Watch & Wares

Specialties

At Watch and Wares we specialize in restored vintage watches, including Omega, Longines, Rolex and other quality antique and pre-​owned mechanical wristwatches.

All of our vintage watches are sold in good working order. Most have been serviced by our master watchmaker, or in some cases were recently serviced elsewhere and have passed our master watchmaker’s inspection.

Watch and Wares buys and sells unique antique and estate jewelry from the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Mid-​Century Retro Moderne, and contemporary periods. If you are looking for something special, whether it be heirloom quality art deco filigree engagement rings or antique wedding ring, you have come to the right place!

Meet the Business Owner

William H.

Business Owner

Passion is often passed from generation to generation, and such is the case for William. As a boy, his grandfather would show William his antique pocket watch, with the tiny gears rotating, winding the spring, and enthralling William with the exquisite craftsmanship of a bygone era. This passion for beautifully made things has been with William his entire life, and as a result he has gained a virtual encyclopedic knowledge of not only watches, but jewelry from all time periods. William opened a tiny shop in the Orange circle back in 1991, and his passion for his work and dedication to his customers has yielded him a status as a permanent fixture in the area. Whether you would like to sell a timepiece or jewelry item, or just simply need some information, William is always happy to help and educate.
