Lovenhall Watch

The most copied watch on earth, and the one where four seconds of looking at the seconds hand settles most cases.

Where the movement is the evidence, and the maison actually publishes an extract from its archives.

A jeweller before a watchmaker, so the case, the cabochon and the secret signature carry the read.

The maison that will read its own archives for you, and whose finishing no counterfeit reaches.

The Royal Oak's tapisserie dial and its case bevels are two things a factory cannot copy cheaply.

Rolex's sister house, with its own movements now — and a vintage market full of replaced parts.
