I spent two decades leading the creative teams behind Apple's most iconic product campaigns. That work built a particular way of seeing. The kind that notices what others miss, that knows the difference between something done well and something done right.
The Watch Vault was born from an unexpected detour. Following a major ski accident in 2023, the long road to recovery opened an unlikely door into vintage horology. What began as a way to fill time became a serious pursuit: the intricate mechanics of movements built decades ago, the stories embedded in case wear, the quiet satisfaction of bringing a neglected timepiece back to life.
Hundreds of hours in watchmaking classes, hands-on movement servicing, and deep study of what separates a watch worth saving from one that isn't. That technical foundation, combined with a collector's instinct, is what The Watch Vault is built on.
Every watch we offer has been personally sourced, inspected, and assessed. We only sell pieces we believe in, watches that tell a real story and deserve to be worn, not forgotten.
