Our History

I have been wearing watches since the age of three. Always on the right wrist. My passion for vintage was born from a fascination with objects that stand the test of time — their patinated dials, their mechanical movements, their designs that are no longer made today.

My rule is simple: I collect, and I sell what I love. Sometimes it's the design, sometimes the movement, sometimes the patina. I love to highlight a little-known brand with a sublime dial as much as a great Swiss house. It's not luxury for luxury's sake — it's well-made vintage.

Each piece is selected for its history, design, and quality of execution, then entrusted to our partner watchmakers for a complete overhaul before joining our collection.

There is a watch that I will never sell. A Universal Genève Polerouter, given by my grandmother shortly after the launch of Atelier Victor. “I bought this one for your grandfather when it came out in the newspaper.” This watch is the starting point of it all.

Beyond watchmaking, Atelier Victor offers a selection of Jewelry, luxury leather goods, and vintage accessories — pieces chosen with the same eye and the same demand.

See you soon,
Victor
