Dealers Notes

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.

Credit / debit card purchases up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

FAQs

Art Deco pocket watches emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by geometric patterns, stylised numerals, and a shift towards streamlined, modern aesthetics while retaining traditional mechanical movements.

These timepieces typically feature gold-plated or base metal cases, intricate mechanical brass movements with jewelled bearings, and glass or acrylic crystals protecting patterned dials.

Authentic pieces can be identified by hallmarks on the inner case, the specific typography of the dial numerals, the design of the movement calibre, and characteristic wear consistent with age.

A vintage pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated glass dome stand, within a shadow box frame, or styled atop a stack of books on a desk or mantelpiece.

To preserve mechanical watches, store them in a dry environment away from direct sunlight, avoid exposure to moisture, and have them professionally serviced every few years to maintain lubrication.
