Frank Miquel

Tell us about you and your business? Where are you located?

Our company and our classic Jewelry- and Watchstore are located in Upper Franconia in Bavaria in the city of Teuschnitz. Since more than 14 years we are specialized in selling high class watches for watch collectors and enthusiasts. Since 1999 we also offer our watches online. Most watches come from stock sales, jewelry store close downs, or private trade-ins so that our customers can benefit from these bargain deals. We are also an authorized dealer for several brands. Within the last years we built up a great reputation for pre-owned and vintage watches in and outside of Germany. We accurately check every single watch that leaves our store in order to provide the best possible quality.
