Steven Rostovsky in the Beverly Hills showroom — where rare independent timepieces meet trusted expertise.
Below is our recent interview with Meryl Haley from Rostovsky Watches:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to your company?
A: Rostovsky Watches, based in Beverly Hills, is known for its curated inventory of rare and exotic new and pre-owned timepieces. Founded by longtime collector and industry expert Steven Rostovsky, the company has grown primarily through word-of-mouth, serving clients who seek watches not easily found at primary retailers or on the secondary market. With decades of experience and strong relationships with independent brands, Rostovsky Watches is trusted by collectors worldwide for its expertise, discretion, and access.
Q: What makes you the best choice? How are you unique?
A: We are collectors first, dealers second. With over 50 years of combined experience, our team understands watches from every angle — history, craftsmanship, and market value. We’re not just selling watches; we’re guiding clients in building collections, sourcing unique pieces, and navigating the ever-changing luxury watch landscape. That combination of passion, expertise, and industry relationships sets us apart.
Q: Who is your ideal client and why?
A: Our ideal client is a discerning collector who values quality, rarity, and trust. Whether they’re acquiring their first serious watch or expanding a sophisticated collection, we work with clients who want guidance, transparency, and access to watches that aren’t available anywhere else.

Q: What can we expect from you in the next 6 months? What are your plans?
A: We’re expanding our presence in the secondary market, especially as new tariffs shift buying habits toward collectible pieces already in the country. We’ll continue sourcing exceptional independent brands and rare models, while deepening our digital presence to reach collectors who can’t visit us in Beverly Hills.
Q: What is the best thing about your company that people might not know about?
A: We’re a small, highly specialized team, which means every client gets a personalized experience. Everything we offer is immediately available to inspect and try on or ship the same day a wire is received. Buying from us isn’t a transaction — it’s a relationship. Many of our clients become longtime friends who rely on us not just for watches, but for advice, collection strategy, and insider access.
