Seller's Story
Hello, I’m Barış.
My journey with watches began in childhood, sparked by the curiosity I felt when I saw my father’s old mechanical timepieces. Over the years, this passion grew from collecting into a profession—buying and selling vintage watches.
Today on Catawiki, I specialize in bringing rare, unique, and character-rich models from respected brands such as Seiko, Omega, Longines, Zenith, and Tissot to discerning buyers. Every watch carries a story from the past, and I take great care to ensure these stories are preserved and passed on to their new owners.
In each of my listings, I describe the watch’s technical details and aesthetic condition in full transparency. High-resolution, multi-angle photographs clearly display the piece, and any restored or replaced parts are always disclosed. Before shipping, each watch undergoes a timegrapher test, functional inspection, and careful packaging to ensure it reaches you safely.
For me, selling watches is more than just a business—it’s about building trust and sharing a passion. Meeting watch enthusiasts from all over the world is the most rewarding part of this journey. I look forward to helping you add a special piece to your collection one day.
