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.

FAQs

Trench watches originated during the First World War when soldiers required a practical alternative to pocket watches for coordinated manoeuvres in the field.

These timepieces typically featured sterling silver or nickel cases, enamel dials, mineral glass crystals, and durable leather straps designed to withstand harsh conditions.

Authenticity is verified through hallmark stamps on the inner case, period-correct movement mechanics, fixed wire lugs, and enamel dial characteristics typical of early twentieth-century manufacturing.

Displaying the item within a glass-topped table cabinet or on a dedicated desk stand allows it to function as a focal point of historical interest.

Keep the mechanism away from moisture and magnetic fields, avoid submerging vintage leather in water, and have the movement serviced regularly by a specialist horologist.
