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

Limit was a British watch brand established in the early 20th century, known for importing Swiss movements into the UK market to provide reliable and accessible timepieces.

Pocket watches from this era were typically constructed from base metals with gold plating or rolled gold, featuring enamel dials, steel hands, and glass crystals.

Authentic pieces often feature hallmark stamps inside the case back, mechanical hand-wound movements, and specific typography characteristic of the period.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated desk stand, within a glass cloche, or stored inside a vintage valet tray as part of a study decor.

Preservation requires regular professional servicing of the mechanical movement, avoiding moisture exposure, and storing the watch in a dry environment away from direct sunlight.
