Vintage

In my workshop, when I speak of vintage, I refer to watches and straps that are at least 20-30 years old and retain the authentic charm of the era in which they were created. In my experience, a true vintage piece isn't simply old, but carries with it the history and distinctive style of its period, often requiring special restoration techniques that I apply to preserve its authenticity. It's essential to distinguish authentic vintage from modern vintage-inspired reinterpretations that, while beautiful, don't possess that patina of time that makes each historical piece unique.
