Chapter I The heartbeat

Every watch begins as a heartbeat: a wheel stopped and released six times a second.

Halden & Vey is an independent dealer of fine watches in Chicago: new references from independent maisons, certified pre-owned pieces and an in-house service atelier.

What follows is our story in seven short chapters: the house, the watches we keep, the ones that come back, the bench upstairs, the room where you meet them, and what we have learned.

Begin with the house
