About us

For more than four decades, I have been collecting, researching, buying, selling, and studying vintage watches, fountain pens, and other unusual collectibles.

What began as a personal passion gradually became a lifelong pursuit. Over the years, I have handled thousands of objects ranging from everyday collectibles to exceptionally rare and historically significant pieces. Along the way, I developed a particular interest not only in the objects themselves, but also in their history, provenance, manufacture, and the stories they tell.

QualitySwiss was created to share that passion with fellow collectors and enthusiasts around the world.

The items presented here are carefully selected for their quality, originality, historical interest, rarity, or simply because they are fascinating examples of the craftsmanship and ingenuity of an earlier age. Whether it is a vintage wristwatch, a fountain pen, a piece of jewellery, or an unusual object d'art, I believe that every worthwhile object has a story worth preserving.

My interests extend well beyond buying and selling. I have spent many years researching horological history, vintage writing instruments, manufacturers, movements, signatures, provenance, and restoration. This commitment to understanding the objects I offer allows me to provide detailed descriptions, accurate identification, and the level of transparency that serious collectors expect.

In 1992 and 1993, I organized the International Pen Show and Auction in Geneva, an event that brought together collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts from around the world and was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records following the sale of what was then the world's most expensive antique fountain pen. Experiences such as these have reinforced my belief that collecting is as much about knowledge, discovery, and shared enthusiasm as it is about ownership.

Today, QualitySwiss serves customers internationally. Some are experienced collectors searching for a specific rarity; others are purchasing their very first vintage watch or fountain pen. Regardless of experience level, every customer deserves honest descriptions, careful packaging, professional service, and the confidence that comes from dealing with someone who genuinely cares about the objects being offered.

I invite you to browse the collection, explore the accompanying research and articles, and discover the remarkable objects that continue to inspire collectors around the world.
