Vintage watches.
With something to say.

The watches that interest us have character. Their proportions, mechanical choices and signs of use tell us about the time they come from. We choose them for what they are, and for the pleasure of wearing them today.

About Us.

As Found grew out of a friendship between two enthusiasts who met by chance while exchanging an Omega ref. 2639-10 from 1952. That meeting sparked the idea of sharing another view of vintage watches: real, genuine, attentive to what a watch actually is. As found, in other words. Away from the noise of trends and hype.

Manifesto

An era on the wrist.

We choose a watch because it has something to tell us: an idea of design, a mechanical solution, the way people lived and dressed in its time. That is where we find its soul. We look for watches to understand and wear, beyond the fashions of the moment.
