Hello Watchfans!

Highlight of the Month

One of the better multi function watches available is the Breitling Aerospace, but this is the lesser seen Chronospace. It uses a steel case instead of titanium, and has more of Navitimer feel. We could easily have chosen the 1967 Le Cheminant Master Mariner Chronograph, or the IWC Fliegerchronograph. Not for you? Then browse all our latest stock to see what is new in old watches. Don't forget we can take part exchanges too.

Watch news

A report this month claims that the pre owned watch industry is expected to rise from the current $11Bn per year turnover to an estimated $30Bn by 2025. But we read this with a large pinch of salt - the writers of the report have an interest in the sector, and with some companies raising funds (C24 raised €100m earlier this year) and others being sold or looking to go public - including the report writers. No doubt some big companies will become even more interested in the bottom line than the horology or history. We'll keep it real here.

Wearing vintage watches is effective recycling in the best possible sense. Plus not having retail premises to heat, light and travel to does make BYW's as close to carbon neutral as possible. But we want to go further.

We are researching firms to work with where we will plant a tree for every watch sold, and want to extend that to offering to plant a tree on behalf of customers too if they choose to do so. We want to be carbon positive, not because we think we will sell more watches, but just because we want to do our part.

Coming soon...

A nice mix of interesting and premium watches coming. At least three really good Eterna-Matics, including a 1956 Centenaire as well as the 1974 version pictured. Omega's include three different generation of Constellations. More modern watches are a Hamilton Regulator, and Zodiac Super Sea Wolf as well as a cheap Duxot GMT. On the older side some interesting Smiths spin off watches. And the Overseas pictured is one of two Vacheron Constantin, while we also have a pair of Universal Geneve. Plus what ever we are lucky enough to find.
