A team you can trust

Alan Wood is the founder of Vintage Gold Watches and a lover of all things vintage and mechanical. Alan has been a private collector of vintage watches for over 35 years and a trusted vintage watch specialist advising collectors and investors for over 20 years.

We only work with the best in the business to ensure we can offer all our customers an outstanding service. Our team is made up of some of the most experienced and skilled craftsmen and vintage watch specialists in the UK.

For example, restoring a vintage watch requires the skills of a minimum of three craftsmen. Our vintage specialist watchmaker will restore the movement and coordinate the restoration. The case will be sent to our watch case-maker, who will review the structural integrity, attend to repairs and polish the case. Meanwhile, the dial is restored or refinished by our dial restorers, who have accomplished fabulous work and are widely regarded as the best in the UK.

The work we carry out is meticulous and of the highest standards possible. Due to our expert team, highly skilled restorers and fantastic customer reviews, we have developed a reputation for excellence, honesty and trustworthiness in everything we do.

Our focus is on buying, selling and restoring Swiss watches, primarily from the 1950s to the 1970s. This time period is considered by many to be the golden age of Swiss watchmaking, when technical excellence, design and craftsmanship combined to produce some of the finest and most celebrated timepieces ever.

Repairs and restoration – Our exceptional team of watchmakers, watch case restorers and watch dial restorers are considered the best in the industry.

Servicing – We are happy to service premium vintage watches, especially the brands we specialise in.

I have no hesitation in recommending.
From start to finish the service I have received has been excellent. Kirsty has kept me informed all the way and the level of the finished repair to a very old and worn vintage watch was exemplary.
