About
Mann About Time is a Geneva based vintage watch specialist, with a particular focus on Rolex from the 1940s to 1970s - alongside mid-century Patek Philippe, Universal Geneve, and other notable brands
Founder Robin Mann spent over 15 years in the Art Industry – first running a renowned Soho gallery, moving on to a position as Creative Director in a Shoreditch space, before ultimately opening a gallery with his partner. A period producing museum exhibitions and design consultant followed, all the while writing artist books and contributing to several publications, as well as advising young artists and conducting private sales.

It was collecting mechanical watches though, that had provided a ubiquitous respite from the arts, and one that saw a personal collection grow and evolve - Watches and Art, are after all, one and the same.
*
Mann About Time is a case study of an ardent collector with a fundamental purpose: to curate an evolving showcase of watches from when design, craft and skill actually mattered – all the while preserving these moments in history that bear the evidence of a life-lived.
If you're interested in either BUYING, SELLING, or SOURCING a particular watch, contact Mann About Time - specialising in Vintage Omega, Rolex, and other fine and collectable watches from the 1930s to 1980s.
