Antique Watches

Antique watches refer to timepieces that are recognized for their historical significance, craftsmanship, and age, typically defined as being at least 100 years old. These watches often embody the artistry and engineering of their respective eras, showcasing unique designs, materials, and watchmaking techniques that are not commonly found in modern watches. Collectors and enthusiasts value antique watches not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their historical context and potential investment value. The classification of a watch as “antique” can apply to both pocket watches and wristwatches, and variations may exist based on brand, rarity, and condition. The market for antique watches can be quite specialized, with auction houses, dealers, and online platforms dedicated to the buying and selling of these coveted timepieces.
