Swiss watch company history

The Swiss Watch Company (UK) Ltd is an independent purveyor of Luxury watches founded in 1996 by John Matheou, a passionate watch aficionado with over 25 years of experience trading high-end watches from a wide array of luxury brands. Our director Tim Owens joined the company in 2006 and is a no-nonsense 35-year industry veteran. Together they have led the Swiss Watch Company from strength to strength, painstakingly building our enviable reputation through seamless customer service, expert advice and foremost third-party inventory from only the highest quality sources.

Being one of the very first to pioneer online luxury watch sales, the Swiss Watch Company has always been at the forefront of premium swiss watch sales and continue to be a pillar of the third-party watch trader community. Based in Chiswick, West London, we have cultivated long standing relationships across the UK with likeminded industry professionals, ensuring our stock is competitively priced whilst maintaining our industry leading quality standards.

Specialising in brands such as: Rolex, Patek Philippe, Jaeger LeCoultre, Omega, IWC, Vacheron Constantin, Panerai, Breitling, and many more. We take great pride in the quality of the watches we sell, and ensure each watch is in its best condition prior to being made available for sale, which is why offer a 12-month warranty with every purchase, unless it's still under manufacturer warranty!
