A Legacy of Time
The Story of the INDEPENDENTS Boutique
Our story begins with the renowned Ineichen Auction House, a name synonymous with rare watches,
and the celebration of
horological history
The Ineichen Legacy
Founded in 1973 by Peter Ineichen in Zurich, Switzerland, Ineichen Auctioneers quickly
became a
global authority in the
auctioning of luxury watches. Known for its meticulous curation and dedication to preserving
the
legacy of fine
watchmaking, Ineichen brought some of the world’s most coveted timepieces to collectors and
enthusiasts. From vintage
Rolexes to rare Patek Philippes, the auction house became a beacon for those who cherished
the
art of horology.

The Birth of the
INDEPENDENTS
Boutique
As the auction house grew, so did the vision to create a space where the love for the
art of independent watchmaking
could be celebrated beyond the auction room. The idea was simple yet profound: to
establish a boutique that would not
only showcase exceptional timepieces by independent watchmakers, but also offer an
immersive experience for watch
lovers. Thus, our boutique was conceived—a natural extension of the Ineichen legacy,
born out of decades of expertise
and a commitment to excellence.
A New Chapter in
Horology
More than just a retail space, our boutique was designed to be a destination for those
who appreciate the finer things
in life. We created a welcoming environment where collectors, enthusiasts, and newcomers
alike could enjoy various VIP
events featuring live classical music concerts and gourmet meals. Our lounge, inspired
by the elegance of the auction
house, offers a serene setting to admire timepieces, share stories, and immerse oneself
in the world of horology.
