All watches are original, when it comes to vintage every single one will be different from the other. Condition is the perfect balance between wear, patina and aging: these define the unique personality of a particular watch and determine its “magic”.
We only select mechanical or automatic watches, never battery operated.
Mechanical watches: For a 24 to 36 hours salute, wind once each day about 20 times. DO NOT over-wind – even such great vintage watch can break under too much pressure. Those watches are NOT waterproof so take heed during the rainy season.
