Timeshop24 – a small success story
What began in the year 2001 with the personal passion for the first own high-quality watch by the founder and managing director Oliver Bolk has continued to this day. From the beginning it was clear that the possibilities of the Internet, together with a highly emotional product, would lay a good foundation for long-term success.
Today, however, the company has grown out of its infancy, and more and more priority goals such as customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, speed in order processing and the expansion of well-known and new trade relationships are in the foreground of interest.
For us there is no better success than when customers express their satisfaction and consider us also with the next watch purchase. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our existing customers and those who still want to become our customers.
