About us

Founder Mrs Mary  Bakker (My late Mother) has worked as a watchmaker since 1997. Trained in Switzerland, she spent decades as the go-to watch supply specialist in New York before applying her knowledge of the mechanics and the market to her very own business.

The company was founded in Staten Island, New York by Mrs Mary Bakker (Mother) and now run by Ms Linda Bakker (daughter), the current Owner and Chief Executive of Linda Watches NYC today. The company operates as an independent contractor with clients  in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston ,Denver, Chicago, Las Vegas, Montreal, Toronto, London, Vancouver and Edmonton just to mention a few.

She combines this learning with experience in management consulting, startups, and concierge services to assist the Linda Watches NYC  team in striving toward its ambitious and innovative goals, and to assist our valued clients in locating the rare timepieces that will remain in their families for generations. An animal lover and tennis fan, you will find Linda spending her free time with her pets, playing matches with friends and attending local community programs.

As the Chief Executive Officer of a multi-million dollar watch design/sales company. Linda’s work never stops. But when you ask this busy, energetic woman how she describes herself, she doesn’t hesitate in saying, “I’m a Christian first.” “I strongly believe in honesty, dignity and integrity.” Linda said.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management (University of Aruba, Aruba).
