Located in the affluent Alamo Heights suburb of San Antonio, Texas, Exclusive Timepieces© Luxury Watches has been cultivating the standards for luxury timepieces in South Texas for over forty years. It’s within the newly adorned walls of their 2,700 square-foot flagship boutique, a culmination of a three-year project, that collectors and enthusiasts alike are greeted personally by the owners, a rare touch in one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation.
“Our friends and clients visit us from all over the world for prestige and exclusivity,” states Pete Moreno, President and Founder of Exclusive Timepieces. “As owners, we would never take them in a direction that we wouldn’t take ourselves. Whether it be investing in a ten-thousand-dollar piece or a hundred-thousand-dollar piece.”
“We specialize in luxury watch brands of the highest pedigree,” adds Fabian Moreno, Co-director and youngest member of the Exclusive Timepieces family. “If a brand is in our showroom, it’s because we believe in it. These are brands that any of our clients would be proud to add to their collections.”
This guiding belief is on full display as evidenced by the impressive roster of brands keeping in line with their namesake. Brands like Louis Moinet, named after the famed inventor of the Chronograph, of which some pieces contain authentic fossilized dinosaur bone over 150 million years old. CVSTOS, a brand that implements high-grade titanium and full-sapphire cases in radical and contemporary designs and Backes & Strauss, the oldest diamond house in the world known for their unapologetically bold and opulent diamond-set timepieces.
“It’s important to have a foot in both spheres,” says Fabian. “We can’t move forward without knowing where we’ve been, and these brands exemplify the traditional and contemporary facets of luxury watchmaking. The fact that they tell time is just a plus.”
