Exceptional prices and sales team

Communication with Karl was super efficient. Watch was priced amazingly and came in exactly the condition that was advertised. Shipment from Singapore to the UK was fast and trackable. I would definitely recommend buying from Timetells and would purchase another watch from them in the future.

Karl was extremely professional and knowledgeable in the watches he curates at Timetells. He was flexible with his time and able to articulate all the features of a complex watch (was buying a PP 5140G).
Will be going to Karl again next time I’m in Singapore and a throughly nice chap to do a deal with. Highly recommended

Had a great experience shopping at Karl's shop which is appointment only. It's quite suitable for people who have an idea on what they are after. His inventory has an emphasis on dress watches and high complication pieces unlike most grey dealers and his prices are pretty fair.

Great service and high quality items. I found it very convenient to be able to visit the shop and have items delivered in person directly at my hotel. Highly recommended.

Great experiences with Karl

Great experiences with Karl.

Quick response, fair prices for purchases, prompt payment post sale.

What’s also comforting is trust in his advice and guidance. Not often do you find a genuine, honest and sincere dealer like Karl.

Visited Timetells a couple of times to browse their thoughtfully curated collection of dress watches and was always impressed by their latest drops. Finally bit the bullet and purchased an uncommon early Lange 1 reference in a rose gold case with a black dial from Timetells when it appeared in their collection. Both Karl and Caleb were extremely professional and passionate about watches, and are always open to nerd out about watches with you. Definitely recommended, especially if you are looking for a meaningful and special dress piece to add to your collection!

TimeTells is an experience for any watch lover

TimeTells was an experience unlike any other in Singapore. Their curation is intentional and curated.

Karl, was an amazing host and it felt like talking to a friend. He’s a true enthusiast who knows watches and helped me curate a collection which is both versatile and elegant

I would highly recommend heading down to their showroom if you are shopping for your next timepiece

Great service. Trusted seller and company.

Always great service by Karl, whether the visit was intended to view the collection or purchase. Recently purchased a full set Patek in very good condition, which included the invoice for a recent service at Wheelock Place. This purchase was my 3rd purchase from TimeTells in a year. Well recommended for difficult to find watches and impeccable service by Karl and his business partner Caleb

Big kudos to Karl from TimeTells

Big kudos to Karl from TimeTells for the amazing service! In less than 24 hours, he managed to source the exact watch (Cartier Ref2357) I was looking for — truly impressive. The whole experience was fuss-free, professional, and incredibly easy. Karl is super responsive and great to deal with. Excited to continue expanding my collection through him. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trusted and efficient watch dealer!

Fair, Friendly and Full of great watches

First met Karl at his previous shop premises a couple of years ago when I drove down from Kuala Lumpur and bought a Breguet from him. Since then I have made repeated purchases as consistently, I love the watches he curates, pricing is always fair, and truly helps that he's a nice guy as well. If I were a gatekeeper, I would keep Timetells to myself, but honestly too good not to share. Keep it up Karl!

Great overall experience, and outstanding watch selection!

Karl was incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful in showing me some truly exquisite pieces. He took the time to understand the type of collection I’m looking to build and walked me through a number of watches over a couple of hours, never rushing the process. I initially went in planning to buy one watch, but ended up choosing something I hadn’t previously considered — and I’m absolutely thrilled with the purchase. I’ll definitely be back for another piece soon.
