About

Old Man Watches is a private brokerage based in London, with deep roots in Monaco. We connect collectors with exceptional vintage and modern timepieces, sourced globally and handled with absolute discretion.
The Founder
Simone Liggi
I founded Old Man Watches LTD to combine my passion for luxury and vintage watches with a service that excels in discretion and security.
My experience has taught me that every timepiece holds both historical and sentimental value. With roots in Monaco, where I built my network and established trusted relationships within the luxury watch industry, I created an agency whose mission goes beyond simple transactions.
Today, based in London, we provide a secure and reliable bridge between owners of exceptional timepieces and collectors worldwide, ensuring every watch finds its next chapter with complete trust and professionalism.
The right watch is rarely the most obvious one.
London
The professional centre of the business: appointments, assessment and the day-to-day work of representation, conducted quietly and by arrangement.
Monaco
Where the eye was formed. A collecting culture of restraint and long relationships continues to shape how we work.
Values
Discretion
Conversations stay private. Always.
Authenticity
Claims are supported, or they are not made.
Trust
Advice given as it would be to a friend.
Knowledge
Period, reference and market, understood in depth.
Character
A watch with a story over a watch with a spec.
Personal Service
One point of contact from first note to completion.
Curatorial Philosophy
We look for coherence before rarity. A watch should agree with itself: case, dial, hands and bracelet sharing one life. Where something is unclear, it is described as unclear.
Personal Service
You will deal with Simone directly, from first enquiry through to completion. Appointments are arranged privately, in London or wherever a watch requires attention.
