The Vintage Watch Company specialises in Rolex wristwatches from 1910-1970, with a collection that spans over 1,000 pieces.
Owner David Silver is a global authority on vintage Rolexes, and each timepiece is sensitively restored in-house at the company’s state-of-the-art workshop by a Rolex-trained watchmaker.
The company has particular expertise in Rolex sports watches, which date from 1950 onwards, and the history of each design is captivating. Look out for the first Submariner (later coined the James Bond) or the GMT Master, which was made for Pan Am’s transatlantic pilots.

Swiss watchmaker Bell & Ross draws inspiration from the history of aviation and the military specifications that accompany it.
The company, whose shareholders include Chanel, works with astronauts, pilots, bomb disposal experts and divers to analyse the demands of extreme events.
The result is a collection of high-performance timepieces that deliver on function as well as covetable form – collaborations with streetwear brands like A Bathing Ape keep it firmly at the top of the style agenda.
The Burlington Arcade boutique is designed in the style of a private flying club with a VIP area on the first floor and sells exclusive pieces.
