Auction houses such as Christies, Sotheby's, and Antiquorum serve as a marketplace, provide data on recent sales, and offer detailed descriptions to determine comparable values.

An abundance of reference material, museum exhibits, and private collections also provide information on antique clocks and their makers.

Factors used to determine value are:

Maker and date of manufacture
Complications of the movement
Style and material of the case and the case maker
Originality of all the components
Rarity and provenance
Present condition

Our rare clocks can provide enjoyment beyond the decorative aspects of a ornately designed case or the melodious strikes of the bell or even a very specialized musical movement.

Timely Investments - Fine Horology

Please contact us if you want higher resolution photos of any item or different views that are not currently on the site.

The horologic instruments on our site represent a collection of quality clocks and watches that were made in the 18th and 19th century in Switzerland, Germany, France and England.

These rare clocks, watches and other timepieces have provided a hedge against inflation and are sound alternative investments to stocks and other paper assets. Typically most will hold their present value or appreciate over time as well as provide an element of enjoyment to their owners.

After an inspection by a qualified clockmaker any necessary restoration work has been performed on each clock or watch. All movements are original to their cases and every effort has been made to provide an accurate description of condition.
