the story

In the rarefied world of vintage horology, few names carry the authority of Eric Wind. A trusted figure among collectors and connoisseurs, Eric founded Wind Vintage in 2017 with a clear mission: to source exceptional timepieces at every price point and to guide the most discerning clients in building collections of enduring significance.

His knowledge is the product of years immersed in the nuances of design, provenance, and market trends - insights honed during his tenure as Vice President and Senior Specialist at Christie’s.

There, he was instrumental in bringing some of the world’s most important watches to market, whether under the glare of the auctioneer’s lights or through the quiet discretion of private sales. Today, through Wind Vintage, Eric continues to navigate that delicate intersection of scholarship and style, where a watch is never just a mechanism, but a piece of history worn on the wrist.
