About us

BESHA – those strange sounding five letters are indeed the abbreveation from the name of Bedros Shakaryan - our father and founder, a lifelong mentor and ambassador of the Swiss watchmaking expertise.

His ambition and dedication to the watchmaking profession were recognized by Rolex and the iconic brand chose his workshop as the only official Rolex service center in Bulgaria.Our father’s passion for watchmaking was handed down to the younger generation.

First Ashod Shakaryan and later Ani Shakaryan became part of the family company. Together with our team we devote our time to make customers feel exceptionally in the only possible way we know – The Rolex way.
