Matthew Bain Inc. | Custodians of Horological Tradition & Luxury Timepieces.

Founded in 1989 by renowned watch specialist Matthew Bain, Matthew Bain Inc. has spent nearly four decades establishing itself as a premier global destination for rare, vintage, and highly collectible luxury timepieces. Operating out of a sophisticated office in the heart of Coral Gables, Florida, the firm serves an elite international clientele of passionate collectors, enthusiasts, and luxury retailers.

Our Story & Unmatched Expertise
Matthew Bain’s passion for horology was sparked in 1985 while attending American University, inspired heavily by his father—one of the most prominent watch collectors in the United States. What began as a dedicated personal pursuit transformed into a thriving business, driven by a strict commitment to transparency, integrity, and absolute authenticity. From 1990 to 2006, Matthew cemented his reputation while operating a landmark storefront in Miami Beach before transitioning to an exclusive, appointment-based model to provide highly personalized curation.

Today, the leadership team is bolstered by Partner & Managing Director Morgan Cardet, who infuses a modern vision into the company. While Morgan’s deep knowledge of vintage design rivals the industry’s best, his acute predictive understanding of contemporary market trends and modern masterpieces ensures that Matthew Bain Inc. stays ahead of the rapidly evolving horological landscape.
