My name is Michael Knight. I was taught watch making and antique watch repair the old fashioned way. My father taught me what he learned at The American Academy of Horology (now called the American Watchmakers/Clock-maker’s Institute) in Denver, Colorado which he attended right after WWII. In 1987, I attended one of the most prestigious Swiss Watch manufacture service repair school in New York City (Rolex). I repair and restore each of the vintage/antique watches and other pieces we sell in my heirloom watch repair shop in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I believe that a wrist watch should be a piece of history and something that can be passed down through generations. Watches are not just a piece of jewelry, but an extension of your taste, personality and lifestyle. I have been in the watch industry for fifty years and my family has been in this line of work for over 69 years. We are a local, family owned and operated store – always have been, always will be.

I sell only quality heirloom watches of taste and value. If you are going to wear a watch for twenty years or more, shouldn’t it be a beautiful and valuable heirloom? Owning antique heirloom watches of the highest quality that do not lose their value is a value in itself. To own a watch for decades and never lose money on it is a wonderful thing! This is exactly what we believe and therefore exactly what we sell.

Recently, my passion has been creating. I thoroughly enjoy taking vintage/antique watches and updating them in ways that give them a place in our modern world. I begin with a quality watch that has a classic look, such as a pocket watch. I add lugs for attaching a leather strap, converting it from pocket to wrist. I call these my Pocket-wrist conversion watches.

For these reasons, I only sell brands such as Rolex, Omega, Longines, Hamilton, Patek Philippe, and other high grade heirloom quality watches. We have been giving our customers the best of times since 1951. If you buy from us, you buy a piece of history, what will in time become your history, your page mark. Our pieces will be in yours and your family’s future for generations to come.
