Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Chronographs from the 1930s typically feature a bi-compax dial layout with two sub-dials for measuring elapsed minutes and running seconds. They often incorporate telemetre or tachymeter scales on the dial perimeter and rely on manual-wind mechanical movements housed in steel or plated cases.

Wristwatches of this era were primarily constructed using stainless steel or chrome-plated brass for the cases, acrylic or mineral glass for the crystals, and brass movement plates. Straps were predominantly made from natural calfskin, pigskin, or canvas.

Authenticity is verified by checking for period-correct movement callouts, matching signatures on the dial and inner case back, correct font alignment on the registers, and appropriate mechanical wear consistent with age.

In modern interiors, collectable timepieces are commonly presented on dressing tables, desks, or within gentlemans dressing rooms using leather valet trays, glass-topped watch display boxes, or mounted stand displays.

Mechanical timepieces require movement servicing by a professional horologist every three to five years. They must be kept away from water, extreme temperature fluctuations, and strong magnetic fields to prevent damage to the hairspring.
