The very best watches brought to you by Julien Thionnet

Julien Thionnet #1.1

“I love the watches universe: the history of brands, the craftsmanship and complications of movements, the design of cases, all the different ways to read the time.”

Julien became fascinated by watches when he was just seven years old. He found it incredible that human beings could create a mechanical movement and measure time. As a young collector, he was interested in all sorts of items, from fossils to gems and coins. But once he bought his first Swatch, he was only interested in watches. Pursuing his passion, Julien started out by learning all he could at Monaco’s acclaimed luxury retailer, Kronometry. After working for exclusive retailers in Cannes, France, Julien became a senior salesperson for LVMH, a world-leader in luxury. Julien joined the Catawiki team in November 2020, bringing with him 13 years of experience working exclusively with watches and a further four years of working in luxury retail. He is excited to explore the diverse range of brands and models submitted every day, and to share his knowledge with buyers and sellers around the world.
