Vintage stock and the Dublin bench

Powerscourt Townhouse Centre · Dublin 2

A vintage and pre-loved watch shop in the city centre

Watch Empire sits on the second floor of the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, 59 William Street South, Dublin 2, D02 HV00. If you are looking for vintage or pre-loved watches in Dublin, this is the room. We used to be Kish Jewellers. Regulars still use that name.

The stock is pre-loved and vintage: Omega Seamasters, Cartier Tanks and Santos, the odd Rolex or Tudor, Jaeger-LeCoultre when we have one. If you want a watch you can try on, start with the shop. Monday to Saturday, 11:00 to 18:00.

We do not run a cart. Enquire, call 01 679 9107, or walk up from Grafton Street. The bench does battery replacement and strap replacement.

Happy customers

Watch Empire Experiences

I cannot thank the team…

I cannot thank Graham and the team at Watch Empire enough. The customer service they offered was exemplary. I felt completely at ease and I look forward to more purchases in future with them. Thanks.

Gianluca A.

Blown away by the craftsmanship

I used Watch Empire to service my father's vintage Seamaster. The movement was worn and tired. What came back was beyond expectation. Blown away by the craftsmanship.

Rob G.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience with Watch Empire. The product sent was exactly as expected and the perfect gift. Brilliant customer service and speedy delivery with a call to confirm the delivery date.

Amelia A.

Brought a vintage Cellini in for a new strap. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and helped me get exactly what I wanted. Very professional and knowledgeable.

What we can do

Same bench, same stairs, since 2012

We opened in Dublin as Kish Jewellers and still sit on the second floor of Powerscourt. Vintage watches on the trays, a watchmaker on the same floor, and a number that a person answers. That is the shop. The rest is people climbing the stairs from Grafton Street.
