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 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.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Avia was a prominent Swiss watchmaker established in the late nineteenth century, gaining widespread recognition during the mid-twentieth century for producing reliable mechanical timepieces, including the Olympic line.

Mid-century Swiss watches typically feature gold-plated or stainless steel cases, acrylic crystals, and mechanical movements fitted with synthetic jewel bearings to minimise friction.

Authentic examples feature period-correct dial typography, clear movement markings indicating jewel count, and standard Swiss Made markings at the base of the dial.

A mid-century gold-toned dress watch pairs appropriately with formal tailoring, business suits, or smart casual attire, particularly when matched with complementary leather accessories.

Mechanical timepieces require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years, alongside careful protection from moisture, strong magnetic fields, and physical shocks.
