Welcome, Watch Geeks!

We founded WahaWatches with a straightforward mission: to make it easier for people to learn about affordable mechanical watches, watch collecting and watchmaking. (Sorry digital watch fans, but we like things old school!)

We cover watches under $5000, except for the occasional icon such as an Omega Speedmaster or a vintage Rolex.

Unlike most other online watch hubs, WahaWatches is 100% ad-free and we don’t allow sponsored articles. Corporate or commercial interests don’t drive the content we post, and no one outside of our team has editorial control over what we teach or share. Here, you’ll only get honest advice from collectors who love watches as much as you do.

Watchmaking and collection are very diverse and complex subjects. It’s easy for a beginner to become overwhelmed with all that there is to learn quickly.

We make it easy for you to learn about the details to pay attention to when examining a vintage watch, how to spot fake watches and redials, and how to take your first steps into the great hobby that collecting and repairing watches is.

Through our newsletter, we’ve met a lot of fellow watch lovers and made new friends. We all share the same passion for watches and watchmaking so we’ve learned at least as much from them as they from us.

Join our community of watch enthusiasts here.

    We’re fortunate enough to spend time pursuing our passions for watches and watchmaking but not everyone is so lucky.

    8% of the world population (643 million people) lives in extreme poverty and they’re only trying to survive.

    We believe that every child should have a quality education and experience the gift of learning. Education provides a higher income, leads to improved health, and if all students in deprived regions leave school with basic readings skills, 12% (171 million people) could be lifted out of poverty.

    Though support from people like you, we help build schools, educational programs, and foster global communities around the common purpose of education for all. That’s why we’re honored to donate 5% of the yearly revenue to Pencils of Promise.
