About Veritime
A Lifetime Dedicated to Watchmaking
Founded in 2011 by renowned watch industry veteran Neil Duckworth, Veritime is an independent luxury watch retailer built upon more than four decades of experience within the world of fine watchmaking.
Neil's journey began in 1982 when he introduced Heuer watches to the UK market, helping establish the foundations of what would later become TAG Heuer. Over the following two decades, he developed an exceptional understanding of the luxury watch industry, working closely with some of the most respected names in Swiss watchmaking while building a reputation for expertise, integrity and genuine passion for horology.
In 2011, Neil founded Veritime with a simple vision: to create a specialist watch retailer focused on exceptional brands, personal service and long-term relationships with collectors and enthusiasts.
Today, Veritime represents a carefully curated portfolio of independent and heritage watch brands, offering customers access to distinctive mechanical timepieces chosen for their craftsmanship, innovation and authenticity.
Independent by Nature
In a market increasingly dominated by large retail groups, Veritime remains proudly independent.
Every brand represented by Veritime has been selected personally based on quality, heritage and long-term belief in the products themselves. Rather than offering hundreds of brands, Veritime focuses on a carefully chosen collection that reflects Neil's decades of experience and appreciation for exceptional watchmaking.
As the official UK representative for Favre Leuba and the home of Duckworth Prestex, Veritime offers collectors access to watches that stand apart from the mainstream luxury market.
This independent approach allows us to provide a level of expertise, personal service and product knowledge that is increasingly rare within modern retail.
Favre Leuba – Swiss Watchmaking Since 1737
Favre Leuba is one of the oldest names in Swiss watchmaking, with a remarkable history stretching back to 1737.
Renowned for its pioneering spirit and adventurous heritage, Favre Leuba has spent generations developing innovative mechanical watches designed for exploration, performance and everyday reliability. From the bold Chief collection to the technically impressive Deep Raider and Sea Sky ranges, Favre Leuba continues to create distinctive Swiss timepieces that combine heritage with contemporary design.
As an official UK partner, Veritime is proud to support the ongoing revival of one of Switzerland's most historic watch manufacturers.
Duckworth Prestex – British Design, Independent Spirit
Created by Neil Duckworth himself, Duckworth Prestex combines traditional British design values with modern mechanical watchmaking.
Inspired by classic watchmaking heritage and decades of industry experience, the collection includes the Verimatic, Parker, Broadgate GMT, Swiss Diver and Chronograph ranges. Each watch is designed to offer exceptional value, timeless styling and dependable mechanical performance for enthusiasts who appreciate independent watchmaking.
Duckworth Prestex represents everything Veritime stands for — authenticity, craftsmanship and a passion for creating watches with genuine character.
Expert Service Beyond The Sale
At Veritime, purchasing a watch is only the beginning of the relationship.
