For many watch lovers, Amsterdam Watch Company is the regular address to satisfy their hunger for vintage timepieces. From Rolex to Omega, Cartier, IWC, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Tag Heuer, the leading luxury watch store on Reestraat in the 9 Streets sells it all. And if a preferred model is not available, the owners' network is large enough to meet demand.
Amsterdam Watch Company has specialized in selling iconic watch brands since 2001. Mostly traditional brands in the high end. Mainly from Switzerland. Owners Roel van den Haak and his wife Toesja de Vries have a knack for finding vintage watches. The couple has worldwide connections when it comes to finding the coolest and most unique models. From individuals from their own clientele to dealers, auctions and partners who search internationally for special timepieces, the watches come from everywhere.
"Compare our collection of vintage watches to cars. You have Ferraris, Porsches and Lamborghinis. All the top brands we have, only we go the extra mile and make sure we have the very best and most authentic models," Roel van den Haak told Esquire.
The bar is set high. Not just any watch is deemed good enough to be included in the collection. Vintage and second-hand watches do not escape Roel and Toesja's critical eye. The models purchased must give an authentic feel. In addition to vintage watches that are 40, 50 and 60 years old, the couple also purchases young used watches that are 10 years old. Watches purchased by Amsterdam Watch Company are checked for authenticity and quality by their own specialists and are refurbished for sale by their own watchmakers in the studio. This allows the jeweler to guarantee that the timepieces meet a "high standard.
Since 2001, Amsterdam Watch Company has been building its collection. Miles of experience ensures that Amsterdam Watch Company stands out from the competition.
