Highlights

The Story Keeps on Ticking...

With over a century of experience, TimeCenter continues to evolve, combining tradition with innovation to remain a leader in the watch industry.

2016 – Entering the Manufacturing World

After four years at the company’s helm, George Kougioumtzopoulos introduced two new brands to the Greek market, JCou and Le Dom. These brands rapidly gained recognition and are now among the fastest-growing fashion watch brands in Greece. Combining contemporary design with quality craftsmanship, they quickly established a strong presence in retail stores and online platforms.

Their success reinforced TimeCenter’s position not only as a distributor but also as a creator of trendsetting timepieces, paving the way for further expansion in both domestic and international markets.

Investing in high-quality advertising, the company has launched some of the best commercials in its category, featuring brand ambassadors and nationwide television campaigns that have further strengthened its brands visibility.

2012 – The Third Generation

In 2012, the company passed into the hands of George Kougioumtzopoulos, son of Polykarpos and grandson of the founder. With the rise of e-commerce, he embraced digital transformation, addressing evolving market needs with innovative strategies that led to significant growth.

Under his leadership, TimeCenter expanded its brand portfolio, strengthened its presence in both physical and online retail, and reinforced its reputation as a key player in the watch industry.

1965 – The New Generation

The key to TimeCenter’s enduring success lies in passion, respect, professionalism, and deep industry knowledge. George instilled these values in his son Polykarpos, who took over the company in 1965. Bringing fresh ideas and a dynamic approach, he secured new agreements with prestigious watch brands.

A pivotal move under Polykarpos' leadership was the transition from traditional watchmaking brands to modern ones, emphasizing both dependability and fashion design. This strategic shift attracted several major brands to TimeCenter’s portfolio over the following years, including Adidas, Nixon, Nautica, Timex, Timberland, and Police.

TimeCenter also expanded into retail, opening a store on Ermou Street in downtown Athens, reinforcing its reputation for exceptional customer service.

1910 – The Founder

In 1910, George Kougioumtzopoulos moved from Istanbul to Greece to continue his successful career in silverwork. Educated at the prestigious Phanar Greek Orthodox College (Great School of the Nation) and fluent in German, French, and English, he excelled in the art of carved and jewelry design. In Istanbul, he had established his own shop and goldsmith workshop, gaining recognition for his craftsmanship and dedication to customer satisfaction.

During turbulent times, George relocated from Constantinople to Athens, where he set up a goldsmith factory in Piraeus. His success was briefly interrupted by World War II, but his resilience led him to enter the watch industry, representing renowned brands such as Roamer, Olma, Doxa, and Certina. His professionalism and dedication laid the foundation for TimeCenter as a trusted name in the Greek market.
