About EST 1935, A Legacy of Time, Craft & Family

At EST 1935, a watch isn’t just a way to tell time, it’s a reflection of identity, heritage, and craftsmanship. Nestled in the heart of Malta, our boutique blends old-world tradition with modern horology, delivering curated timepieces for those who value meaning as much as precision.

Our story begins in 1935, when Alfred Agius founded A. Agius Watch Dealers in Valletta. With his deep love for quality watches and a dedication to honest service, Alfred became a trusted name in Maltese horology.

Today, his legacy is proudly continued by his nephew and parents, who operate EST 1935 with the same passion, values, and focus on detail. Together, we’re preserving Malta’s watch culture while embracing innovation through premium microbrands and timeless vintage pieces.

Why Choose EST 1935?
