Our Team

Like you, we know that great companies are built when good ideas coalesce with good people that create good synergy. At Hackstons our ecosystem is far-reaching so we would like to credit the independent brokers, vendors, tradespeople, analysts, researchers, and content creators that we work with.

Our continuous success would not be possible without them and our core in-house team.

My father has been collecting gold as a store of wealth since the ’70s. This tradition has been passed on to me, and I have been dollar-cost averaging my portfolio since 2001.

Georgie Harris

I purchased an Audemars Piguet skeleton perpetual calendar in 2012. A few years later, the timepiece was discontinued and since it has increased in value over 400%.

A client gifted me a case of Boêrl & Kroff in 2018; in 2019, the case had increased in value so dramatically that I sold 3 bottles and kept 3 bottles, which we enjoyed at my wedding in July of that year.

In late 2014, I had the opportunity, surprising as it was, to purchase a box of 20 Cohiba Robusto Reserva Cosecha cigars. A beautiful smoke, tucked safely away for special dates.

Watching the value of my Rolex Day-Date appreciate in double digits every year since 2017 has enticed my appetite in the multi-asset investment world. I intend to grow my collection and pass it down for generations to come.

My Grandad collected St Dupont lighters, he passed them onto me and I’ve continued this passion. The most precious lighter in my collection dates back to 1945!

My late grandmother passed me down a cut 5.94 carat emerald she found on a mountain in Pakistan in 1964. It's an object I've cherished ever since.

In 2016 I purchased a Rolex GMT Master II known as the Bat Man, watching the timepiece appreciate in value ultimately teed of my change of  investment approach to predominantly luxury asset classes.

As an avid reader, I love to collect books. My prized literary possession is a hardback, first edition of the Strand Magazine, Volume 5, originally published in 1893. The same publication in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's infamous detective Sherlock Holmes first began gaining notoriety.

In our family, meaningful jewellery tells our story. From my great-grandmother's diamond set to the Cartier watch my grandmother wore on her wedding day, these are some of the little treasures connecting me to the past in the most beautiful way.

My grandmother left me her platinum engagement ring that she adored for 60 years. This is the most sentimental and valuable asset I own, which I intend to pass onto my children one day.

My grandma has purchased a variety of authentic designer items, anything from fendi, burberry and jewellery. Which I am now putting to good use and will become generational wealth through my family.

My mother has been holding onto a Tiffany & Co diamond ring that was her mother’s wedding ring. It is over 70 years old; however, I am not allowed to have it until I meet that special someone.
I started investing in handbags back in 2018- my mother gave me my first Chanel Reissue which has increased in value by over 70% in the past 4 years.
