Welcome to Martin Kaye's Classic Watch Company

Welcome to my recently formed Classic Watch Website - You may already be familiar with my name.
Having been a pioneer in the second-hand and collectors watch industry since 1970, most people in the watch business and members of the public have been familiar with me dealing primarily in modern and second hand Rolex and Cartier watches. I have always been interested and collected vintage and classical watches dating from 1920s onwards. I welcome you to view and offer for sale some of the watches that I have accrued over the years. With many dealers worldwide consulting me regarding both vintage and rare watches, I firmly believe that nobody else will offer you the same expertise and service that I am able to give you.

Over the last few years more and more people have approached me asking my opinion as to whether certain watches are more likely to increase in value over others. My response is that firstly huge world demand has steadily overtaken supply of particular timepieces which were never mass produced in their day and secondly owning and wearing one of the top brands (mentioned below) of vintage timepieces holds an allure and prestige that a modern watch will never have.

Global interest for fine classical watches has never been greater especially with rare and vintage Rolex, Patek Philippe and Omega examples reaching world record prices at auction. The following watches which I hope you will find both interesting and desirable have been sourced by me over many years from private individuals in most major cities around the world by my advertising campaigns. None of these watches have been offered on the open market before or been acquired from watch dealers.

It is worth mentioning that I do not purchase my watches from auction houses as invariably they are often put in by dealers and the same watches appear from sale room to sale room on a regular basis. My aim is to offer you as a potential client, watches that are fresh on the market at prices that are both competitive and investable in.

If you do not see a watch on my website that is of interest to you I am always acquiring new stock. Please contact me with enquiries you have regarding any special model you desire and I will endeavour to find it for you.

Many of our collectors watches come with their original boxes and some with original guarantees. Before we send our watches out we put them through a 48 hour testing period for time keeping and where applicable, waterproofing.
