Who We Are

Founded by Charles Oliver Burns - BBC The Apprentice candidate and WatchPro Award winner.

WatchMarketplace is a 3rd generation luxury watch institution based in the heart of Manchester. 

While our business is designed for the modern collector, our foundation is built on a family legacy dating back to Arthur Kay & Bro (Est. 1897). 

We bridge the gap between the traditional "family jeweller" values and the modern demand for immediate access to the world's most sought-after timepieces.
