The item combines practical timekeeping with mid-century style, offering a wearable piece of mid-century heritage associated with the former Crown Jewellers of the United Kingdom.

FAQs

Garrard & Co served as the official Crown Jewellers of the United Kingdom for over 150 years, manufacturing luxury jewellery and fine timepieces throughout the mid-20th century. During the 1960s, Garrard produced classic dress watches featuring Swiss mechanical movements housed in high-quality steel and gold cases.

Gentlemens watches from this era typically featured stainless steel or solid gold cases paired with acrylic crystals and hand-stitched leather straps. Dials were often finished in silvered or cream enamel with printed or applied metal hour markers.

Authentic Garrard wristwatches feature crisp dial typography, period-correct movement stamps, and hallmarked case backs where applicable. Original presentation boxes often bear the printed crest and appointment details of the British Royal Warrant.

Vintage watches are often displayed within open presentation boxes on dressing tables, placed on leather valet trays, or stored inside glass-topped collector cabinets to highlight their craftsmanship as decorative accessories.

Mechanical timepieces require periodic servicing by a professional horologist every three to five years to clean and lubricate the movement. Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields and moisture, and avoid over-winding manual mechanisms.
