The Accessories
Heirloom pocket watches should be displayed proudly, stored securely, and carried safely for future generations. We offer leather straps, chains, bow protectors and lanyards to prevent them from being dropped, and many different styles of custom wooden pieces for storage and display.
The pricing is in two tiers - one for people who have sent watches in for work or are purchasing one from the Store page, and one for those who have not.
Customers receive 20% off and don't pay for shipping since the item returns with their watch, while non-customers pay full price and for shipping.

*The Pricing
Clients who have entrusted their family heirlooms to us for restoration or are purchasing a restored watch from the Store page get 20% off these accessories and don't pay for shipping except for the larger items, since most of the smaller ones can be shipped back along with their watch.
Why the discount?
We don't earn a living by selling these accessories for a few bucks; we restore antique pocket watches. The only reason someone would want any of these items is if you are buying one as a gift or you already own a watch. If you own one or more pocket watches but are sending them elsewhere to be worked on while wanting to buy the little stuff here, then that's insulting to us and disloyal to the other watchmaker. We want long-term customers, not a one-time purchase.
Past customers
Past or existing customers can always claim the discount if purchasing but must pay for shipping.
Consigned Watches
Sell, buy or trade your best vintage pocket watches exclusively with other collectors while preventing them from being parted out or melted down.
