- There is a discreetly situated corner in an almost unknown basement bazaar where you get wonderful old Swiss watches for a bargain. Plus, the watch man is a gem of a person.
Hey greetings from Indore, just saw this video. I'm glad to know about Mr. Javed Khan as his story resembles with my dad. He too is a horologist and is in this profession since last 50 years. Just like Mr. Khan he too is an expert in antique watches and has credit of repairing clocks as old as 200 years. I showed him this video. He's happy to know that there is someone like him, someone who shares the same story. Hope these two mechanical genius meet some day :)
Does your dad have a shop in indore? I'd love to visit
i'd love to visit too
@@musabthegreat yes, shop is in Indore, near Rambag, close to the Rajwada palace.
@@piyushdc9385 see you real soon in few days then
@@piyushdc9385 i am interested to Buy swiss made watches if Uncle have it for sell.
People might think that his shop is cheap and messy as well as complain about his lack of high tech equipment. Yet many legendary Swiss independent watchmakers create their masterpieces in such dusty and messy shops with old fashioned equipment.
Where is his shop in Delhi? How do I connect to him?
Phone number in the video
nobody's is complaining. stop projecting your own thoughts.
If I could afford, I would have helped him visit Switzerland. His kind of talent deserves to experience his inspiration first hand.
Brilliant article, Mayank! Kudos to your research!
Dude he can go all my himself, plz just don't berate the person. I went there and some watches are as high as 50k. So you know
@@ashokmansingh5498 lol, people with their mindset , he thought he is a watchmaker so he mst be poor
@Ashok mansingh can I get this person address or number if you have please??
Yeah man he would have been a millionaire now but its matter of luck and destiny of god
I think we guys should definitely do a fundraiser for him and tell his story their people would get inspired
In 2017 i went to him with a dead westend watch co made pocket watch which was used by my great great grandfather. I requested him to bring it to life and the humble man delivered. Still working pretty fine in 2023 keeping me attached to my lineage.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Where is he located?
@@newsjunkieishin the basement of new markazi market, near Nizamuddin dargah, Delhi
Marvellous !!! In a world of Quartz generation, Its a tiny piece of art/talent what he has got in his hands ... Delhi people should admire !!!
mint you have recognised right person , took him on youtube that's great thing , keep the good work up , i admired your work
People like him are the real jewels that run these marvelous timepieces.
I have fixed clocks since 1985 but I'm not a clock repairer and this is why I take of my hat to this Gentleman and from what I can see everything he is doing looks very good to me.
His hidden love for these old watches is clearly visible...how sweetly he laughes ... HOW PASSIONATE HE IS !!!
I BOW DOWN MY HEAD
All my respect to this man!
thank you mint for finding this person. have been meaning to revive my dad's Favre-Leuba, Sea King for a while but couldn't find anyone who could do the job so far. more power to him.
Pay him 100k .
@@ikram1081 why?
Hey hi! Have you been able to repair your dad's watch? My grandfather passed away back in 1990, and while going through some of his stuff recently i found his Favre Leuba Sea King. It's in working condition but has yellowed over the time. Could you maybe let me know where you got yours fixed from?
@@anujshah3897 you cant fix dial yellow issue
Brilliant stuff these craftsmen should be cherished in today's throwaway society.
Wow this chacha is still working without spectacles so accurately even the Swiss can't work in this way.... Salaam chacha
Where is his shop?
What a diamond of human being!
I wish him all the best and a healthy long life!
Rarely we get to see such humble souls with such great talent in this "digital era."
Respect to the skill, respect to the passion...
Music is art, and making watches is art, too.

Hats of his knowledge
Great story.
What a lovely gentleman I do hope he has been ok throughout this pandemic and that he can travel to Basel in switzerland one day he's not too old.
Mind blowing....
Looking at the comments I don't think people realize that most Frankenwatches (watches put together from parts of other watches) come from India. It is the exact opposite of what watchmaking is about, all originality is lost in that watch, parts that might be mended are discarded an replaced quickly with others. If you are a watch aficionado you know what I am talking about.
Ohh I exactly know what you are talking about. Some years ago I bought a Titoni and one Hilton from him. The tinoni had a broken rotor axle(thus making the auto winding useless), a crown which wasn't original and a repaint dial which wasn't mentioned. About the Hilton, only the dial was Hilton, the case and the caseback was HMT and the movement is a cheap Chinese one. I wish I was wiser then. I could be wrong but I feel most of his Enicar / Henry Sandoz / Fevre Leuba watches are exactly like that, franken.
It is true, most of the vintages in India are franken-watches and a majority come with repainted dials. Case, crown, caseback and dial swaps are so common, not to mention the movement parts. However, if you are a beginner in vintage watch collection, these cheap watches can be a perfect gateway and a learning experience. Moreover, I got a few watches from him which I absolutely love despite knowing they are not 100% original in parts assembly. But whatever the case many be, still better than the idiotic fashion watches so popular in the market.
@@ghgo9795 Yes, better than fashion watches.
Sir kiya aap ka pass old Rado vintage Watch hai.
I wish the video was longer
I really want to meet him someday and talk watches. I love people who have a deep knowlegde in horology.
It’s still open such a sweet guy ❤❤
I visited this shop on 20th march 2022 and meet this person he is very polite and nice but his charges for servicing the mechanical watch is very high he won't even service the watch he just change the entire machine of same make and model and keep original machine with himself. He asked me Rs9000 for my Roamer Popular, Seiko Automatic and WestEnd prima. So I decided to to get Roamer repaired after negotiation in rs.2500 from him..
Interesting part is that after coming back to my hometown in Khanna punjab I checked with local watch shops and got my west end and Seiko repaired in just Rs500.
So don't go with the popularity person can be nice but not customer friendly...
So he steals the original mechanism?
Please anyone tell me where he lives or his shop's address taki mai apni purani s-watch bnva sku🙂🙏
Amazing sir ,great to know about you and your humbleness .
We should start a fundraiser for him to switzerland
What is the address of this man. I want to meet him personally and take motivation and his blessings. Salute to him.

It is a shame he could not go to Switzerland.
Any link for this eBay seller please ??? I love vintage watches ☺☺☺
I don't think he sells. I think he services and repairs them only.
We sell as well, you can contact to 9711052575
Is he still there?
Can you tell us some watches name for men , which are under budget of every one.
start with Seiko my friend
Just as TheCham710 mentioned, you can start with Seiko. I would say that if you want a mechanical watch, you should look for the Seiko 5 series. You can find great quality at a very affordable price (normally starting at USD60-70). And when I refer to great quality I am talking about a very robust watch that can easily last decades if taken care appropriately.
But if I were you, I would not stop with Seiko, since the other 3 big Japanese brands can compete with Seiko in terms of quality, durability, design and price: Orient, Citizen and Casio.
If you want to see mechanical Orient watches, you can explore the Orient Tristar series (not the "Orient Star" as this is the most expensive and best watch they have). They should also be around USD 70. If you want to spend a little more, take a look at the gorgeous Orient Bambino series. Absolutely fantastic watches!!! (you can find them from USD 125-130).
On Citizen, the NH series is absolutely a must-see. And in Casio, take a look at their prestigious G-Shock (quartz, almost indestructible), the Edifice series or the legendary "Duro" (a VERY robust quartz watch for scuba divers that costs around USD 45-50).
Other than that, you can also take a look at some Swatch watches (affordable Swiss watches, with very good quality in general terms), and of course, Timex (another legendary brand with very robust quartz watches, starting at around USD 40).
delhi main best place to buy old hmt watches can anybody tell me
Could you please provide the location for the shop.
You can call Javed Jee on 97110 52575. The address is New Markazi Market, Nizamuddin West, near Barkat Home Guest House. I would request you to not bargain with him as he is a humble man and runs his business on slim margins. In fact, I usually give him a little extra, so he can continue working his magic for many years.
@@rg1283 what is the basic price of his watches?
Great

Swiss mechanical watches, old is gold. It seems to lasts forever. Unlike modern Quartz, vintage mechanical watches has a soul attached to it.
