History

The European Watch Company was founded on Newbury Street in Boston in 1993 by Albert Ganjei.[3][4]

EWC sells classic and contemporary timepieces, including rare vintage models and limited editions from brands such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, F.P. Journe, and Vacheron Constantin.[5][6][7] Popular among watch collectors, EWC initially sold affordable watches.[5]

In 2018, Joshua Ganjei succeeded Albert Ganjei as the chief executive officer of the company. Albert Ganjel remained the president of the company.[8][9] In 2021, EWC's office and salesroom were relocated to the intersection of Clarendon and Dartmouth streets in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood.[10]

In 2024, EWC wrote an anthology titled The Connoisseur's Guide to Fine Timepieces, which was published by Assouline, highlighting the notable watches collected and sold by the company over its history.[11][12]
