Our story

The Ticking Watch is the result of a passion for watchmaking that I cultivate today between France and Belgium. Launched in early 2022 as an Instagram account to share my love of timepieces, TTW has gradually transformed into a boutique specializing in iconic, rare, and timeless models.

This passion was born at a very young age, with the first mechanical watch given to me by my father. Since that day, I have remained fascinated by how a few precisely assembled cogs can tell the time. This first spark aroused a genuine interest that has continued to grow over the years.

In my twenties, I began collecting watches to write my own story. Today, I also offer them for sale so that other enthusiasts can write or enrich their own.

Through my acquisitions and apprenticeships, I have acquired a solid knowledge of numerous models and references. I am constantly on the lookout for atypical pieces, iconic models, or rare gems. Each watch put up for sale is carefully examined and prepared with the same care as those in my personal collection.

Still driven by the same passion, The Ticking Watch has allowed me to connect with an international audience who share this love of watchmaking. Nothing delights me more than seeing a timepiece find its place in a new collection.
