Our Story & Promise

Vintage Japanese watches, hand-picked in Japan

Plum is a Japan-based curator of vintage Japanese watches. We hunt down Seiko, Citizen, Orient and other Japanese timepieces in their home market — the place where the finest examples have quietly survived — and ship them to collectors around the world.

For years, enthusiasts abroad relied on a handful of trusted Japanese dealers to access these watches. As several of them have stepped back, good vintage Japanese pieces have become harder than ever to reach from overseas. We exist to keep that door open: one collector in Japan, choosing each watch by hand.

Our promise on every watch

• Personally inspected & timed. Every watch is checked, wound, and timed before it is listed. We note how it runs.
• Honest condition, always. We describe the good and the bad — scratches, patina, service history — and show it in detailed photos. No surprises.
• Original where it matters. We favour original, unmodified pieces and tell you clearly when a part has been replaced or serviced.
• Sourced at the source. Located in Japan, we buy from the domestic market directly — the deepest pool of vintage Japanese watches in the world.
• Shipped with care, worldwide. Fast dispatch via FedEx or DHL, fully tracked and insured, carefully packed to arrive safely anywhere.

Why buy from Japan

Japanese sellers are known for meticulous condition disclosure, careful packing, and fast, secure international shipping. That reputation is something we take seriously and intend to earn with every order.
