my story

Veteran-Owned | Passion-Driven

Eight Bells Watch Company was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran with a passion for luxury watches and vintage timepieces that began while serving overseas. During my deployments, I started collecting watches from local markets as souvenirs—each one tied to a place, a moment, and a memory. That simple hobby quickly grew into a lifelong appreciation for the art and history of horology. After my military service, I turned that passion into a business—buying, selling, and trading all types of watches, from luxury brands to vintage classics. What began as personal collecting has evolved into helping clients find the perfect piece, build their collections, and discover the stories behind the watches they wear. As a veteran-owned company, Eight Bells is built on the same values I held in service: integrity, precision, and pride in every mission. Whether you’re buying your first watch or seeking a rare find through watch consignment, I’m here to help you master time—one watch at a time.
