From watch mods to luxury timepieces.
Archie Times Co. was born from a lifelong fascination with watches — not from a traditional retail background.
My name is Arquimedes Rivero Jr. “Archie.” Watches have fascinated me since I was a child. I was always drawn to the design, mechanics and personality of a good watch, and Omega was one of the brands that captured my imagination early on.
That interest stayed with me throughout my life and eventually grew into collecting, reviewing and modifying watches. I became fascinated by how something as simple as changing a crystal, bezel or bracelet could completely transform the character of a watch.
Casio Duro mods were an important part of that beginning and helped shape the idea behind Archie Times Co.: finding interesting watches, understanding what makes them special, and presenting them honestly.
Over time, that passion naturally expanded into mechanical watches and luxury timepieces from brands such as Panerai, Omega, Tudor, Longines and others.
Today, Archie Times Co. brings together enthusiast watches and carefully selected luxury timepieces under one philosophy:
Curated Watches. Honest Reviews.
A Personal Approach
I personally select the watches offered by Archie Times Co. Every piece is photographed individually, described as accurately as possible, and chosen because I find something compelling about its design, value, history or character.
Transparency Matters
With pre-owned and luxury watches, details matter.
Condition, accessories, box and papers, service history when available, straps, bracelets and any modifications are disclosed as clearly as possible.
The photographs you see are of the actual watch being offered unless specifically stated otherwise.
Archie Times Co. is an independent watch company and is not an authorized dealer for the watch brands offered on this website.
More Than a Store
Archie Times Co. is built around watch content, honest opinions, reviews, comparisons and stories.
Buying a watch should be about more than specifications — it should be about understanding what gives a watch its character and why it is worth wearing.
Whether it is a Casio Duro, a SteelDive, a Tissot or a Panerai, the philosophy remains the same:
Every watch has a story. The right one should become part of yours.
