MORE THAN A WATCH

One place. Two ways to take care of your watch.

Whether you want to know how much your watch is worth or take better care of a mechanical or vintage timepiece, you can start with Dial-House.

01
WATCH VALUATION

Find out what your watch may be worth.

We analyse the watch and the current market to estimate its realistic market value. Choose an online valuation based on photographs or a more detailed assessment after physical inspection.

  • Estimated current market value
  • Factors that increase or reduce value
  • Comparison with the current watch market
  • Assessment of collector and investment potential after physical inspection
  • Advice on whether completing the set with a box, papers or accessories may be worthwhile
  • Guidance on what may increase the watch's attractiveness for future sale

Investment potential is assessed on the basis of the characteristics, rarity and market position of the particular watch. This is not investment advice or a guarantee of future price growth.

WATCH CARE

Take care of your watch today and for years to come.

We assess the condition of your watch and help with cleaning, preparation and further care. At the owner's request, polishing of the case or bracelet may also be carried out or coordinated after assessing whether such work is appropriate.

  • Initial assessment of the watch's condition
  • Cleaning and preparation of the watch
  • Case and/or bracelet polishing at the owner's request
  • Recommendations concerning further care
  • Optional watch valuation
  • Coordination of agreed watchmaking work

With vintage and collectible watches, we first consider whether polishing could affect originality or collector value.
