The Story Behind The Curated Dial

The Curated Dial is a passion project created to make vintage watch collecting feel exciting — not intimidating. I’m not a dealer or a seasoned expert — just someone who discovered a love for vintage watches, hoping to bring others on the journey. It’s about learning, exploring, and appreciating along the way.

The Approach: Learning, collecting, selling — in that order. This all started with my own deep dive into vintage watches: researching references, comparing dials, and making plenty of beginner mistakes. The more I learned, the more I wanted to pass on — because collecting should feel rewarding, not overwhelming.

The Process: Every watch here is carefully chosen, photographed, and described with honesty. I call out the good, the quirks, and anything you should know before buying. I don’t flip pieces for the sake of it — I only list watches that genuinely spark excitement and feel right for The Curated Dial.

At its core, The Curated Dial is about trust, taste, and enjoyment. Built by an enthusiast, for fellow enthusiasts — it’s a place where honesty and passion matter more than hype. Thanks for being part of the journey.
