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

Smiths was a prominent British manufacturer renowned for producing high quality mechanical timepieces, with the Imperial line representing their finer jewelled movements during the mid-20th century.

Timepieces from this era frequently featured 9-carat gold cases, acrylic crystals, and genuine leather straps paired with mechanical hand-wound or automatic movements.

Authentication involves examining the hallmarking on the gold case, checking the movement for proper signed branding such as Made in England, and verifying the jewelled count on the dial.

A classic dress watch pairs seamlessly with tailored formal wear, adding a touch of understated sophistication to contemporary suiting or smart casual ensembles.

Mechanical watches require regular servicing by a professional horologist every few years, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding to preserve the internal components.
