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 wristwatches from the 1930s are characterised by geometric case shapes, stylised numerals, and clean, streamlined designs that reflected the modernist aesthetics of the era.

Gold-filled watches utilise a base metal, typically brass or copper, mechanically bonded to a layer of solid gold on the exterior, offering the appearance and durability of solid gold at a different price point.

Authentic pieces feature serial numbers on the movement and case that can be cross-referenced with production ledgers, along with specific hallmark stamps indicating the gold-fill content and manufacturer signatures on the dial and movement.

A vintage timepiece can be paired with contemporary tailoring or minimalist jewellery to create a subtle contrast, highlighting its historical craftsmanship as a focal accessory.

Mechanical watches require regular professional servicing every three to five years, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding to maintain the internal mechanism.
