Vintage Specialist · Senior concierge at Craft + Tailored
Craft + Tailored
Craft + Tailored is an independent vintage watch dealer based in Los Angeles, California. The company specializes in high-grade mechanical timepieces from the mid-20th century, with a heavy focus on brands such as Rolex, Omega, Heuer, and Tudor. Their inventory typically occupies the premium price tier, ranging from several thousand to over one hundred thousand dollars. Every watch undergoes a multi-point inspection for authenticity and mechanical function, and the firm provides a one-year mechanical warranty alongside a three-day inspection period for returns. They accept payments via bank wire and major credit cards. Within the collector community, the dealer is recognized for sourcing watches with original components and "honest" cosmetic conditions, often accompanied by detailed historical research and high-resolution photography documenting specific dial patinas and case geometries.
