Solent Timepieces, a company that specialises in pre-owned luxury watches.
Who We Are
Meet the Owner
Lewis Luxford, founder of Solent Timepieces, has a long-standing passion for fine watches, craftsmanship, and the stories behind some of the world’s most iconic timepieces.
With years of hands-on experience sourcing, authenticating, and trading luxury watches, Lewis founded Solent Timepieces with a clear vision: to create a trusted, transparent destination where customers can buy and sell pre-owned luxury watches with complete confidence.
Lewis is closely involved in every aspect of the business — from sourcing and authentication to customer experience. Ensuring that each watch meets the standards Solent Timepieces is known for. His approach is built on integrity, attention to detail, and a genuine appreciation for horology, values that continue to shape the company as it grows.
Our Mission
To make luxury watches accessible and affordable — without compromise.
At Solent Timepieces, we are firm believers that a happy customer is a returning customer. Our mission is to ensure that every client walks away from their purchase feeling confident, valued, and reassured that they have received a truly great watch at a fair and competitive price.
We are committed to delivering an exceptional experience at every stage. From transparent condition grading and honest advice, to secure delivery and attentive after-sales support. By putting trust, integrity, and long-term relationships at the heart of everything we do, we aim to build lasting connections with our customers, not just one-off transactions.
A Legacy of Trust
Based in the heart of Portsmouth, we take pride in building lasting relationships with our clients. Transparency, integrity, and customer satisfaction are the cornerstones of everything we do.
At Solent Timepieces, luxury is more than a label; it’s an experience and one we’re proud to offer at an exceptional value.
Over the past three years, Solent Timepieces has successfully sold thousands of luxury watches to customers across the UK, building a reputation for quality, transparency, and exceptional service.
This experience allows us to confidently source, authenticate, and present timepieces to the high standards our customers expect — whether they are purchasing their first luxury watch or adding to an established collection.
