How it works
Honest advice, transparent communication, and no pressure. Every enquiry is handled personally from the first message to the final delivery.
Enquire
Reach out via Instagram or the contact form. Whether a watch from my current selection has caught your attention, you're looking for a particular model, or you're considering selling a vintage watch, I'll be happy to help.
Personal Consultation
Receive additional photographs, movement shots, videos, or any other details you may need. If required, the watch can also be serviced before delivery. Viewings in Prague are available by appointment.
Enjoy Your Watch
Once everything is confirmed, your watch will be carefully packaged and shipped fully insured worldwide, or handed over in person in Prague.
About me
Vintage watches have never been just about telling the time.
For me, they are part of a wider appreciation for things that are made well and built to last. Classic tailoring, fine leather goods, good food and drink, and a watch from the 1940s or 1950s all share something I value: thoughtful design, craftsmanship and a sense of character that only becomes more apparent with time.
I have never believed that the most interesting watches are necessarily the rarest or the most expensive. I look for beautiful proportions, honest condition and originality. Most importantly, I look for watches that feel right and were made to be worn, rather than simply kept away in a safe.
Every piece at Michael's Treasures is chosen personally and presented as it truly is. The aim is not to build the largest collection, but a considered one: watches with something about them that makes you want to put one on your wrist and keep wearing it.

Frequently asked
Are the watches authentic?
I carefully select watches for their originality, condition and character. If a watch has any known replaced parts or other deviations from originality, they are always clearly disclosed before a sale.
Are the watches serviced?
Every watch is inspected and tested for accuracy before being offered. Where servicing is required or recommended, it can be carried out prior to delivery by an experienced watchmaker.
Do you buy vintage watches?
Yes. I'm always interested in purchasing quality vintage watches or entire collections. Feel free to get in touch if you're considering selling.
How do I pay?
Bank transfer is preferred for most transactions, while cash payment is possible for in-person meetings in Prague. An invoice is issued for every purchase.
