Daniel Matatov's journey into the world of horology began in the heart of Manhattan's Diamond District, a place where the hustle and bustle of commerce and the glimmer of jewels could easily dazzle a young mind. But for Daniel, it wasn't just the allure of diamonds that caught his eye—it was the intricate, ticking treasures that adorned the wrists of those who passed through the district.

At just 15 years old, Daniel found himself mesmerized by the world of watches. It wasn't long before his curiosity turned into a full-blown passion. But the true catalyst for his deep-seated love of vintage timepieces was a seemingly insignificant gold-plated Croton watch he discovered in his grandfather's garage. This watch, overlooked by many, held a special place in Daniel’s heart. It was more than just a timepiece; it was a connection to his roots, to the stories and memories of his grandfather.

The Croton wasn’t just a watch—it was the spark that ignited Daniel’s journey. He was so captivated by it that he even made it the subject of a public speaking class in college. His classmates, puzzled by his poetic devotion to this old, worn watch, couldn't understand why he spoke of it as if his life depended on it. But that’s what passion looks like—an unshakable love for something that others might dismiss as ordinary.

Daniel’s appreciation for all things vintage—watches, art, homes—was deeply influenced by his grandfather, a man who valued the stories behind the objects. This appreciation became the foundation upon which Daniel built Danny’s Vintage Watches. He recognized that the world of vintage watches could be intimidating, especially for those who were new to it. The watches were fragile, often faked, and the gray market sellers could be daunting. But Daniel saw this challenge as an opportunity. He wanted to demystify the process, to make it accessible for everyone to experience the magic of vintage timepieces without the pretension or the pitfalls.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the surge in the pre-owned watch market pushed Daniel to turn his passion into a full-time pursuit. What started as a fascination became a profession, and Danny’s Vintage Watches was born. Since then, Danny’s Vintage Watches has sold thousands of watches to consumers around the world, with a unique ethos: making time travel possible.

Every watch sold by Danny’s Vintage Watches carries with it a story, a piece of history, and a connection to the past. Just like the Croton watch that started it all, these timepieces are more than just objects; they are vessels of memories, waiting to be cherished by their next owners. Daniel’s journey from a young boy in Manhattan’s Diamond District to the founder of a successful vintage watch business is a testament to the power of passion, persistence, and the stories that bind us to the things we love.
