Tempus Rex was founded by Jesse Rodriguez, a dedicated watch collector and horology expert based in Fort Worth, Texas. With a deep focus on the North Texas luxury market, Jesse created Tempus Rex to solve the industry’s biggest challenges: trust, transparency, and technical innovation.

As the ‘Watch King’ of the local scene, Jesse bridges the gap between traditional collecting and next-gen technology. Under his leadership, Tempus Rex is pioneering the integration of Live AR Virtual Try-On and social commerce, ensuring that every handshake deal—whether in the Frost Tower or on our digital marketplace—is backed by security and authenticity.
