Welcome

The Cotswold Time Company started through a love of watches. I can count the days a watch hasn't been on my wrist on one hand! It all began with a Casio F-91W, timing everything on the playground. What followed was a journey through brands, references, and rabbit holes that I am still happily lost in.

My passion sits with vintage Tudor, but the watches that really stop me in my tracks tend to be the ones with a story. An aged dial, an unusual configuration, a reference most people walk past. Those are the pieces I look for, and they are the pieces I love to place with the right person.

How we work

I buy and sell privately, and work with a small number of trusted dealer partners to place watches with buyers. The Archive on this site shows pieces that have passed through my hands; it is there so you can see the standard I hold myself to and the kind of watches I seek out.

If you are looking for something specific, I can source to order. Most of what I find comes through private channels and off-market, so if you have a brief (a brand, a reference, a budget, or just a general direction), get in touch and we can find exactly what you're looking for.

Why Cotswold Time

The pre-owned watch market rewards patience and knowledge in equal measure. There is a lot of noise out there, and not all of it is honest. What I offer is straightforward: a careful eye, a genuine passion for the right pieces, and a business built on people coming back.
