BETWEEN HISTORY TO MODERNITY:
A PASSION THAT TRANSCENDS TIME
Behind The Arrow of Time is Timothée, a watch enthusiast for over 10 years now. This engineer by training, also a graduate of a prestigious French business school, is today the head of a company with more than 250 employees.
In 2013, Timothée discovered the world of watchmaking. When his grandfather died, he was given an Omega Bumper model watch from the 1950s, which itself had belonged to his great-grandfather.
He then began to become interested in watches, different mechanisms and designs, the history of watchmaking, and the evolution of trends over the decades. He follows specialized blogs, goes to international trade shows and exchanges with collectors before acquiring a first watch, then a second, then a third…
Timothée is a passionate of vintage watches, as evidenced by his personnal collection, which he carefully selected over the past decade. He attaches great importance to the rarity and impeccable condition of each of his pieces.
