About Fishtown Watch Supply

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by.

My love for watches started around 1996, when I was eight years old. One of my earliest memories is walking through BJ's with my dad, an immigrant from the former USSR. He wasn't the kind of guy who bought things for himself, but one day he decided to treat himself to a two-tone Movado. I still remember how proud he was of that watch. Around the same time, my older brother got a Swatch diver on an elastic steel band, and I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Looking back, those two watches planted the seed for what would become a lifelong interest.

Fast forward a few decades. Watches were always around—a few Swatches here, a G-Shock there—but everything changed when my wife gifted me a two-tone Zodiac GMT automatic for my 36th birthday. That watch sent me down the rabbit hole. One watch turned into two, then ten, then countless late nights learning about vintage brands, forgotten designs, and the stories behind them.

Fishtown Watch Supply is my way of sharing those discoveries with other collectors and enthusiasts. Here you'll find a carefully curated collection of vintage, neo-vintage, and modern watches that I genuinely find interesting. Some have fascinating histories. Some have incredible design. Some are just plain cool. Most importantly, I believe great watches should be accessible. Whether you're looking for a $100 vintage oddball or something a little more substantial, my goal is to offer watches with character, story, and value.

Thanks for visiting, and feel free to reach out with any questions—or if you just want to talk watches.
