Our Story
What does a watch say about the person wearing it?
At Analog:Shift, we believe it says a great deal. A timepiece, by virtue of its purpose, is imbued with tremendous importance; indeed, without a way to reliably tell the time, it’s easy to become unmoored in such a busy, interconnected world.
But a watch is more than just a mass of gears and cogs. Each watch is different, and each is special. When you strap one to your wrist, you’re signaling to the world your particular taste — but more importantly, your values.
Born from a passion for watchmaking history and excellent design, Analog:Shift was founded in 2012. Bringing together the best vintage and pre-owned pieces, we grew from a single shoebox of watches to a bustling floor full of passionate collectors and friends.
Now part of the Watches of Switzerland group, Analog:Shift is the go-to source for collectors and clients across the globe seeking fine timepieces produced between the 1940s through today.
In addition to our watch sales and watchmaking and service expertise, our Transmissions blog and YouTube content focus on all aspects of horology, watch collecting, and the lifestyles that surround watches.
If the horological journey is one that you’d like to embark upon, we’d like for you to embark on it with us. Time, after all, is of the essence.
