About

THE COMPANY

Located in the heart of Antwerp, we are professionals with more than a decade of experience, research, study and passion. We specialise in the purchase, sales and expertise of timepieces from renowned brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, and more. Here, collectors have been welcome for over a decade to discover rare collectible timepieces that are almost impossible to find in stores and to share their passion for the art of watchmaking.

Here you benefit from our technical expertise and the assurance that every timepiece is genuine and of lawful origin. Each watch comes with an invoice, a lifetime warranty on authenticity, a two-year warranty on mechanical performance, and high-definition photographs of the watch you purchase.

Whether you are considering the purchase of your very first Rolex or building a portfolio of important and unique vintage watches, we are here to provide the expertise and guidance you need to make an informed and confident decision — in a friendly atmosphere defined by integrity, professionalism, and genuine care.

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thank you for visiting. 

My name is Khatchatour Mkrtoumian. I began collecting watches in 2005. In 2012, I established my own sole proprietorship and started trading professionally in watches. In 2013, I became an HRD-Certified Diamond Grader. In 2022, I founded Watch Expert BV and was appointed as a watch expert at the KGSO – the Belgian Chamber of Experts.

Today, my expertise is trusted by leading watch collectors, traders, jewellers, and institutions around the world.

Each watch I sell is legally acquired, fully inspected, carefully evaluated, and presented with complete transparency. To me, collectible luxury watches embody craftsmanship, art, history, passion, status, the joy of ownership, and valuable physical financial assets. I expand my expertise through research and study, attending watch fairs, following auctions, and staying current with market trends to provide well-informed and reliable guidance.

Just as a tailor ensures that his customer leaves the shop with a perfectly fitting suit, I want to make sure you find the watch that truly suits you — the ideal timepiece that matches your style and unique personality. I therefore always try to meet my clients in person.

My office is located directly opposite the Royal Flemish Opera and just a short walk from Antwerp Central Station. It is a private and secure space, and you are always welcome — even if it is just for a free valuation or a conversation. No pressure, no obligation. I am here to listen and to provide you with all the necessary details so you can make the best choice.

Thank you. I wish you a good day.

Best regards,
Khatchatour Mkrtoumian
