Founder's Story

Jeff Chiu: A Journey Between Aviation and Watches

Jeff Chiu, founder portrait
Founder lifestyle

For more than a decade, my career has taken me through the world of private aviation, where I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, including some of the world’s most successful and accomplished individuals.

Along the way, I began to notice something fascinating: whether sitting across from a business leader, an entrepreneur, or a collector, there was often a story sitting quietly on their wrist.

A watch can be much more than an object that tells time. It marks an achievement, celebrates a milestone, and becomes part of your identity.

My own passion for watches grew from that fascination. Over the years, collecting taught me that the most interesting watches are not necessarily the newest or the most expensive.

It is often the details that make a watch special—the condition, the originality, the configuration, the history, and the character that comes with age.

We look beyond the name on the dial. We pay attention to originality, proportions, patina, and provenance.

Temporary Custodians

I believe a great watch should ultimately be worn. It should travel with you, become part of your everyday life, and pick up a few stories of its own.

The watches presented here are not simply pieces for sale—they are pieces worth preserving, wearing, and enjoying.

After all, we are only temporary custodians of these objects. The best thing we can do is find them a good home.

“Wear it well. Wear it often. And always wear it in good health.”

— Jeff Chiu, Founder
