About JD Watches
JD Watches is more than a luxury watch retailer — it’s a legacy built on vision, trust, and timeless craftsmanship.
Our story began in the early 1990s, when Aleksander Matatov arrived in the United States with a passion for fine timepieces and a dream of building something lasting. Starting with a modest booth on Canal Street in downtown Manhattan, Aleksander earned a reputation for integrity, precision, and unparalleled knowledge in the world of horology.
Through dedication, hustle, and a deep understanding of the value behind every watch, that small booth grew into something much greater. Over the decades, JD Watches evolved into a cornerstone of New York City's luxury watch scene — now headquartered in the heart of Manhattan on 46th Street, steps away from the Diamond District.
Today, the business is led by Aleksander’s son, Robert Matatov, who has carried the torch into a new era. What began as a wholesale operationsupplying dealers and collectors has transformed into a full-scale retail experience, serving clients both online and in person with the same care and expertise the business was built on.
With over 30 years in the industry, JD Watches has earned its reputation as a trusted source for hard-to-find, authenticated timepieces from the most sought-after brands in the world — including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, and more.
Our credibility is reflected in our long-standing partnerships and seller status with platforms such as Chrono24, Walmart Marketplace, Amazon, and luxury destinations like The Four Seasons. Every watch is meticulously inspected, verified for authenticity, and delivered with white-glove service — because we believe buying a luxury timepiece should be just as special as owning one.
Whether you're an experienced collector or purchasing your first statement piece, JD Watches offers a curated, trustworthy, and personal approach to luxury watch buying. Our legacy is your assurance.
