At Galaxy Time we believe that every watch tells a story. They bring so much more than a just reliable way to tell time. Whether passed down from generation to generation, a gift from a loved one, or a celebration of a milestone; every time you look at your watch you will have your own story and memories that it evokes. Our dedication lies in the art of this industry, sharing the passion of the makers, collectors, and fanatics alike.
Our goal is to find you the watch you have been looking for, or in some cases find a new home for one that maybe no longer suits you the way it used to. We are always adding to our online collection and encourage anyone looking to sell their watch to contact us for an estimate. Looking for a specific or rare find? Send us a message and we will do our best to help in your search. We strive to make buying or selling a watch as simple and comfortable as possible. You can also check out our blog for some great tips and information.
Our Founder
Chris was introduced to watchmaking at a young age. In his early years he watched his father and fellow watchmakers overhauling and restoring watches in the shop. In time he would find himself working in that very shop during the summer break learning to make minor repairs. Gradually learning more and more about the complex and delicate pieces, how they worked and how to fix them.
Chris started working with various watchmakers’ lathes and became skillful at fabricating parts. His interest in horology sprouted from childhood and while he may not have become a watchmaker himself, he works closely with a team of Swiss trained watchmakers for the restorations and complete overhauls of the watches we acquire. On occasion the team will request for Chris to fabricate a part and are always amazed at the quality and detail he is capable of.
