2025 at Belmont Watches: Our Biggest Year Yet, and We Couldn’t Have Done It Without You
2025 at Belmont Watches: Our Biggest Year Yet, and We Couldn’t Have Done It Without You
If you visited our showroom, purchased a watch or a piece of jewelry, asked us for guidance, sent a referral, or even just followed along online, we want to start with the most important thing we can say:
Thank you.
2025 was the biggest year in Belmont Watches history. Not just because of the milestones, but because of what they represented. Growth that came from trust. Momentum built on relationships and a community of collectors who care about these pieces and the stories behind them as much as we do.
We are collectors first, and we appreciate that our clients are just as enthusiastic about watches as we are. Your repeat business and referrals mean everything to us. You make this possible.
A Year of Major Growth and Big Steps Forward
In 2025, Belmont took several major steps that shaped our future.
We expanded the Belmont team and entered the jewelry world
In April, we welcomed Alex Brown to the team. Alex is a true professional with an incredible eye and a passion for craftsmanship. With Alex joining Belmont, we expanded into:
-
Fine jewelry
-
Custom jewelry
-
Engagement rings
This expansion has been one of the most meaningful parts of our year. It gave us the opportunity to play a role in some of the most important moments in our customers’ lives.
One story that stands out involved a grandmother in hospice who gave her daughter a broken emerald and sapphire bracelet. The daughter brought it to us with one goal, to preserve the story and pass it on. We transformed that bracelet into two emerald and sapphire bands, which were given to her granddaughters for Christmas. Moments like that remind us why this work matters.
We opened a new walk-in showroom and nearly tripled our space
In March, we moved into our new suite at:
Belmont Watches
861 Sixth Ave. Suite 712
San Diego, CA 92101
We created a collector-focused, no-pressure showroom that offers watches and jewelry in a casual and comfortable lounge. We designed it based on a whiskey tasting room. The goal was to create a space where you can slow down, see incredible pieces in person, and enjoy the process of buying a watch or jewelry.
Whether you are looking for your first luxury watch or you are building a collection, our showroom provides a comfortable experience that will leave you over the moon with your ability to see so many models in person.
Walk-ins are always welcome.
Authorized Dealer milestones, and more to come
2025 was also a major year for Belmont as we expanded our authorized dealer partnerships.
-
In January, we began carrying Nivada Grenchen
-
In June, we became an Authorized Dealer for Doxa
-
In September, we became an Authorized Dealer for Favre Leuba
These partnerships mean a lot to us. They represent trust in our standards, service, and customer experience.
Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to add new authorized brands and continue expanding our selection. We are also launching our first custom watch with Doxa, centered around a story that has been classified for years. It is going to be something super special. You don't want to miss it.
A better online experience for our customers
In October, we launched a fully updated Belmont Watches website. The goal was simple: a faster, easier, more enjoyable shopping experience.
The new site makes it easier to browse inventory, explore collections, and connect with our team. The online experience is designed to reflect what it feels like to work with Belmont in person: clear communication, helpful guidance, and a smooth process from start to finish.
More inventory, without compromising standards
We doubled our inventory in 2025, allowing us to offer a broader selection and help more customers find the exact piece they have been looking for.
That growth comes with responsibility, and our standard has not changed. Accurate descriptions, great photos, fair pricing, and clear communication are always our priority.
As one customer put it:
“I visited Belmont Watches and they were extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable… true watch enthusiasts… and provided me with a fantastic experience.”
Alan
Another collector with decades of experience shared:
“Belmont Watches were very good at communications… very versed in customer service and deserve my 5 star rating.”
Raymond
The best part of 2025: The stories
The most meaningful moments of this year were not the numbers. It was being invited into the moments that matter most.
This year, we helped customers find:
-
Engagement and wedding watches
-
Graduation gifts
-
Retirement celebrations
-
First luxury watch moments
-
Multi-generation collecting pieces
We allocated a 1970 Omega Speedmaster 145.022-69 Apollo XI with papers for a customer who had been searching for the right one for five years.
We allocated someone’s dream Rolex after a seven-year journey. A Rolex Day-Date 128238 green ombré dial that she had wanted for years. Seeing the joy that came with that moment is exactly why we do this.
We helped a gentleman after a ten-year journey to find a Rolex identical to the one his father wears. That was not just a watch, it was a piece of family history.
We also had many customers travel from out of state to buy watches in person because of the unique collection we’ve built. If you made the trip, thank you. It means the world to us.
One customer wrote:
“It felt like I was their most important client.”
Steve
Another said:
“Just received my third watch from Belmont… great communication, fair prices, quick shipping… 100% recommend.”
Matt
And another shared:
“It’s wonderful when you can speak with people and trust a seller like this.”
Eric
Thank you for your trust, referrals, and repeat business
Repeat customers and referrals are one of the greatest compliments we can receive. We never take it for granted that you choose Belmont.
We are collectors first, and we love that our customers are just as passionate as we are. Every purchase, every conversation, every trade, and every life milestone you invite us into is something we genuinely appreciate.
Thank you for helping make 2025 our biggest year yet.
Looking ahead to 2026
We are incredibly excited for what is coming next.
In 2026, you can expect:
-
New authorized brands
-
More inventory across watches and jewelry
-
More jewelry in stock, including custom and engagement work
-
The launch of our first custom Doxa watch with a story that has been classified for years
We cannot wait to continue building this with you.
