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.

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

Smiths was a prominent British manufacturing company known for producing reliable mechanical timepieces, clocks, and automotive gauges throughout the 20th century.

These watches typically feature nickel-chromium or silver-plated cases, glass crystals, and intricate brass mechanical movements driven by a mainspring.

Authentic pieces usually feature the Smiths signature on the white enamel dial, hallmarks on the inner case, and Made in England lettering near the bottom.

Display the watch inside a glass dome cloche or on a dedicated pocket watch stand on a mantelpiece or desk as a nod to traditional horology.

Keep the watch away from moisture and extreme magnetic fields, wind it gently at consistent times, and have it professionally serviced every few years to maintain the movement.
