We safeguard pieces that tell stories.
ClocksBcn was born as a specialized boutique with a very clear obsession: to provide the high-end watchmaking market with the level of rigor, transparency, and culture it has always deserved.
Our approach to watchmaking
We are backed by a team with over 30 years of experience in the sector, maintaining an active presence at international fairs and auctions to keep a constant pulse on the market. Beyond offering exceptional pieces, what truly defines us is how we do things. Our daily work and our relationship with every client are built upon three non-negotiable pillars:
Selection and criteria
Every watch we add is a hand-picked piece chosen through a meticulous selection process, applying the same level of rigor we would for our own collection. When acquiring a piece, our focus is very clear: we verify the originality of all its components in detail and ensure that its provenance is completely transparent. This foundation, combined with the search for excellent aesthetic and mechanical condition, allows us to offer honest, top-quality pieces to ensure your total peace of mind and enjoyment.
Knowledge
Behind ClocksBcn, Nico and Alejandro lead a project based on a deep knowledge of fine watchmaking. To this solid foundation, we add the real experience of having examined and held an extensive variety of pieces in our hands over the years. We know the history, the technique, and the exact details of each watch simply because they are part of our day-to-day life. We place all of this background at your disposal to offer you, at every moment, the security and support of true specialists.
commitment
As experts, our job is to understand the true purpose of your search and always provide you with the market reality upfront. Every decision passes through the filter of professionals obsessed with detail, putting all our experience on the table to answer the only question that truly matters: is this step worth taking? If we believe an acquisition does not serve your best interests, we will be the first to advise against it. For us, a sound decision today is the foundation for a long-term relationship.
The awakening of a passion
Alejandro's interest stems from several pieces steeped in history, inherited from his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Those family watches, filled with life experiences and nostalgia, sparked a deep fascination that began our journey.
The technical basis
Alejandro began his formal training in watchmaking at the Institut de La Mercè and Industrial Martí. This step marked the transition from a simple hobby to the study of clockwork mechanics, acquiring the necessary knowledge to technically analyze a piece and make decisions based on it.
Learning the trade
What began as a family passion transformed into a professional path upon starting work at a watch shop. A year of intensive learning surrounded by timepieces, understanding the reality of the market and refining technical judgment.
From hobby to profession
We charted an independent path from a shared space, consolidating our identity through our own unique vision and content creation. With Nico joining us after completing his studies, we professionalized our structure to respond to a project that was beginning to grow.
Our own space
With clear ideas and a solid structure, we are taking the definitive leap into the heart of Barcelona by inaugurating our private space in the iconic Bulevard de los Anticuarios. An exclusive environment designed to welcome each client into a secure and expert space where they can see and try out our catalog.
