House of the Movement
Lovenhall Watch
The house's room for timepieces — its instrument, the free calculators that sit beside it, and the notes behind both.
Free on iPhone & iPad. The tools below are free to use here, in the browser.

Watch Identifier
Recognises a watch and estimates what its kind fetches — a quick read for a collector, a buyer, or anyone about to sell something they inherited.

You photograph it
One photograph. Nothing to fill in, nothing to send away.

The reading happens there and then, on the phone.

Nº V · Field Notes
On the reading of watches
- Demand for the specific reference drives the figure; two watches from one maker and one year can trade four times apart.
- Condition is read as originality first — a polished case and a service dial cost more value than honest wear does.
- Box, papers and a service history routinely account for ten to twenty percent of a modern luxury watch.

A watch the instrument could not place, a reference you cannot trace, or a question the field notes do not answer — the house is glad to hear it.
