An Introduction to Danny’s Vintage Watches
We’re excited to deliver a fresh new website and watch enthusiast channel, powered by you.
Hello! We’re glad you’re here. Many of you know Daniel, or @vintagewatchfam on Instagram. But what’s all this? What’s with the article? Who are the undeniably interesting and devilishly handsome watch enthusiasts putting this project together? (Yeah, we know that’s specifically your wording.)
To answer a few of those questions...
Danny’s Vintage Watches is the next step towards doing what we love full-time — and that’s collect, curate and tell stories about watches. Daniel Matatov, our founder and curator, has been collecting the coolest watches he could find since he was 15, living his entire life embedded in the wild world of Manhattan’s Diamond District.
Our new face to introduce is Josh Cameron (@iamjoshcameron on Instagram), a long-time collector and writer with a royal penchant for all things fine and vintage (though often on a peasant’s budget). Joshua is our founding editor and content director, telling stories and keeping our fresh new website working. With over 10 years of vintage watch collecting, dealing and writing between us, we’re creating what we want to see more of in the watch world.
We know what you’re thinking.
“Don’t we have enough watch blogs already?” Well, maybe. But we’re always on the lookout for content that caters to us, affordable vintage enthusiasts, and that’s become harder to find in the sea of watch content. There is already some fantastic work in this realm (thank you Craft + Tailored and Watch Chronicler), but we want more. What we are looking to share with Danny’s Vintage Watches is the content YOU want to see in watch media. We’re here to listen to you, to dive into topics you love and bring you the stories you’re dying to see more of.
We, like you, spend probably too much time hunting for those grail pieces. There's an inescapable excitement when you feel you’re closing in on that particular piece — and that’s the kind of journey we’re looking to share with you, along with other watch-related content requested by you.
So tell us what you’re looking for!
We’ll always have our ear to the ground and we’re committed to responding to every one of your comments and inquiries. Reach out through our Contact page or our Instagram — we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
Happy hunting,
Daniel & Josh
