Welcome and thanks for visiting my vintage watches, military timepieces and marine chronometers web site! Please be sure to add this site to your "bookmarks".

My background: I am an active member of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors (NAWCC) and the Society for Military Horologists. Some of my watches and bands appeared in movies such as Hart's War with Bruce Willis and Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks. We recently opened an office in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on the Singel canal and this is where I'll be doing quite a bit work from.

Quality: I strive to accurately grade all pieces and to describe any detracting features that would concern me as a collector. There is a five day "no questions asked" return privilege on all pieces. I only request that returns be as well packed and in the same condition as originally sent by me.

Visit my site regularly as I will try to have new items of interest on a consistent basis. If you'd like to receive advance notice of new products as well as horology newsletters, please email me and I'll add you to my mailing list.
