Watches

Specialist knowledge
The market for good quality brand name watches is always strong but our experts keep on top of the sudden fluctuations of fashion that can make a difference. Dial colours, variations in case shapes, date and movement types: details like these can increase the value of your watch even more.

It's personal
Some people come to us to sell watches that they have inherited. Others are collectors, selling some watches in order to buy others. We are always delighted to hear the stories associated with previous owners, and our lavishly illustrated catalogues provide a lasting record.

Worldwide market
We promote our regular sales of Jewellery and Watches to a worldwide audience. Our experts really know the market and carefully consider how best to present each lot to advantage.

“Watches are more closely related to their previous owners than most antiques. When I’m able to tell someone where and when the watch was made or bought and so on, it fills in a bit of family history. Why that person had that watch and in what circumstances – suddenly it all makes sense."

“It’s good to know, to get a value, and if you decide to sell, we will get you the best price possible.”
