Stay tuned to Watchonista.com and Watches Of Switzerland’s partner page as we will unveil more in the coming days and weeks!
Is Watchonista now selling watches?
Since our founding, we’ve been an editorially based web site. Watchonista is not a selling platform. While many other watch sites have entered the world of e-commerce, we stand by our commitment to educate and communicate the best in watchmaking through fresh editorials and social media coverage. We feel that by partnering with key retailers that offer personalized service in physical boutiques, we can help elevate our readers’ retail experiences.
Connections to Collectors
Watchonista is produced, edited, and written by a group of people who are passionate about watches, doing what they love best. We share our knowledge and passion with our audience and network of enthusiasts through our online magazine (Watchonista.com), social media, and collector’s events. Watchonista was founded by watch collectors and to this day we continue to collaborate with passionate people around the world who love watches.
