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 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

A chronograph is a watch that combines a standard timekeeping display with a stopwatch function, gaining significant popularity during the mid-20th century for military, aviation, and scientific applications.

These timepieces typically feature stainless steel or gold-plated cases, acrylic crystals, leather straps, and intricate manual-wind mechanical movements containing dozens of precision gears.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the movement makers marks, serial numbers on the case back, natural ageing patinas on the dial, and the correct typography and scale of the subdials.

A vintage timepiece can be worn as a statement accessory with tailored attire or displayed on a specialist watch stand in a study alongside leather-bound books and brass objects.

Mechanical watches require regular servicing by a professional horologist, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding without over-tensioning the mainspring.
