A vintage watch is not a purchase but a handover. We seek out the rare examples, understand their past and pass them on in top condition. Ready for a new chapter on your wrist.

Every movement tells what it has endured.

Before a watch leaves our house it is opened, assessed and, where needed, serviced by our watchmaker. The verification and service report travels with the piece.

  1. Sourced

    Only pieces with clear provenance and an honest condition.

  2. Opened & assessed

    Case off, movement under the loupe, seals and gaskets checked.

  3. Serviced & regulated

    Cleaned, oiled and regulated where the movement asks for it.

  4. Verified & handed over

    Rate and function tested, report enclosed, insured to your door.
