The Team

  • Paul Hoyt - President/Watch Expert
Paul has spent much of his life around watches as a member of his family’s watch business that was established in the 1970’s. He has been involved in the acquisition of over ten thousand watches of numerous brands, ages, and types, from simple time-telling watches to complicated masterpieces. A passion for business leadership led him to the corporate world, and prior to founding Connoisseur of Time, Paul held a sales executive position within a midsized, privately held training and consulting firm based in Atlanta where he ran the company’s sales and marketing organization. Since starting Connoisseur of Time in 2005, he has quickly established his company as a trusted, internationally recognized dealer of collectible vintage and luxury watches.
  • Brandi Hoyt - Director, Client Relations
Brandi has a mean watch addiction and loves anything with diamonds on it. Formerly an executive assistant, she has a wealth of experience in making sure that on-the-go individuals have the kind of peace of mind that comes from knowing that all of the details important to them are taken care of to their satisfaction. Brandi is the principal client liaison for Connoisseur of Time, offering the highest level of personalized service to customers.
  • Dr. James Miller - Primary Watchmaker
A second generation master watchmaker and watch and tool collector, James was already busy working at the bench in his father’s watch and jewelry store at the age of 13. By 16, he was performing the majority of the business’s watch repair work. He prides himself in his ability to employ traditional watchmaking methods and techniques, regularly hand-crafting new parts as needed. When not working at his prized “masterpiece” workbench made in 1887 (he has three other benches to work at as well), he enjoys making his own watchmaking tools. He holds an earned doctoral degree and has spent 43 years in the watchmaking field.
  • Grigoriy Yakubov - Watchmaker and Case Refinisher
Grigoriy is a Russian trained master watchmaker with 34 years of experience. An extremely well-rounded watchmaking expert, Grigoriy worked in eight watch production factories in his motherland, learning and performing a different, specialized watchmaking skill in each. Besides expert case refinishing, he now focuses on the servicing of timepieces by Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantin, Panerai and other luxury brands and in the repair of complicated watches.

Customer Testimonials

Many thanks, Brandi. I am impressed with your high level of professionalism. I look forward to also purchasing the men’s 1953 Rolex or Patek from you in the near future. I will keep my eye on your weekly emails as well. You have earned a customer for life. Appreciatively,

Paul and Brandi, I love the watch. I have set it and will see if everything runs well. I cannot be more pleased. I will have my son and a watchmaker look over the watch for me, but I feel strongly everyone will agree I made a great choice. Thank you both for your courtesy and patience with me on the purchase. Sincerely,

—Janice Simmons

Paul, You have already proven your ethics and knowledge, and I am sure I will learn more as we go along. The offer of returning [the IWC wristwatch] is further evidence of that, which I will accept and send the watch back today… Thank you, I will continue to shop with you in the future. I buy 50 or more watches a year, as a hobbyist, some to keep, and some to sell. I truly want a nice, antique watch, and I know you are the person that will have it. Thanks,

Dear Ms. Brandi, I came to Vienna today and have received the watch from my friend. I do not know how to express my feelings but I find the watch utterly "AWE INSPIRING", indeed the watch is in immaculate condition and perhaps even in a much better condition than it was described on the eBay website. I therefore wish to thank you from the heart for organizing such an honest deal. Meanwhile, I also thank you for the prompt delivery and the most professional way the watch has been packed. Furthermore, the crocodile band is exactly what I had in mind therefore, I congratulate your taste. BRAVO! CONNOISSEUR OF TIME, you couldn't have made a customer any happier. Cordially,

Hi Brandi, I got the watch today – it’s fantastic, exactly as you described. We are very happy with the watch as well as with your service and outstanding attention to detail. I am sure I will be back in the future (I collect watches, but this is the first Rolex – even though it’s not for me). I am sure my dad will be extremely happy with the watch. Hope you and yours have a great holiday weekend!

—Mike Brunton

Dear Sir, I am not given to hyperbole, but I must say in 8 years of buying on eBay the watch I bought is the finest quality purchase I have made to date. Thank you very much. It exceeds all expectations.

Daniel Hanrahan
Brandi, I have received the watch this afternoon. It is absolutely delightful. It has been a true pleasure dealing with your company. A truly professional company selling outstanding items. We will be dealing again. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
