continues to appreciate in value as a “traveling asset.”
- Asset：Rolex GMT Master
- Valuation：$17,100
Why Did You Entrust the Rolex GMT-Master to ZoomART?
For me, this watch is more than just a tool to tell time. It’s a treasured collection that symbolizes my personal history and my future aspirations.
However, to protect its value, strict safekeeping was absolutely essential.
When I learned about the ZoomART service, the idea of giving a “static asset” like a collection a “dynamic value” in the form of liquidity captivated me.
The ability to maximize the value of a cherished collection without having to part with it was a moment where my philosophy as a collector resonated perfectly with the ZoomART service.
The Asset Dilemma: The Conflict Between Safekeeping and Liquidity
Like many collectors, I was faced with two challenges for my collection: safekeeping and utilization.
A valuable watch is always at risk of theft, disaster, or damage from moisture and magnetism. It was impossible to have perfect management at home.
Furthermore, while the asset value is high, selling it takes a lot of time and effort. The low liquidity, which makes it difficult to convert it into cash when needed, was a huge dilemma for me as a collector.
What was the decisive factor for choosing ZoomART?
The decisive factor was the way ZoomART provides both asset security and financial liquidity.
The strict safekeeping system provided by their specialized partner warehouse permanently protects the value of my watch.
Furthermore, the mechanism that allows me to raise funds when needed by tokenizing my asset fundamentally solves a collector’s major dilemma. I saw this not just as a storage service, but as an innovative infrastructure to connect my collection to future possibilities.
Three Benefits of Using the Service
Having used the service, I’ve truly felt these three benefits.
First is peace of mind. Knowing that my treasured watch is being cared for by specialists in the best possible environment is priceless. This has significantly reduced the psychological burden of owning a collection.
Second is improved asset efficiency. Assets that were previously dormant are now able to generate new value in the form of tokens when placed with ZoomART. This allows me to take a more strategic view of my entire collection.
And third is investment flexibility. The ability to meet sudden funding needs has given me the confidence to seize opportunities for new acquisitions or other investments without hesitation.
The Potential of Tokens: The Uses of $ZMAT
The $ZMAT tokens I’ve received have become a new core of my asset management strategy.
Of course, I’m considering selling a portion to fund new contemporary art acquisitions, but right now I’m primarily focused on staking.
This allows me to increase my tokens, effectively covering the storage fees while also potentially expanding my overall assets. I see $ZMAT as a powerful partner for protecting and growing my collection.
A Message to Collectors: The Future Envisioned by ZoomART
A collection is an investment in the future. However, simply owning it doesn’t fully unlock its true value.
If you are struggling with the safekeeping or low liquidity of your treasured collection, ZoomART isn’t just a solution; it’s a key to opening a new door for you as a collector.
ZoomART is an intelligent choice to safely protect your assets while maximizing their value. We hope that many people will experience this platform, which is redefining the value of art and creating the collector of the future.
