The person behind the watches

I’m Jacob.
A collector at heart.

I’m originally from Ohio, but South Carolina has been home since 2013. Today, I live in Mount Pleasant with my wife, our two daughters, and our two dogs.

Charleston Watch Exchange grew out of something personal: a love of watches and a decade spent buying and selling pre-owned pieces.

From hobby to Charleston Watch Exchange

Built on a personal passion.

For the past decade, I’ve bought and sold pre-owned watches for my own collection. What started as a hobby eventually became Charleston Watch Exchange—a business rooted in the same enthusiasm that drew me to watches in the first place.

Mount Pleasant is where my family and I have put down roots, and it’s where I’m building this next chapter. When you reach out to Charleston Watch Exchange, you’re talking directly with me.

Whether you’re looking for your next watch or considering selling or consigning one, I’d love to hear from you.

Life beyond the watches

Family. Home.
Mount Pleasant.

My wife, our two daughters, and our two dogs are the heart of my life here. Since moving from Ohio in 2013, South Carolina has become much more than a place to live—it’s home.
