IWC's history is marked with technically advanced movements, especially creating watches for pilots and divers.
The Times Newspaper July 2005
Ten years ago Frank Lord and I started a business dealing in the most exclusive watches. Today, Royal Arcade Watches is one of London's top specialist watch dealers, buying and selling vintage and collectable wristwatches of the very highest quality.
Our standards are uncompromising—to attract our attention a watch must be both in demand (making it a sound investment) and in mint condition, with its original dial, hands, box and papers. In short we are purists, with a passion for exquisitely crafted timepieces that are as unique as they are beautiful.
As well as being dealers, we are also aficionados. I inherited my love of fine wristwatches from my father, a watch collector and connoisseur. Visiting auctions and dealers with him gave me a real appreciation of a watch’s quality and value. Being a collector, means I understand what our customers want.
Our team has a wide range of strengths, with experience in all facets of horology, and between us we can guide our customers to watches that they really love.
Consequently, our reputation is built on integrity, trust and understanding. That's why many customers come back to us to us again and again. Because we specialise in brands that hold their value particularly well, our watches also make a highly efffective investment, an asset you can enjoy today and, should you choose to, realise in the future.
Many thanks
