Given the loss in recent years of lots of really useful high street shops, and their inevitable replacement with......well, you know, it's wonderful to still have this horological gem within our locale. Great service, pricing, skill and enthusiasm, everywhere! Proper shop, and not a latte in sight.
My great aunt’s left us a clock and a little bit of money to repair it. But unfortunately a mirror had fallen on it, during lockdown. I took it to this repair shop, which was recommended by a neighbour, I have to say they did a fantastic job, we’re very please with the work undertaken, highly recommend.
Cannot speak highly enough of Antique & Modern, Excellent customer service . I had my mums watch repaired and the whole process from start to finish was exceptionally pleasant and very helpful . I will definitely be using them again to service our other watches. Great communication all the way through and Attention to detail. Thank you

Great to find locally and I must say the shop was buzzing with activity, I’ve just had two watches serviced by them. My dad’s old Omega Speedmaster and my wife’s Rolex. I was recommended by my local barber. I found the staff to be polite knowledgeable and very helpful and the watches came back looking as smart as they did when they were new. One happy customer 😁 it felt like I was on the BBC repair shop, when they asked me what my expectations were, I asked for the watches to look like they did when they were new, I was surprised to be “asked” as most places just polish the watches without asking. I had a bad experience with a previous repairer who polished my vintage GMT to death! All I can say, this place obviously takes notice of its customers needs. I must admit I was surprised to see the bad reviews, one man’s hero is an others villain. I personally couldn’t be happier. It guess most people forget how important it is to leave a good reviews, you pays your money and that’s the end of it. It’s important to leave good feedback as we’ll as negative
I have brought some beautiful pieces of jewellery from here before and this is the ONLY place that I will bring mine or my husband watches, we have a few different sorts of watches including 2 omega’s and they are great with all of them. All the staff are super friendly and will go above and beyond to help you the best the can. Not only are they amazing at fixing and servicing watches but they also have an amazing selection of jewellery. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this amazing shop.
This lovely shop offers excellent customer care as well as an array of beautiful items ....antique and modern ... exactly as the name states. If you are a watch or clock enthusiast, then you’ll find no better place to shop. If you need a battery for your watch or need a repair - look no further . I can’t recommend this inviting shop highly enough. Quality items and the utmost courtesy.
What a great reliable company had two clocks and three watches serviced this year. The prices are very fair and the service Is second to none highly recommend.
