About Us

The Belgian Watch Fair is organized by Time Counts BV, a company that is equally owned by Bart, Matthias, Jurgen, and Peter-Jan. Time Counts is not only the organizer behind the fair, but also an established vintage watch seller. With years of experience in the watch world, we know exactly what our audience is looking for. As a result, we’ve created an event that is tailored to both seasoned collectors and newcomers, offering a unique opportunity to buy, sell, and appreciate watches in a comfortable and modern environment.

​

Our mission is to ensure that the fair stays focused on what matters: great watches, a welcoming atmosphere, and an engaging experience for all attendees.

​

Here’s a little more about us:

• Bart: A freelance IT architect in his 40s, Bart has been a watch collector for over 8 years, having owned hundreds of watches in the process. With a deep knowledge of both new and vintage watches, he is recently become particularly passionate about watch modding in his journey.

• Matthias: A teacher by day and vintage watch expert by night, Matthias has been trading watches for over a decade. He’s known for his sharp eye when it comes to spotting Frankenstein watches and has extensive experience selling watches at fairs, which brings a fresh, customer-centric approach to the event.

• Jurgen: An entrepreneur in his 50s and owner of a food truck business, Jurgen is also an avid vintage watch enthusiast. He’ll ensure that the Belgian Watch Fair isn’t just about watches but also about excellent food and drinks, enhancing your overall experience. Also, he knows very well what a demanding customer wants.

• Peter-Jan: The youngest of the group, Peterjan is in his 20s and works for the Belgian Military while also being a passionate vintage watch trader. His youthful energy and fresh ideas will bring a dynamic edge to the fair, and with his experience in watch fairs, he knows how to make the event stand out.

 

Together, we are committed to creating an upscale yet accessible event that blends tradition with modern flair. The Belgian Watch Fair is about more than just watches—it’s about community, connection, and revitalizing the classic watch fair experience. We look forward to seeing you there!
