Named for people who
taught me to look closer.
RKR is named for my grandparents — Raymond and Katherine "Kitty" Ratchen — both devoted lovers of fine jewelry and watches. Their appreciation for craftsmanship shaped the way I see horology today.
One of my most prized possessions is my grandfather's late-1950s Omega in 18-karat gold, stamped Tiffany & Co. — restored in 2016 by Omega in Switzerland with period-correct parts they still maintain today.
That watch is why I understand what a timepiece means — beyond movement, beyond market value. I've been collecting and trading for over 15 years, primarily on a wholesale basis among trusted friends and fellow collectors. RKR is that network, brought directly to you.
Every piece I offer comes from genuine conviction. I don't list watches I wouldn't wear, and I don't sell to people I haven't spoken with.
How Working
With RKR Works
No showroom, no commission pressure, no automated replies. Just a direct conversation with someone who cares about the piece as much as you do.
Review the current inventory or describe what you're looking for — a reference, a brand, a budget. I source across both coasts and maintain relationships with serious collectors.
No form letters. You'll hear from me directly. We'll talk through the piece, the condition, the provenance. If you're in Del Mar or New York, we meet in person.
Your timepiece arrives complete — watch, original box, papers, and all provenance. Insured, discreet, exactly as discussed.
