Authentication and servicing

We authenticate every watch in house before listing it, so the grade above is ours rather than a consignor’s summary. However, condition language shifts from seller to seller, so we describe wear in plain words as well. Because a rested movement stiffens, wind it gently rather than forcing the crown. In addition, the warranty we give sets out the process.

Delivery, duty and the landed cost

We ship worldwide and insure every parcel, at no cost to you. However, import charges depend on where you live, so budget for them early. In short, the landed cost matters as much as the ticket price, and we set out the arithmetic in VAT, duty and the true landed cost. Meanwhile our Instagram is where pieces appear first, and Facebook mirrors it.
