Our Story
GAUTHIER SOURCES CLASSIC VINTAGE TIMEPIECES WITH A COMMITMENT TO QUALITY, AUTHENTICITY, CONDITION, AND TIMELESSNESS.
Founder Spencer Gauthier has passion for people and objects that last. He studied archaeology at UCLA, conducting fieldwork overseas. After graduating, he attended fashion school to learn garment construction and then worked in the New York office of one of the oldest textile companies on Savile Row.
A respected vintage watch boutique in Los Angeles recruited him to become store director. In that shop just off Rodeo Drive, he honed his expertise in vintage timepieces, handling thousands of them over the years.
An opportunity eventually arose to work in business development for a startup in the advertising industry. It became the largest influencer marketing company before it was sold for half a billion dollars.
Spencer transitioned into freelance copywriting, selling words and ideas, but ultimately decided he’d rather make people happy again by selling them physical objects that last. Quality vintage watches. Sourcing beautiful timepieces brought him back full circle to his roots in archaeology, perpetually in search of timeless pieces that endure in a world where everything seems to be disposable.
SELECTION
The aim of GAUTHIER is to provide a selection of classic wristwatches that will outlive us. They’ll last in quality, in condition, beauty, and style. Fine mechanical timepieces are one of the few objects of the past century that weren’t made to be thrown away. They’ve stood the test of time and will continue to do so. They’re honest watches, inside and out. So you can just wear them, and enjoy.
AUTHENTICATION AND SERVICE
CARE
It is our goal to make sure you are happy with your timepiece. We offer a convenient 7-day return policy and a 1 year mechanical warranty.
Every watch we sell is recently serviced by professional watchmakers, tested, and warranted for one year. If your watch requires routine servicing or repair after our warranty has expired, we will perform service or repair on your watch at our wholesale cost.
