    Bon soir mes amis!

    In the weekend of January 26 I will go for business to Paris. What kind of shops should I visit for vintage watches?
    1. Antoine de Macedo
    2. Romain Rea
    3. Paris Heure
    4. The Beautiful Watch?
    5. Montres Modernes et de Collection
    6. Charly la Passion des Montres
    7. Contre temps
    8. Les montres collector
    9. Chronopassion (Mostly new, but I love this guy)
    10. Olivine Prestige
    11. Euro Art and Collection
    12. 41 watch
    13. Rivièra watch
    Am I missing some good shops? Perhaps some shops which are new and a bit under the radar too?
    Merci beaucoup!

    I'm 95% vintage, but Chronopassion is an amazing shop.

    If you are in the market for really nice watch strap, check out ABP - Atelier du Bracelet Parisien

    Have a great trip

    Don't be surprised if you see some crazy high prices.

    You seem to have it covered!! Not a “shop” per say, but make sure to swing by the Bréguet museum Place Vendôme. Some awesome watches to see there as well...
    Bon voyage!

    I agree, an absolute must for a watch nerd visiting Paris.
    See if you can meet with Richard Vassor, he is extremely well versed in all things Breguet and is a thoroughly good chap to boot.
