STATEMENT OF CONDITION

Antiquorum provides descriptions of watches and clocks and their condition in this catalogue as a service to prospective buyers.

Any such description or condition are statements of opinion for general guidance and should not be treated as statements of fact. All lots are sold “AS IS” at the moment of “knockdown” and cannot be returned on the grounds that repairs have been made or parts supplied by anyone than the named makers.

All watches and clocks shall be viewed personally to evaluate their condition prior to the auction.

Although we endeavor to mention in our descriptions significant defects, needed repairs, absent stones and the like, we do not guarantee that the descriptions are comprehensive.

Please note that descriptions may not specify all mechanical defects, replacement of original parts, or authenticity of individual component parts (such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets, buckles, deployant clasps and leather bands since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted without Antiquorum’s knowledge.)

Furthermore, we make no judgments as to whether diamond dials or diamond bezels originated at the factory or are later additions.

We do not guarantee the accuracy or operation of any watch function such as timekeeping, chronograph, calendar, repeat or register.

Buyers are advised that boxes, certificates or any

other accessories are not available unless stated otherwise. The dimensions given in the catalogue descriptions are overall tip-to-tip and most often include the lugs.

Buyers of water-resistant and waterproof watches are strongly encouraged to have such watches inspected by a competent watchmaker of their choice upon purchase since these watches have been opened by the Antiquorum watch experts during cataloging. Watches and Jewelry may not be taken apart whilst on view without consent of Antiquorum’s watch experts.

Antiquorum will accept requests for condition reports with additional photographs via email at hk@antiquorum.swiss.

To best accommodate any requests, please submit all inquiries no later than two days prior to the sale date. Kindly limit the number of requests to the lots of serious interest.

Antiquorum shall have no responsibility for any error or omission in the condition reports and may not specify all mechanical replacements, imperfections, repairs, restorations or the effects of aging in the movement, case or dial.
