The Person Behind WOM

A passion for
exceptional
timepieces.

It started with phone calls from family and friends asking me to source watches. I was known as the watch fanatic, but truthfully, my passion had only just begun when I entered my professional career. It grew quickly from there.

For a while, building a business around it felt far-fetched. But at some point I stopped asking myself if I should, and started asking how long I could delay it. So I went all in.

The first step was a simple page. To keep it alive, I'd approach strangers in the city and ask to feature their watches. That alone taught me everything. I made connections, built trust, and those people became my first clients. The idea had become a business.

At Watches of Melbourne, what drives us is simple. We have a genuine passion for watches and we love helping people find the right one for them, not the hype, not whatever name is trending, but the piece that actually suits them. That's what we're built on.

What We Stand For

How we do things differently.

01
Authenticity First
Every watch is personally authenticated before it's offered for sale. No exceptions, no shortcuts. Your confidence in the piece starts with ours.
02
Honest Pricing
We price to move, not to maximise margin. Competitive pricing is the foundation of long-term trust - and long-term relationships with our clients.
03
Personal Service
You deal directly with me - not an intermediary. From first enquiry to the moment the watch is in your hands, the experience is personal and straightforward.
