Within our jewellery sales, we have sections dedicated to 

  • Watches

Experience and knowledge allows us to give you expert and comprehensive advice when selling. Prior to the auction a professional, colour online catalogue is produced and publicised worldwide to ensure that your items reach the excellent prices they deserve.

Our consultants are available and eager to offer friendly and honest advice to any buyers with questions regarding items for sale, prior, during or post auction.
