The founders of Stahlmann: Expertise and passion for vintage watches

Justin Wichmann and Louis Schoch, the founders of Stahlmann GbR, have shared a passionate fascination with technology and mechanics since their youth. During their childhood and adolescence, they experimented with motors, electronics, and anything that could be taken apart and put back together. This curiosity about complex mechanical systems eventually led them to the world of watches. What began as an interest in modern timepieces quickly developed into a deep enthusiasm for the history and craftsmanship of vintage watches.

With growing passion, they began to delve deeply into the subject – studying specialist literature, attending trade fairs, and forging valuable contacts in the watchmaking world. Their expertise grew steadily, ultimately leading to the founding of Stahlmann – a company specializing in the trade of exquisite vintage watches. Their carefully curated selection includes select pieces from various eras and brands, among them sought-after sports models, elegant dress watches, and precise chronographs, all distinguished by their excellent condition.

For the two of them, trading in these timepieces is far more than just a business. It's the fulfillment of their passion and the opportunity to share their enthusiasm with a community of watch lovers. They advise their customers with great dedication and share their knowledge in online articles.

The story of Justin and Louis shows that it is never too late to discover a passion and turn it into a career – an inspiring journey of curiosity, constant development and the joy of sharing knowledge and enthusiasm with others.
