Quiénes somos

It all started with a watch forgotten at the back of a drawer.

An old model, with little commercial value, but with a unique patina, a dial aged by time, and that strange feeling of holding a piece of history in your hand. That day, I realized something: it's not the value of a watch that matters, but the soul it exudes.

So I embarked on a quest: to recreate that magic, that thrill of vintage. To bring the icons of watchmaking—Submariner 5513, Daytona 6263, Comex—back to life, not by copying them, but by paying homage to them with respect and passion.

Each watch is assembled by hand

No mass production. No factory.
At Watch & Patina, each watch is assembled in my workshop, by hand, with patience, meticulousness, and an obsession with detail.

I choose robust and reliable components (notably Seiko NH35 movements, renowned for their precision), then I patinate the dials by hand, one by one, to give them that vintage charm that collectors love so much.

This isn't a business. It's a passion.

I'm not a brand. I'm an enthusiast.
I do this for the pleasure of creating, sharing, and seeing your wrists adorned with a unique piece with a story behind it.

Each Watch & Patina watch is designed for those who love the real, the authentic, the beautiful. For those who dream of legendary watches without having to sell a kidney. For those who love objects with soul.

Welcome to my world.

If you are here, it means that you too love the smell of aged leather, the “click” of a well-crafted watch, and the stories told by the traces of time.

So welcome.
Here, time is not frozen. It comes to life.
