Who We Are
WATCHOYSTER was founded in Geneva in 2021 by Eduard Brazhnik. With over twenty years of experience building businesses and seven years working in the Swiss luxury watch trade, Eduard started the company on one simple idea: buying a luxury watch, new or pre-owned, should be reliable, transparent, and free of surprises. Today, a team of fifteen stands behind every watch we sell. Without them, nothing we promise would be possible.
We are not a listing platform where third parties post watches they may or may not have. We are a dealer. Every watch in our catalogue is physically here. Each one has been received, inspected, documented and approved by our team before it appears on the site. If it is listed, it exists. If it is described as being in very good condition, that assessment was made by our in-house watchmaker, not an algorithm.
A personal note from Eduard: “Every listing on our site passes through me. Every watch in our catalogue, I have seen with my own eyes. Every message you send, I read personally. Write to me directly with any questions.”
Why Switzerland, and Why It Matters
We are based in the Geneva Free Zone, which gives us direct access to one of the world’s most active markets for luxury timepieces. Private collectors, estates, authorised sources across Europe. This positioning allows us to source exceptional watches at genuinely competitive prices, and pass that advantage directly to our clients, without the inflated margins of traditional retail or the opacity of unverified resellers.
Switzerland also means accountability. The standards we hold ourselves to are shaped by the same environment that produced the watches we sell. That is not a coincidence.
How We Verify Every Watch
Our in-house certified watchmaker examines each timepiece across every dimension that matters: movement condition and accuracy, case and bezel integrity, dial originality, crystal condition, bracelet wear and clasp function. Watches that do not meet our threshold are not listed, regardless of brand or price point.
Every serial number is cross-referenced with The Watch Register®, the world's leading independent database of lost, stolen and counterfeit watches. A certificate confirming a clean record is available on request for any watch in our catalogue.
For clients who require an additional layer of independent verification, we work with WatchCertificate® to produce a digital passport for the timepiece, recording its key details, condition and service history in a secure, verifiable format.
Real photographs are taken in-house under controlled conditions. Video walkthroughs are available on request. We do not use manufacturer or stock imagery.
Condition, accuracy, and amplitude tested by our certified watchmaker under controlled conditions.
Inspected for originality, finishing integrity, and structural soundness across every surface.
Verified for originality, patina consistency, and legibility under magnification.
Checked for scratches, chips, and replacement authenticity under directed light.
Assessed for wear, stretch, link integrity, and clasp function at every joint.
Cross-referenced with The Watch Register for a verified clean record.
Certified. Documented. Verified.
Each watch undergoes a rigorous multi-step authentication process before it is listed. As an authorised representative of Watch Certificate, we can issue independent digital documentation on request, and cross-reference the serial number with The Watch Register, the world’s leading database of lost, stolen and counterfeit watches. You receive not just a watch, but a complete paper trail you can trust.

Why Buying from Us Is Safe
We hold three independent validations of our standards. Mondani Web verifies us as a luxury watch dealer in Europe. Chrono24 lists us as a Certified Partner with publicly visible five-star client reviews. Watch Certificate authorises us to authenticate timepieces on their behalf. Our transparency is by design, not by obligation.
Every purchase is protected by a 14-day return policy. If the watch does not match its description or photographs in any material way, we arrange collection at our expense and refund in full without delay. Insured shipping protects your watch from our Geneva facility to your door.
For clients who prefer a personal handover, our appointment-only lounge in the Geneva Free Zone offers a discreet, secure environment to view, handle, and collect your watch on-site. Basic fit adjustments and bracelet sizing are available during the visit.
