Our special process
At Vintage Watch Ads, we believe true beauty is timeless. What started as a fascination with vintage watches and their evocative ads has become a mission: to rescue, restore, and reframe original printed watch advertisements. Not as mass-produced posters, but as authentic historical pieces that deserve to keep telling their story.
Seeing is believing: watch how we turn every ad into a museum-grade collectible in just 10 seconds.
Step 1: Sharp-eyed sourcing
We scour the globe for original print ads from the golden eras of horology from the 1950s through the 1980s. Each piece is handpicked for its rarity, design, and historical significance. No reprints, no scans. Only authentic vintage prints.
Step 2: Careful handling & presentation
Each vintage ad is a delicate fragment of history. We handle every piece with utmost care, preserving its authentic character, natural wear, and original charm. Without altering or restoring, we ensure that each ad is gently cleaned and prepared for presentation. Every piece is precisely trimmed, mounted with acid-free materials, and paired with museum-quality mats. The result is a unique, time-honored collectible that’s ready to frame and made to last for generations.
Step 3: Ready for a new chapter
After restoration and presentation, each ad is hand-inspected and carefully packaged. Whether you are a collector, a watch enthusiast, or looking for a unique gift: every piece that leaves our studio is one of a kind, ready to begin a new life on your wall.
Give your wall character and your passion meaning
A vintage watch is more than just a timepiece it’s a story on your wrist. The original ads that once told those stories deserve a second life in your space. What we offer is not a print, but a tangible memory of an era defined by craftsmanship, innovation, and style.
Our collection includes rare, carefully restored originals, each with its own story to tell. Ready to be admired again. In your office. Your studio. Or simply at home, above your favorite watch display.
