History

The European Watch Company was founded on Newbury Street in Boston in 1993 by Albert Ganjei. [3] [4]

EWC sells classic and contemporary timepieces, including rare vintage models and limited editions from brands such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, F.P. Journe, and Vacheron Constantin. [5] [6] [7] Popular among watch collectors, EWC initially sold affordable watches. [5]

In 2018, Mitchell Levey succeeded Albert Ganjei as the chief executive officer of the company. Albert Ganjei remained the president of the company. [8] [9] In 2021, EWC's office and salesroom were relocated to the intersection of Clarendon and Dartmouth streets in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. [10]

In 2024, EWC wrote an anthology titled The Connoisseur's Guide to Fine Timepieces, which was published by Assouline, highlighting the notable watches collected and sold by the company over its history. [11] [12]

In October 2024, EWC acquired the digital assets of Crown & Caliber from Hodinkee. [13]
