In Romania, “Sarut mana” is an old-world greeting—a gesture of respect, meaning “I kiss your hand.” It’s a symbol of honoring the past, of showing appreciation for the beauty and grace that came before us. At Galleria Dojan, this greeting represents exactly that: a deep reverence for timeless pieces that have traveled through decades, carrying stories and memories with them.

Galleria Dojan was born from my personal journey of discovering the beauty of vintage items. My grandfather, Dojan, was at the heart of that journey. Visiting my grandparents in Romania, I became enchanted by their collection of old treasures. It was as though every object in their home was a time capsule, holding a piece of history. One day, I stumbled upon a small vintage trunk—an experience that forever changed how I view the past. That moment sparked my love for rare and beautiful things, a passion for preserving the stories they hold.

As I grew, my fascination with vintage only deepened. Modern things no longer appealed to me. Instead, I found myself drawn to what we can’t simply buy anymore—things that are timeless, rare, and nostalgic. With Galleria Dojan, I’ve curated a collection of vintage watches that reflect my personal style and my deep respect for the past.

Every piece tells a story. My hope is that Galleria Dojan inspires you to find beauty in the things that time has touched. After all, these watches are more than accessories—they are a testament to how we’ve evolved, and how some things remain timeless.

We're embodying a style that truly never ends...
