At Brussels Vintage Watches, our passion for watchmaking goes hand in hand with an absolute commitment to security and transparency. Located on the prestigious Avenue Louise, our boutique puts its expertise and facilities at the disposal of watch enthusiasts.
Whether you want to obtain a certificate of authenticity for your watch or complete a buy/sell transaction in a secure environment, here are the services we offer.

Buying, reselling, or insuring a collector’s watch requires a rigorous evaluation. Our valuations are conducted personally by our manager, Gaëtan Lana, a lawyer by training holding a Master’s Degree in Art Market Law.

- Mechanical Analysis : Inspection of the movement condition and accuracy on a timing machine (timegrapher).
