Vintage gold and steel IWC Yacht Club watch made in 1971
The IWC Yacht Club is such an iconic watch with an incredible movement that is still so highly regarded today, and this vintage IWC Yacht Club is just perfect for any occasion.
IWC Yacht Club was launched in 1967 and was powered inside by the famous and highly regarded IWC calibre 8541B. This movement was designed by Albert Pellaton who was the technical director of IWC, and features an ingenious system that included the ability for the automatic rotor to wind the watch regardless of which direction the rotor was turning. Fitted with a micro-regulator to guarantee accuracy and this among various other features make this one of the most accurate and well regarded watch movements in any watch back then and even today more than 40 years later. This movement is regarded as one of the best movements ever produced not only by IWC but any watchmaking company in the world.
With the case made in solid 14ct yellow gold with a stainless steel back, the tonneau shaped case measures 36mm across plus the IWC crown and sits so well on the wrist.
The dial has the transitional dial from the iconic “International Watch Company Schaffhausen” written in its Italic style font combined with the upper case “IWC” and has the date window and centre sweep seconds. The IWC Yacht Club is still regarded as one of their finest watches ever made, thanks in part to its iconic case design and superb movement, making it as stylish today as when it was first launched 50 years ago.

Vintage Jaeger LeCoultre back wind watch with a diamond set hinge cover
Here is a truly magnificent vintage watch by the esteemed watchmaking company Jaeger Le Coultre that is just as much as piece of high jewellery as it is a watch. Made in 18 carat yellow gold in 1962, the design of the gold bracelet not only looks and feels so smooth and elegant on the skin, but wraps itself perfectly around the wrist and has such a magnificent tactile feel to it. The way the gold captures the light is highlighted by the seventeen round brilliant cut diamonds that are set into the hinge cover over the watch dial. These diamonds total 0.25 carats, and even the design that they are set into adds even more charm and character to an already very impressive watch. With the dial displaying a combination of numbers as well as index markers, turning the watch over reveals just why Jaeger LeCoultre are regarded as one of the finest watchmaking companies in the world. This is a back wind watch, meaning that it is manually wound and set via the crown on the back allowing for a very clean look from the front. Being back wind allows for the crown to not interfere with the design of the watch without any interference to the style. Measuring 18.2cm in length by 2.2cm wide, this is a remarkable watch that is stunning from all aspects and angles. Stock# ES9111cc Maker: Jaeger LeCoultre Circa: 1962 $15,800

Rare 18 carat gold antique bezel wind pendant watch made in the 1870’s
Here is a very rare bezel wind antique ball pendant watch that is truly amazing from inside and out. Made in the 1870's this pendant watch separates itself from other ball pendant watches for three very special reasons. Firstly it is made in 18 carat gold, while many of these pendant watches were made in silver. However the second and most important difference and feature of this one over so many others, is the absence of a crown to wind it. To wind the movement, one simply rotates it at the centre. This is such a clever and ingenious design of this pendant watch that showcases the quality of the piece even further. To set the time, there is a discreet pin which is on the side, which once pressed and combined with turning the centre of the watch, this will engage and turn the hands to the desired time. With the Swiss made movement having just come back from a full service, it runs well and comes with our twelve month warranty. And finally the third important feature of this, is that this very piece is featured on page 131 of “How the watch was worn: A fashion for 500 years” by Genevieve Cummins making this an even more exciting piece of history that is actually featured in her fantastic book. Measuring 23.8mm across by 31.5mm or 35mm to the top of the bail, this is as exciting as it is extraordinary. Stock# ES9362 Circa: 1870 $6,600

Rare 1921 hermetic 14 carat gold Eberhard & Co Calotte Patrouille watch
Here is a very rare and very beautiful original antique Eberhard & Co Calotte Patrouille watch that was made in 1921 with the incredible hard to find black dial. While this watch has been re-issued by Eberhard & Co, this is the original version, which like all originals, is still the best. Made in 1921, the case is a hermetic case, meaning that it is completely airtight to protect the inner workings from dust, humidity and water. While we would not recommend a vintage watch to be worn in the water, this was a technological leap in watchmaking 100 years ago. The case is made from 14 carat rose gold, and finding an original Eberhard & Co Calotte Patrouille in gold alone is so hard to come by. The colour of the case has the most wonderful warm rose colour to it that adds to the black dial. With the case measuring 28mm across, this is a small watch however the interesting fact about this watch, is that when it was made it was actually a gents watch as Eberhard & Co did not make their first ladies watch until 1947. We have presented this watch on a new 8mm wide band, however this can easily be put onto a military style band that is much wider. Not only is the case an incredibly exciting and rare case design along with a beautiful colour of gold, but the dial as well is just as spectacular. The black dial is all original and is designed with gold coloured numerals and sub-seconds. The black and rose gold is a winning combination that makes this watch all the more elegant and stylish. Inside is a 16 jewelled manual wind Eberhard & Co Calotte movement that has just come back from an extensive service, runs beautifully and comes with our twelve month warranty. Both on and off the wrist, this is such an incredibly beautiful watch that will always be such a wonderful conversation starter.

Vintage 14 carat gold Tissot Navigator world time watch made in 1953
Here is a very rare and totally original Tissot Navigator world time watch that was made in 1953 in a solid 14 carat gold case and looks as good today as when it was made all those years ago. This innovative watch here is from the first generation Tissot Navigators and was launched in 1951 and produced through 1953, a year before the Rolex GMT and quickly became famous for its incredible world time as well as ease to set and read multiple time zones around the world. Make no mistake, this is a very rare and highly collectable original Tissot Navigator and not a later version including the Tissot Navigator Anniversary re-issue model - this is the original and still the best. The central city disk (one location per time zone) rotates once every 24 hours and is read against a fixed 24-hour dial to indicate the time in each zone. The push button uncouples the city disk to allow local time to be set without disturbing world time. Local time (12 hours) is indicated on the bezel with the minute track placed at the farthest edge of the dial. This particular dial combines Bombay and Calcutta into India Standard Time, and replaces London with Greenwich. The dial is all original and has not been repainted or retouched in any way. It has achieved a perfect patina and looks incredible on the wrist. The solid 14 carat gold case is exactly that, solid gold. This is not to be confused with the later gold plated cases or a stainless steel version, and measuring 35mm across plus the crown, it sits so well on the wrist and thanks to the dial actually appears much larger on the wrist than one might imagine. Powered by the lovely 17 jewelled bumper automatic Tissot calibre 28-5N that has just come back from a complete service and overhaul, runs beautifully and comes complete with our twelve month warranty. Certain watches are collectable, and certain watches are rare, and this one is both and is truly one of the finest examples around and one that is not to be missed.

Rare antique diamond and enamel ring watch made in the 1870’s
Every once in a while you come across something that is not only so exquisitely beautiful from every angle that you look at it, but unlike anything else out there. Not only is this antique ring watch so exceedingly rare, but it is incredibly beautiful and it was so well made to such an incredibly high standard and is a true testament to the quality of the jewellers and watchmaker that made this over 150 years ago, that it is not only in superb condition but still running today. Made in 18 carat yellow gold in the 1870's, the white enamel dial is all original and in pristine condition. As clean today as when it was made, it was made with black numbers except for the 12 which is in red. With its original hands, the dial is surrounded by twenty eight rose cut diamonds, and the border of diamonds measures 15mm in diameter. With the dial set into the gorgeous lozenge shape top which itself measures 16.6mm across by 25.2mm, the top has been beautifully enamelled in a rich cobalt blue colour that has long been associated with royalty. Even the enamel is in superb condition and each end is set with a further three rose cut diamonds. The diamonds plus the ones around the dial come together to total 0.19 carats and add a delightful amount of sparkle to the ring. Even the side of the top section is so exquisite to admire with the intricate and fine hand engraving, as is the remarkable band that it is sitting on with the split designed shoulders with more hand engraving running down. And looking under the top section, there is a very discreet plate that can be slid open revealing two key holes. The one in the centre will set the time and the other will wind the cylinder escapement movement that has been painstakingly restored over several months and is now in full working order. From every single angle that you look at this ring watch it will take your breath away and once gone, it is unlikely that you will ever see another let alone one a stunningly beautiful as this.
