Slow growth. Faster paperwork.
A small Dubai dealer. Every watch is checked by two independent watchmakers before it is listed.
From a private collection to a public desk.
Calibre & Co started in 2026 as a personal archive — three friends, an obsession with case backs, and a back office in DIFC. Friends began asking us to find pieces for them. The find rate was good enough, and the paperwork tight enough, that the friends-of-friends started calling.
Today we source for collectors across the Gulf, Europe and South Asia, and had earned a reputation for the boring stuff — service histories that traced, papers that matched, lume that aged the way the year said it should.
We remain deliberately small. Every watch crosses one of two desks before it goes anywhere near a client. We’d rather catalogue a hundred pieces well than a thousand in passing.
To make pre-owned feel as safe as new.
The pre-owned market runs on assumptions. We replace each one with a document, a receipt, or an independent name on a service record.
What sets us apart, in practice.
Every piece is signed off by two independent watchmakers before listing.
No client buys a watch one person has checked. The second pair of eyes is salaried, not commissioned — they have no incentive to wave anything through.
We do active sourcing — not just publishing what walks in the door.
Tell us the reference and the dial variant. We work the brief through estate channels, dealer networks and private collections until we find the right one.
Seven days to live with the piece. Full refund if it doesn’t sit right.
We’d rather take a watch back than have a regretful collector. The policy is short, written down, and applies whether you bought online or in person.
We’d like to meet you.
Start a conversation, drop by the DIFC office, or send us the reference you’ve been hunting. We’re here.
