Time on my hands
Dubai has been my home for more than 25 years, and in that time I've been fortunate enough to build a number of successful businesses.
As those businesses grew, they needed less and less of me, and I started to think about how I wanted to spend my time. The answer was the thing I've always loved, which is watches. I had time on my hands, so I started a watch business. There's a joke there somewhere.
Where the watches come from
Over the years I've built up a network of dealers and specialists all over the world, so I can source a watch from almost anywhere. We buy a lot of watches in the Middle East and a lot in Japan, and the USA is a very big market for us. I'm proud to say we have customers everywhere, and a lot of them come back to buy again.
Choosing the watches
I choose by how I feel about a watch. I ask myself whether I'd wear it, and whether it's the sort of watch my friends and customers would want to wear.
Obsessive Watches doesn't have a shop or showroom. We don't have any staff either, just me. That allows me to keep my prices extremely competitive. Normally our watches are much better value than buying from somewhere offering velvet seats and frothy coffees.
We don't sell hundreds of watches, but it's a business that ticks over nicely and it makes me very happy indeed.
Come and talk watches
I love sitting down with people who are as passionate about watches as I am. If you're in Dubai, I'm always happy to meet for a coffee. If you're further afield, we can jump on a video call instead.
If you're searching for a particular watch, tell me what it is and I'll see if I can find it for you. I'm well connected and can often find a rare or limited edition timepiece where others might run into dead ends.
Have a browse through what's in stock today, and if something catches your eye, send me a message on WhatsApp. I'm usually pretty quick to reply.
Thanks for visiting Obsessive Watches.
