About us
We have been selling watches in Szeged since 1989. We started out in a tiny shop of just three square meters. Today we have four stores, our own watch service and a webshop that delivers all over Hungary, for anyone looking for a watch, from a first wristwatch to premium Swiss pieces.
We are an authorized dealer for every brand we offer. We only sell genuine watches from official distribution, with a Hungarian warranty, and you are helped by sales staff who really know their watches.

Our story
The story of Időzóna began in 1989 in the arcade of the Nagyáruház department store in Szeged. The first shop measured just three square meters. There was barely room for a counter, a few display cases and the conviction that a good watch is more than an everyday object.
A year later, a two-story specialist watch store opened on Tisza Lajos Boulevard. It also became home to our first in-house service and the company headquarters, and this store next to the Anna-kút well still welcomes customers at the same address today. An elegant watch salon followed on Kárász Street in 1993, a store in the Rókusi Tesco in 1998 and another in Szeged Plaza in 2000. By the turn of the millennium, almost everyone in Szeged knew that if you were looking for a watch, Időzóna was the place to go. Our slogan, “More than a watch!”, stayed with the company for more than twenty years.
In the Árkád shopping center, we first opened a 60-square-meter salon on level -1. Then, in May 2015, we went “one level up”: the 200-square-meter Időzóna watch salon opened on level 0. At the time it was the largest watch store in Hungary by floor area, carrying more than 30 international brands. The lower store did not close, and it is where our service operates today.
In summer 2025, our salon on level 0 of Árkád was renovated. Today our webshop delivers anywhere in Hungary and is also available in other languages under the name TimeZone Center. One thing has not changed since 1989: we help you choose an everyday Casio with the same care as a premium Swiss watch.
“A man has two jewels: one is his love, the other is his watch.”
