Investor's Corner

Investors in tall-case or long-case clocks favour pieces by such 17th Century British makers as Daniel Quare, Thomas Tompion, Joseph Knibb, Edward East and Henry Jones.

“Collectors of fine furniture will buy the finest clocks as both furnishing and horological pieces. The market for golden- era long-case clocks has never been stronger.” 

- Jonathan Hills, Sotheby’s, London

 

It is generally acknowledged that the main determinants of the value of long-case clocks are the movement, the case, the country of origin and the relative scarcity.

 

 

 

Vintage pocket watch

 

Although there has historically been a demand for vintage watches that exceeds supply, causing substantial increases in value, there is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. Demand for vintage watches of a particular type may be affected by regional or world trends and tastes.
