STORY — 20+ YEARS OF PASSION
A watchmaker's diary
The story of a passion spanning over twenty years and a profession running since 2016. A journey from antique pocket watches to the world's most prestigious brands.
OUR STORY
It began as a hobby, became a profession.
It all started with an antique pocket watch. From the moment I first heard the sound of the movement, I understood that watches are not merely instruments that measure time; they are objects carrying craftsmanship, history and character. This years-long passion turned into a profession in 2016 with the platform I founded under the name Mezat Dünyam.
Beginning with antique pocket watches and vintage wristwatches in its early years, this journey has today become a platform where the most special pieces from the world's most renowned brands — such as Rolex, Omega, Cartier and IWC — are bought and sold. Over the years, thousands of watches have passed through my hands; each taught me something new.
In an era where professional ethics have greatly eroded, I still do this work the old way: I stand behind every watch I sell. Every piece that enters my showcase is mechanically tested, prepared in store condition and delivered with a 1-year warranty. The special place we hold was built not with discounts or advertising, but with trust earned one piece at a time over twenty years.
"Selling a watch is easy. The hard part is being able to greet that watch ten years later, when you meet it again, without averting your eyes." — Tahir Çetinkaya
