The Story Behind hash_watches
My journey into the world of horology didn’t begin in a boardroom or a boutique, it started with a gesture of love.
Trained as an industrial designer, I’ve always been drawn to form, function, and the beauty found in details. My eye was trained to see the way lines curve, how materials interact with light, and how objects communicate through their shape alone. But it wasn’t until my parents gifted me a Zenith El Primero Open Heart that this visual curiosity transformed into something deeper. That watch technically brilliant and emotionally significant, sparked an obsession that would shape the next decade of my life.
Over the last twelve years, what began as admiration became a disciplined pursuit. I immersed myself in the rich history of watchmaking, learning not just how timepieces work, but how they speak. About culture, engineering, style, and identity. I found myself captivated not just by famous references, but by the offbeat, the unusual, the overlooked. Watches with unconventional shapes, rare finishes, or stories that stretch far beyond the hour and minute hands.
This fascination eventually evolved into hash_watches, a platform through which I share my passion for vintage timepieces that stand out.
Not because they’re expensive, but because they have soul.
Based in Paris, I curate a selection of rare and exceptional watches, chosen for their design integrity, historical value, and condition.

Beyond curation, I also offer sourcing services for collectors in search of a specific model or something truly out of the ordinary.
