My first encounter with Cosmo King was one on my dad's wrist during the early 1980's. It was a stainless steel day-date cosmo king with 25 jewels and a black dial. It was quite heavy and well constructed. Seeing the sweep smooth second hand passing by and by and hearing the tic-tac sound of the movement made my heart pounding with joy. I remembered my old man told me Titoni watch is of high quality and will last for ages. One of my regret in life is I never know what happened to that particular titoni. My dad bought a Rolex Oyster 1601 in 1986 with the sum of RM2,000.00. That Rolex was passed on to me on 2003.
My Collection of Titoni Cosmo King
In this blog I will share with you my private collection of Titoni watches. It takes great amount of time, fund, and effort to restore these wathes. Therefore, all watches are not for sale. I am sorry if my watches seduce you in anyway.
My oldest Cosmo King
I suspect this is one of the oldest Titoni Cosmo King around. I guess it was produced during the 1950's or 1960's. This is a genuine piece that I bought from Singapore.... Everything is functioning well and the watch is keeping good time. The dial showed sign of aging and may need refurbish.... the difficult part is the disc for the day and date... some numbers and words are worn off... still trying to look for spare....
Rarest Cosmo King?
A friend of mine bought this from an antique shop in Hong Kong. When I first saw it, I am relatively doubtful. I never saw a Titoni Cosmo King with this kind of casing. The movement, the dial, the back case, the crown all very minty and original.... I will try to find out whether the stainless steel case is truly titoni cosmo king......
My ordinary Titoni
Nothing special but yet every single one is special and of sentimental values........

Cosmo King 14K RIM
This batch of cosmo king came with 14K gold or white gold rim. They are particularly rare. To find one in extremely good conditions is a challenge that I enjoyed. Even in pretty broken conditions, I love the task of resurcitating them. The original spares are running out with time... I would suggest established watch company to continue produce spare for at least 50 years after the production of a certain model ceased. Although the cost will be tremendous but the intimate relationship between the watch maker and the customers will be priceless...

ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteDo u ever seen 14k rim that don't have Cosmo King on dial? ( it just has " Titony automatic" on dial.)
ReplyDeleteIf you can show me a shot of the dial..... I have not seen one before. I suspect it may be a badly repainted dial, but I can't be certain unless inspect the dial closely. Thanks for bringing up the topic and I will research into this matter......
DeleteAmazing collection!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteDo u know the price range for 737-360 silver textile watch ? I happen to find one from my grandma collection, and she told me its my grandpa fav watch he worn in evening going out
ReplyDeleteyou are looking about USD 150-250 depending pretty much on the condition of the watch itself.
DeleteIf it is from your Grandfather, then it is priceless......
anyone got a titoni original bracelet(GOLD)
ReplyDeleteNo doubt a lot of fake Titoni around..... But the red logo or plain logo showed here are all genuine articles. Titoni of late 1980's and 1990's have the red logo.....
ReplyDeleteHi, do you have any idea where to get spare parts for TITONI,like the bezel?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIf for older models, you can try asking in watch repair shops or ebay; most of the time you need to salvage from donor watches..... the genuine spares are getting less and less with time.......
ReplyDeleteHow do I know whetherthe model is 14k gold or not?
ReplyDeleteAt the case back it usually stated 14K RIM. If you buy it second hands from pawn shops or ebay or even watch shop, you need to know how a 14K yellow and white gold Rim look like.
DeleteI to one have CosmoKing 737 360 with pristine condition, would you mind telling me what would it cost today "2019" ?
ReplyDeletei have Titoni switzerland cosmo king sapphire crystal ATM10 made in switzerland..how much price i can selling??
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me if genuine Titoni's have "TITONI ROTOMATIC" engraved on the watch movement? Or are those fakes? Does any of your watch movements have the "TITONI ROTOMATIC" engraved on them? I am looking at purchasing one, but want to make sure it is not a fake. Any info you could give me would be so appreciated. Thank you! :)

ReplyDeleteHi, I have a Titoni Cosmo King that is rather similar to yours. Well, maybe not as old or rare as yours, but it is a cherished memento left behind by my late father. The watch still keeps decent time, but I have difficulty adjusting the day and date on it. The crown appears to have only two positions (non-hacking), which are either” in” or “out.” When the crown is pulled out, ALL the hands, day, and date adjust simultaneously. This means that I have to wind the crown repeatedly to advance the hour hand until the correct date displays, then wind the crown in the opposite direction to display the correct day. I'm wondering if this is normal, or is the watch’s adjustment mechanism broken? I’d appreciate any input you may have.
ReplyDeleteI have a beautiful champagne dial Titoni Cosmo King 777, non-hacking but with quick day and date adjustment. I really appreciate the fact that this Cosmo King line of watches has a great variance in both external looks and functions. I also greatly admire Titoni Watch Company as a watch company which has never produced a quartz model, even during the 1970's quartz crisis. All their watches have been mechanicals. Even Rolex produced quartz watches during that period of time.
ReplyDeleteI have a 737-360 G in need of a crystal replacement do you have any suggestions
