The Story Behind Timekeeper PH

I’m Norris, a software engineer by trade and a watch enthusiast at heart.

Timekeeper PH didn’t start as a business plan; it started as a personal solution to the real-world headaches I faced while navigating the watch hobby. Like many of you, I’ve spent countless hours scrolling through listings, negotiating trades, and worrying about the "what ifs."

• What is my collection actually worth right now?
• How much will this actually cost me after customs and taxes?
• Is this trade actually fair, or am I getting caught up in the excitement?

As a builder, my instinct is to solve problems with code. When I couldn't find the tools I needed, I built them myself.

What began as a few private scripts to help me calculate import costs and track my own collection quickly grew into something bigger. I realized that if I was struggling with these friction points—like tracking purchase dates or worrying about due diligence—the rest of the community was too.

I decided to open up my personal toolkit to the public, completely free of charge. From the Collection Manager to the Stolen Watch Registry, Trade Calculator, Listing Generator, every tool on this site was born from a specific pain point I experienced during my journey of collecting, sourcing, and selling.

Today, Timekeeper PH is more than just a marketplace; it is a labor of love and a contribution to the community that has given me so much.
