ABOUT THE ART OF TIME
The Art of Time sources, consigns, and advises on luxury and investment-grade watches in the secondary market.
Founded in 2023 by Christian Bruhn, a 75th Ranger Regiment and Special Operations veteran, the name was chosen deliberately. Horology is, at its core, the study and art of time. Objects and artifacts from any era can be viewed as arts of time in their own right. And time itself, how it's spent, is an art. The name was built to outlast watches specifically, because what you see today is the beginning, not the finished version of what The Art of Time will become.
We Offer:
- Concierge Sourcing. We locate and acquire specific references through our network for clients building or completing a collection.
- Consignment. We sell on your behalf. Every watch is consigned, not bought outright, so it's priced and marketed for full value rather than a discounted buyout.
- Collection Audits, Optimization, and Roadmaps. A review of what you own, what to move, and what to acquire next, with a roadmap to get there.
- Paid Consults. Structured, one-on-one guidance for buying or selling on the secondary market.
- Inventory. In-house pieces, in stock and ready to ship, authenticated and tested before they're listed.
How many minutes does it take to trust someone with a five- or six-figure watch? Longer than a sales pitch. That's why we've put out 400+ minutes of long-form content across 60+ videos, plus over 150 short-form videos for more than 530 minutes of watch-market education altogether, on buying, selling, authentication, and pricing, and it's growing every week. Whenever you're reading this, these numbers will be a distant past.
This is the smallest these channels will ever be again. The media side isn't slowing down either; there are bigger plans in motion for how The Art of Time shows up in this market, beyond sourcing, consignment, and collection work.
Every watch we sell is authenticated, inspected, and tested on arrival, then verified again before it ships.
