Elite Timepieces was founded by Ignacio Charle out of a genuine passion for vintage watches and the stories they carry. What began as hours spent researching references, learning about movements, and searching for overlooked timepieces gradually became a project dedicated to sourcing watches with character and giving them a second life. As a student and aspiring entrepreneur, Ignacio created Elite Timepieces to gain first-hand experience in the watch industry while working towards a much bigger vision.

​

Over time, Elite Timepieces has become much more than a place to buy vintage watches. It has provided the opportunity to learn about sourcing, branding, customer experience, and what makes a watch truly meaningful. Every timepiece sourced, every customer served, and every lesson learned contributes to the long-term vision of the company.

​

That vision extends far beyond vintage watches. Elite Timepieces is the foundation for a future watch brand built on thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and a genuine appreciation for horology. To help bring that vision to life, the project has launched a GoFundMe campaign, inviting supporters to become part of the journey from the very beginning. Every contribution helps move the project one step closer to developing its first original collection and building a lasting watch brand.
