All watches tell time. So do phones. In Fact, Watches do extraordinary things these days - They can tell your heart rate, your calorie burn, steps taken, sleep patterns and more. Mechanical watches can do none of these. However, We at The Revolver Watch Club believe that Mechanical Watches do tell time in style. They tell time with drama unmatched by anything digital. They reflect your unique taste in design as well as an appreciation of precision watchmaking. They define you. They set you quite apart.
Buying a watch has never been easier. Most if not all watch brands are accessible – many online - as are endless reviews on each model. The choice is driven by the kind of watch you like – and exclusivity you can afford. The watch you are buying after all is hard to tell the time. It’s a conversation starter. It’s a statement.
Then there is the question of depreciation. Most watches - like other things depreciate with time. Most – not all though. This leads us to an entirely different approach to watches. That of used vintage watches.
When it comes to exclusivity, nothing comes remotely close to exclusivity that a vintage mechanical watch offers. The rarity, the design, the place in history of watchmaking – as well as the individual back stories, real or imagined, lends vintage and used watches to much drama.
Mechanical watches are extremely accurate machines. To be accurate they have to be built well. And if handled with respect they last generations. Mechanical vintage watch prices reflect values that will remain stable – or even appreciate with time - making them a safe investment.
Every good thing in life needn’t be prohibitively expensive. Affordable used and vintage mechanical watches can be very reasonably priced. Nothing in life gets better than affordable exclusivity right. It speaks of a genuine watch enthusiast, a horologist in the making. A person with knowledge and a genuine interest in vintage watches. Not just someone with money.
Affordable vintage and used watches are a portal to a lifetime of discovery. It allows you to be a part of watchmaking history. Once you’re through the door via The Revolver Watch Club you can go in so many directions - discovering vintage watch designs, types, brands as well as the evolution of engineering as they evolved over a century or more.

At The Revolver Watch Club find curated vintage watches from a range of brands like HMT, Seiko, Citizen, Timex, Certina, Girard Perregaux, Enicar, Titoni, Dugena, Tressa and more. Each brand has its own unique features which enhances the value of watches.
Founded in 1881, Seiko is known for introducing one of the world's first quartz wristwatches as well as the world's first quartz watch with a chronograph complication.
Seiko has been active in enhancing its own brand value in recent years, and in 2017, Grand Seiko, which had been a high-class sub-brand of Seiko, was transformed into an independent brand and began operating Grand Seiko's own distribution network and services.
Enicar is a historic Swiss watch brand dating to 1914 and currently operated by Wah Ming Hong Ltd. of Hong Kong.
The name "Dugena" is one of Germany's most famous watch brands. The roots of the company lie in Switzerland, namely with the Swiss watchmaker association Corporation d'Horlogers Suisse, which was founded in 1883 by Gottlieb Hauser. This was called Union Horlogère from 1901 and presented itself at this time with the brand name Alpina, which was first used as the name of a proprietary caliber.
Citizen is a Japanese watch manufacturer and one of the largest watch companies in the world. Most watches have quartz movements or Eco-Drive.
In 1888 Certina was founded in Grenchen by the brothers Adolf and Alfred Kurth and operates first as Kurth Frères SA. In 1906 the two choose for their watches the name "Grana", a shortened form of "Granacus", the Latin name for Grenchen. The first wristwatches appear on the market - mostly for women, since men at that time still refused wristwatches.
The Tressa Watch Co. was located on Rue de la Gare 14 2502 Biel/Bienne (Kanton Bern, Switzerland) and existed from 25.04.1966 up to 04.03.1987. The company went bankrupt under a judgement of 09.12.1986 and was wound-up on 04.03.1987 for being in default to its creditors. On the 02.05.2002, the liquidation became final and was deleted from the Commercial Registry of Switzerland. The assets of the company were bought by Rado Watch Co. Ltd. Purpose of business had been production and wholesaling of watches, movements and accessories, they had a basic capital of 500.000 CHF, so they hadn´t been a giant in swiss watch production.
