The Story Behind Roy & Sacha Davidoff
Where published expertise and rare specialization define Geneva's most discerning vintage collectors.
Founded in 2013 by brothers Roy and Sacha Davidoff, this Geneva boutique emerged from decades of professional immersion in the watch industry. Roy, a trained gemologist, spent his career at prestigious houses including Bovet, IWC, and Jacob & Co., while Sacha brought international market experience from roles across Miami, Japan, and Geneva. Together, they accumulated over 30 years of horological knowledge that transcends typical dealer expertise. Rather than chase volume, Roy and Sacha chose a deliberate path: become the world's foremost authority on vintage Omega Speedmasters. In 2015, they co-authored "The Ultimate Speedmaster Exhibition," cataloging 40 of the world's rarest references with meticulous historical documentation, converting expertise from claim into documented fact. Their Speedmaster authority now commands recognition from Hodinkee, YouTube's most respected watch channels, and major auction houses including Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips, where they regularly advise on valuation and provenance.
The brothers operate with uncompromising curation discipline. With approximately 100 watches in inventory, they refuse the volume-driven model that dominates modern dealing. Each acquisition reflects their "discerning eye, attention to detail" philosophy, actively sourcing rare references globally, rejecting pieces that fall short of condition or originality standards, and building personal relationships with collectors rather than pursuing marketplace arbitrage. Their inventory spans CHF 1,500 to CHF 150,000+, from entry Tudor pieces to prototype Speedmasters and ultra-rare references. This selectivity attracts serious collectors willing to travel to Old Town and engage in intimate consultations about horological history, provenance authentication, and investment merit.
The Experience

Visits are strictly by appointment, ensuring undistracted conversation with either brother about watch history, movement development, and authentication rigor. The intimate atmosphere prioritizes personal attention over transaction velocity. Beyond retail, the brothers offer professional servicing, band changes, and vintage-specific maintenance, extending their expertise beyond selling into custodianship. Their recognition as the "Unofficial Mayors of Geneva" reflects not market dominance but intellectual authority. For collectors seeking documented rarity authenticated by globally published experts, where every acquisition carries the weight of 30+ years of industry immersion and proven Speedmaster mastery, Roy & Sacha Davidoff represent Geneva's gold standard.
