Cal. 01 — Maison

Time, with provenance.

From the world’s great manufactures and the world’s careful previous owners — authenticated, documented, and personally sourced from Dubai for collectors who care about the paperwork as much as the dial.

Cal. 02 — Why us

Three things every collector deserves.

01 — Provenance verified

Independent authentication on every piece.

Watchmakers we don’t own and can’t influence inspect every reference before it joins the listing — service history, box, papers and movement marks documented.

02 — Sourced personally

We travel for the watch, not the price.

Estate sales, retired collectors, retiring boutique stock. Most pieces never reach a public listing — clients see them at the desk first.

03 — Discretion as standard

Private through every step of the transaction.

Neutral packaging, named couriers, a single point of contact, and a buy-back option if the piece doesn’t sit on the wrist the way the listing promised.

Cal. 03 — What we keep

A small, careful selection.

CAT. 01 / NEW

New references.

Current production from independents and the major manufactures, sealed with full warranty and original packaging.

Steel automatic watch with a blue dial
CAT. 02 / PRE-OWNED

Pre-owned.

Carefully serviced, lightly worn pieces — current models you’d recognise, at honest pre-owned numbers.

Vintage chronograph with a patina-aged dial
CAT. 03 / VINTAGE

Vintage & archive.

Pieces from the 50s, 60s and 70s with the patina, the lume and the paperwork to back the story up.

Cal. 04 — On record

Said by people who have the receipts.

“Three pieces in two years. Each one arrived with more documentation than the auction house I’d been using before.”
A. Faris
Collector — London / Dubai
“I had a brief for a 60s Heuer in a specific dial variant. They found it in four months. Nobody else even tried.”
M. Yusuf
Private client — Riyadh
“Sold a piece I’d held for a decade. Net came in 18% above the trade quote I’d been chasing. Quietly handled.”

Cal. 05 — The house

Founded by people who’d rather wear the inventory.

Calibre & Co began with a small archive in a DIFC office, a long list of contacts, and the conviction that the pre-owned market deserved better paperwork. We’ve grown — but the desk where every watch is checked is still the same one.
