Frequently Asked Questions

A: No. We only purchase watches by established luxury brands such as Rolex, Panerai, Cartier, Audemars Piguet, Hublot, Omega, Tag Heuer, IWC, Breitling, Jaeger-Le Coultre, and Patek Phillipe. We reserve the right to only make offers on watches that we are willing to stock; depending on history, age, condition, and brand.
Q: Do you do commission sales?
A: Yes. We typically work on a 10-15% commission rate, depending on the brand, model, condition, and age of the watch. Please contact us for further information on commission selling.
Q: Do you buy vintage watches?
A: Yes, as long as they are manufactured by one of our favoured brands and are in either working or repairable condition.
Q: Do you buy watches without their original box and paperwork?
A: Yes, however the missing elements will be reflected in the valuation, and the watch will undergo an extra thorough inspection.
Q: Is it safe to post the watch to you?

A: We will send the watch back to you as soon as possible via insured shipping.

What our customers say
I sold a JLC Reverso through Tempo & Time in early 2017. The sale process was seamless from start to finish (and they got me an excellent deal fairly quickly for what is ultimately quite a niche watch). Jonathan and Simon are knowledgeable, helpful, very responsive, and an absolute pleasure to deal with overall. I've dealt with many watch dealers over the years and Tempo & Time are one of the absolute best." - Geoffrey L, London
