In todays modern, technology driven society where all individuals seem reliant on smart watches equipped with dozens of applications that monitor your movement, heart rate and other similar metrics it is something of a comfort to realise that there is still a place for the relative simplicity of an old fashioned wristwatch whose role is to simply give an accurate reading of the time whilst adding a certain panache and elegance to the wearer.
The juxtaposition between mass produced modern watches and the individually crafted watches from yesteryear is tangible and for afficionados, old and vintage watches represent a time with the skill of a craftsman was paramount, and simple, clean looks signified quality and excellence. Today, there is still significant interest in antique and vintage watches and if you should have an interest in acquiring such a watch, Master Watchmaking proudly presents a collection of both fob and wristwatches that may fulfil your needs.
Each of the antique and vintage watches that are presented for sale will be covered by a personal one year guarantee; watches are painstakingly restored bringing them back to their original glory at the hands of Karl, the driving force behind Master Watchmaking.

There may be a certain level of irony in the fact that some of the earliest wrist watches to be produced in large numbers were done so for the military, initially by the 19th century German Navy and then a few years later by combatants in WW1, but today antique watches and vintage watches are regarded by many as iconic objects that define precise craftsmanship combined with elegance and sophistication.
In a broad generalisation, antique watches are those considered to be over 100 years old and vintage watches, those that are in excess of 30 years old although there are views that include newer watches as vintage, but whichever your point of view, vintage watches are as much in demand now as they have ever been by collectors who simply appreciate the intrinsic value of a rare, beautifully made time piece and investors who may be less emotionally connected but realise the opportunities associated with highly desirable watches created by many notable watch makers across the globe.
