About Us
|
|
|
| |
I have been involved in antiquarian horology for more than thirty-five years, first as an illustrator and subsequently also as a writer, dealer and consultant to various private collectors and museums worldwide. During this time it has been my privilege to get to know a range of talented and trustworthy individuals who share the same passion. It is with their help that I shall continue to offer a range of the best and most interesting watches and watch related material.

NB. Please bear in mind that it is always possible to purchase a good watch from a bad dealer. My aim, however, is never to sell a bad watch and all items are guaranteed to be as described. |
