Passion

We believe that every watch is a testament to its time. By selecting timeless pieces, we help preserve watchmaking heritage, highlighting the expertise and elegance that span generations.

Trust is at the heart of our approach. Each watch we offer is carefully checked to ensure its authenticity and integrity. We are committed to offering only authentic timepieces, so that every collector or enthusiast can purchase with complete peace of mind.

Luxury watchmaking shouldn't be reserved for the elite. At The Ticking Watch, we strive to offer fair prices, making certain iconic models and brands more accessible to enthusiasts looking to expand their collections.

Beyond sales, we aim to share the fascinating stories behind each watch. Through our content and selections, we highlight models that have left their mark on their era, in order to convey their cultural and historical value to as many people as possible.

The Ticking Watch is, above all, an adventure born from my passion for timepieces. Through this website and my networks, I share this passion with an international community, hoping to spark curiosity and inspire other enthusiasts to discover the richness of the watchmaking world.

Frequently Asked Questions

We pride ourselves on offering authentic vintage watches, each inspected to meet our high standards of quality and authenticity. Some watches are restored, with replaced or non-original parts, which is clearly indicated in our product descriptions for added transparency.

All our watches are carefully inspected and serviced as needed to ensure they are in good working order. Any additional servicing or restoration is noted in the listing.

We choose not to polish our watches to preserve their authenticity, original lines, and the natural patina acquired over time. This approach respects the integrity of each piece and ensures that you receive a timepiece in its most historically accurate condition.
