Vintage classic watches can be defined as mechanical watches made prior to the 1970's quartz revolution. Vintage watches afford us the opportunity to wear or collect something truly rare and unique and yet at the same time, magically familiar. Vintage watches are for those who seek quality, craftsmanship and style as a reflection of a lost era, a lost art. For all these reasons, vintage watches are becoming more, and more popular today as people look to the past for something that they cannot buy new at the mega-mall or department store.

Vintage

Some are fortunate enough to have vintage watches handed down to them as family heirlooms from father to son or mother to daughter. Others seek them out for their vintage appearance and nostalgic charm. Some are drawn to their intricate mechanical workings that control complicated chronograph, calendar, alarm, moon-phase or tidal data. Some buy them as quality investments or for their fancy solid gold case design. Whether you are looking for a vintage solid gold dress watch or a vintage World War II military pilot's chronograph, chances are you will find it only at a vintage watch showroom.
