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

JW Benson was a prestigious British watchmaker holding royal warrants, known for producing high-quality pocket watches and chronometers during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

These timepieces typically feature sterling silver cases, enamel dials, hand-finished mechanical movements, and steel components assembled by skilled horologists.

Authentic pieces feature hallmark stamps on the interior cases, the makers signature on the dial and movement, and serial numbers that correspond to London assay office records.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated glass dome stand, within a desk vitrine, or integrated into a collectors cabinet vignette.

Keep the watch away from moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations, avoid over-winding, and have the mechanical movement professionally serviced periodically by a horologist.
