Founded in Switzerland in 1999, Swiss Watches 1999 is the result of a lifelong passion for mechanical watchmaking and more than two decades spent around the Swiss watch industry.
Over the years, we have worked with manufacturers, distributors, collectors and enthusiasts, handling everything from everyday Swiss watches to rare complications, limited editions and independent brands. These experiences have shaped our philosophy and continue to guide every watch we select today.
Unlike large online retailers, we do not believe that more choice necessarily means a better choice. Instead, we focus on carefully curating watches that offer genuine character, technical substance and lasting appeal.
Our collection is dedicated to independent brands, neo-vintage icons, cult Swiss watchmaking and distinctive mechanical timepieces that deserve greater recognition. Whether it is a robust professional diver, a pilot chronograph, an elegant dress watch or an unusual complication, every model is chosen because we believe it has something special to offer.
At Swiss Watches 1999, authenticity is never negotiable. Every watch is sourced exclusively through manufacturers or trusted distribution channels and is carefully inspected before shipment by our Swiss watchmaker.

We have always believed that the most memorable watches are not necessarily the most heavily advertised. Often, they are the watches with a unique story, a strong personality, remarkable craftsmanship or an unexpected level of value. These are the watches we enjoy discovering and sharing with our customers.
Today, our mission remains the same as when we started in 1999: to help enthusiasts discover exceptional Swiss watches beyond the obvious choices and to provide a personal, knowledgeable and trustworthy service.
Whether you are purchasing your first Swiss mechanical watch or adding a rare piece to an established collection, we look forward to sharing our passion with you.
