With all that’s happened this week and the fact that the most recent A Day in the Life Of – Episode #24 ended with Farrer walking off camera, after having an argument with co-founder Nicolini, it was clear, at least to me (who again has been following the show), that it’s all part of the ongoing narrative, not an authentic disagreement.Īnother detail worth considering is that Farrer has often talked about trying to get their show picked up by Netflix or Amazon. Not to mention, a few episodes back, Farrer was speaking with his administrative team and they explicitly discussed how an all-new website was almost ready to go. We know they’ve been planning to move to a larger retail space (or multiple locations) to accommodate their rapid growth, for months, and in fact, in one of the most recent videos, Farrer told their commercial real estate agent that they needed to have a new lease signed as soon as possible to meet an impending deadline. But that’s not proof anything dubious has happened. Of course, the blackout was unexpected, even amongst the closest friends of the show. Most tellingly, their flagship YouTube channel is still online.Īs a background to those that have never seen the show, it’s weekly “A Day in the Life Of” YouTube show about being a secondary watch dealer and it’s not scripted per se, but as someone that’s watched all episodes - because it offers an interesting and educational behind-the-scenes look at the secondary watch market - there’s clearly a storyline. Also important to note, the website being set to “Private Site” does not mean it was deleted, and social media accounts can typically be set to private or paused without actually deleting them. In fact, the lawyer went on record to say that all investors who have put in money to be part of their VIP watch network have been able to reach the team during this media blackout. Running off with investors’ money is definitely illegal, but as the lawyer representing The Timepiece Gentleman rightly stated ( i n this video from today), there’s no evidence that Anthony Farrer or his business partner Marco Nicolini ran away with anyone’s money. Going dark on social media is not something an active company typically does - although Bottega Veneta famously deleted all of its social media accounts earlier this year. The collection of TimePiece Gentleman luxury items is available to shop on their official website and Instagram profile.The Timepiece Gentleman is a Dallas-based secondary watch dealer that has become rather famous over the past few years, leading up to this week when all its social media channels went dark. Timepiece Trading’s collection consists of an elite range of luxury brands including Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Omega, Hublot, and more. Having more reach worldwide has allowed Anthony to over time build up TimePiece Gentleman’s exclusive collection of luxury watches. Utilizing social channels has allowed Anthony to connect with more clients than ever before allowing him to reach such high sales goals. In 2020 Timepiece Gentleman reached their goal of reaching $10 million in revenue and in 2021 they 4x that, surpassing $40 million in revenue.Īnthony has been able to leverage the power of social media to keep fans and clients connected to the growth of his business. Before coming to Los Angeles, Anthony set sales goals for his company which set him up for success in conquering the world of LA. With such a steep price tag not anyone can occupy this sophisticated apartment. Anthony plans to use theluxury penthouse as the headquarters for Timepiece Gentleman. The luxury two-level penthouse has a record monthly rent of $95,000 and boasts 19,300 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, 18-foot-tall floor-to-ceiling windows, complete to the highest degree with a rock climbing wall, private rooftop pool, fitness center, game room, steam room and sauna. In 2021 Anthony signed a 2 year lease agreement securing one of LA’s most expensive apartments with the 53 story tower 825 South Hill in Downtown Los Angeles. He hasn’t looked back since, and Timepiece Gentleman is now an 8-figure company. After seeing how much he could make in a matter of a day, Anthony used the profits to buy another watch and kept the cycle going. In an effort to recover from this setback Anthony sold his first wristwatch earning a $500 profit on his first sale. Living in Dallas, Anthony faced some setbacks ending up in prison for a DUI. Although Anthony’s clientele comes from all over the globe, Anthony recently relocated TimePiece Gentleman from Dallas to Los Angeles and is now offering its services and luxury watch collection to the LA market. Within only 5 years’ time, Anthony Farrer of TimePiece Gentleman has managed to solidify himself and his company in the watch industry as the go to company for a trusted buying and selling luxury watch experience.
