The Fine Clocks & Historical Timepieces Department is dedicated to the appraisal, selection, and promotion of antique clocks and timepieces, with particular focus on pieces that represent artisanal excellence and technical innovation from the 17th to the 20th century.
The department evaluates and curates mantel clocks, wall clocks, table clocks, historical wristwatches, tower clocks, and rare timepieces from private collections, estates, and foundations, selecting objects distinguished by mechanical refinement, aesthetic quality, condition, and documented provenance.
A key area of expertise lies in European and French clocks of the 18th and 19th centuries, while the department also handles historic Italian, English, Swiss, and Asian timepieces, paying close attention to both technical precision and the artistic value of mechanisms and decorative elements.
Our approach combines technical expertise with curatorial sensitivity, highlighting each timepiece not only as a functional object but as a historical and artistic testament, capable of narrating eras, styles, and innovations.
Our specialists provide confidential and complimentary valuations, supporting collectors through every stage of the process, from initial appraisal to selecting the most appropriate sales channel, whether at auction or through private sales, ensuring professional and personalized management of objects of great historical and cultural value.
“Man lives in time, within its flow, and preserves its eternity in his own feelings.
Antique horology unites art, mechanics, and precision, transforming time into a unique object—capable of measuring its rhythm while at the same time celebrating its mystery.
We will tell the story of precious timepieces that embody the craftsmanship of men who, across the ages, have lived with passion and ingenuity. Creations of timeless charm, in which every gear recounts stories of places long past, and where the finest materials have been skillfully shaped to offer mankind the pleasure of beauty.”
