Private Buying and Selling Services for Antique Pocket Watches

Imagine that, in order to sell an antique pocket watch, you have decided to visit an auction house. You have already decided on where to take your item, though this was after a considerable amount of time and deliberation, as each individual venue charges separate fees and commission and some of these charges may be up to forty percent of your pieces’ overall worth. You have accepted that you will have to pay these costs, and know you will need to be patient as it may take months for your cheque to arrive in the post.

All Brands Valued

But what if you were to be introduced to a private buying and selling service which could offer you the true market value prices of any piece, immediate payment of one hundred percent of the earnings, and that could remove any hassles or worries on fees such as auction house commission, insurance or photography? 

These factors are made guarantees when you choose to request our services, and each assists in making us the best place to discover how much your pocket watch is worth, before you sell it for the most reasonable price you will find. We will always offer our customers one hundred percent of every estimate given, with immediate payment and no hidden fees. To ensure maximum security when you sell your antique pocket watch to us, we will even carry out the valuation in your own home.

We are happy to value pocket watches in any style (including open case, half and full hunter) from any maker, including:

• Cartier
• Rolex
• Jaeger-LeCoultre
• Smiths
• The American Waltham Watch Company
• Hamilton
• IWC

Professionally Valuing Your Finely Crafted Pocket Watches

For a number of pocket watch buyers and collectors, their chosen timepieces may represent an investment just as much as they provide an interesting pastime. Every individual item, from a standard open face gold or silver pocket watch to full hunter case styles crafted by Jean Pierre of Switzerland or Sekonda, will only continue to grow in value. Alongside this, each piece will come with its own specific market price.

This is why it is important to know how to identify the individual points which will determine the true value of your pocket watch. Our experts know how to identify these with a series of questions, and will consider each carefully when carrying out estimates on any pocket watches we are called to value. These questions are:

• Is the watch working? Is it in good working order?
• What is the overall condition of the piece?
• Who made the watch?
• How old is the model?
• How rare is this particular model or style?
• Are there any complications in the make? (i.e. are they designed with features beyond the simple display of hours, minutes or seconds?)

Every piece we examine will be valued based on these individual merits, but we will buy pocket watches regardless of their overall condition. However, it must be noted that while we buy all gold pocket watches, we only buy certain silver models and types. To learn more about this, please contact us today.
