our story
Connecting collectors with timepieces that tell their story.
Time for Seconds was founded in Austin, Texas, in 2001, inspired by the city’s transformation from a quiet Hill Country treasure into a global destination for culture, style, and refinement. My love of watches began with the Omega Seamaster Professional, famously featured in the 1995 film GoldenEye, and grew into a lifelong passion.
Over the years, that passion expanded to embrace both the avant-garde brilliance of designs like the Ulysse Nardin Freak and the timeless heritage of maisons such as Vacheron Constantin. To me, watches are more than instruments of timekeeping—they are cultural touchstones that embody history, artistry, and human connection. They resonate with Austin’s vibrant music scene, the international energy of Formula 1, and the stories we carry through generations.
At Time for Seconds, we bring that spirit to everything we do, curating and reselling distinguished timepieces that reflect authenticity, sophistication, and lasting value. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, trade, or source a unique piece, I invite you to connect with us and discover how Time for Seconds can help you write the next chapter in your watch story.
