About the owner

Watch Expert was founded in 2012 by Khatchatour Mkrtoumian.

Khatchatour was born in Yerevan, Armenia. His mother and father are Ballet artists. This gave him passion for art. The interest in finance was passed on from his grandfather, who was an economist. At the age of 12 he moved to Antwerp, a city known as the diamond capital of the world.

Since 2005, he became fascinated by watches. In 2012, after seven years of collecting and studying watches, he decided to buy and sell watches professionally. Equipped with basic knowledge about watches and the HRD Diamond Grader certificate, he ventured into the world of watch purchasing and selling.

In 2022 he became a watch expert of the Belgian Chamber of Experts KGSO-CEJA. His clients enjoy working with him because of his knowledge, experience, and honesty. When he sells a watch, he takes the time to explain the history and background of each timepiece.

When you sell a watch to him, his focus is on making it quick, seamless, and easy for you. Selling a watch in his office takes 5 minutes. You will be paid instantly and receive proof of payment immediately.

He visits the Munich watch fair 5 times a year and actively follows international watch auctions. He stays up to date with information and releases from both top watch brands and independent watchmakers.

Khatchatour does everything he can to be the ideal watch dealer he would choose if he wanted to buy or sell a watch.

His impeccable reputation is his greatest asset; he ensures that the timepieces he buys and sells are original and have a legal origin.

 

“Watch Expert is the leading company where you can safely buy and sell the world's most beautiful and rarest watches. We combine passion with experience and professionalism.”
