About Mokum Watches
My name is Jochem, and I started Mokum Watches in 2019 after a decade of enjoying vintage watches as a hobby. It all began with a fascination sparked by a €1 pocket watch from the 1900s, found at a flea market in Italy. Since then, I've never once been bored reading up on, learning about and dealing in watches.


Although you'll find a few modern pieces on this platform, my heart lies with vintage watches. I have a soft spot for '40s steel waterproof chronographs, 34mm dress watches, or tropical dials that make a "normal" Datejust irresistible. Rare bracelets that complete a watch. Acquiring that uncommon configuration you never knew existed. And then, researching that particular piece and falling more and more in love with it along the way. Being able to call vintage watches my line of work feels like a blessing, and it's simply great to be in contact with fellow collectors every day to share, source and discuss remarkable timepieces.
Mokum Watches is a company that focuses on the more unlikely pieces. I don't trade in excessive quantities, nor do I sell five standard Datejusts a week, the kind of business model that trades passion for volume. By keeping the business relatively small compared to other dealers, I'm able to focus on the more distinctive pieces. The result is that whenever you get in touch about a watch, by email or by phone, you'll always be talking to me. I value this way of doing business and hold on to the old-school belief that a (vintage) watch purchase transaction is more than simply processing a payment.
- Please note we are not able to ship during weekends as all our watches are externally stored in a bank vault. -
