All our sales now take place using Internet bidding. Internet bidding is immensely popular with our customers, allowing people to bid from wherever they are when the lot they desire is under the hammer. One of our highest-priced watches went to a man taking a break from playing golf! 

We are delighted to accept telephone and commission bids, subject to terms and conditions.

Fees

Please be aware that there is a buyer’s premium. Please check the sale catalogue for the correct fees.
