At Vintage Time London, we appreciate and specialise in forgotten timepieces, giving them the platform they deserve. With a focus on pre-2000s mechanical watches, we’ve curated an eclectic collection of character-filled pieces from around the world that stand apart from mass-market fashion brands.

Our passion lies in rediscovering vintage, under appreciated watches, offering them at reasonable prices for those who appreciate true heritage, originality and individuality. Whether it’s a classic Swiss dress watch, a rugged Soviet-era tool watch, or a quirky Japanese chronograph, every piece we offer has a story to tell.

For those who seek uniqueness over hype, history over trends, and character over convention, Vintage Time London has you covered.

We also offer many services for watches of all ages including; battery replacement, strap replacement/ adjusting & much more. All work is carried out from our location in South East London.
