How TIMEMATCH works
TIMEMATCH helps you find the perfect watch for a meaningful moment. Whether it’s your own birth year, a wedding, a graduation, or another milestone, the right watch can capture the memory. Follow these three simple steps to discover a timepiece that connects to your story.
1. Enter a year
Select a year from 1900 up to the present that marks a special moment in your life or someone else’s.
2. Browse matching watches
See all (neo-)vintage watches made in that year and find the design that connects best to the event in time.
3. Connect with a timepiece
Discover the watch that speaks to the event. If it’s the one, make it yours to wear and treasure, or a meaningful gift for someone special.
Why a birth year or milestone watch?
A watch made in the same year as a special event in time is more than a timepiece; it’s a personal connection to the past. Collectors and first-time buyers alike choose birth year watches for the memories they carry. Whether it’s a sporty Seiko chronograph, a rugged Rolex diver, or a classic Longines dress watch. The year in which it was created holds your moment in time, turning the watch into a wearable memory.
Wearing it bridges past and present, and one day it can be passed on to loved ones, carrying your story forward.

TIMEMATCH story
Reunited with a lost time piece
A wedding gift found againAs a wedding gift, my wife and I bought each other this beautiful classic Seiko with a moon phase complication. For her, the smaller ladies’ size, and for me, the 33mm version. We wore them side by side, a daily reminder of our shared life. At a certain moment in time, mine was lost and out of sight for years. Determined to reunite the pair, we began searching for the exact same watch I had lost. When it was finally found, joy washed over me. Placing it next to hers again, it felt as if time itself had come full circle.
Now, being able to wear it once more brings back that same joy we felt when we first exchanged them. It’s more than a watch, it’s a daily reminder of our journey together, a piece of time that still beats in step with our lives.
