Dear clock enthusiasts. We are launching our antiqueclocksforsale section in July 2010.
Often we receive requests for antique clocks for sale in South Africa. Its always been an ambition of Herman Holtzhausen to fulfill the requests of these customers of ours too.
As in all our offerings we do not offer anything for sale until we know exactly what it is our custmer desires and what it is that we can offer. In these post-colonial times we have found many clocks of unknown origin or value that pass as antiques. To be forthright, we even purchased one of these beautiful clocks and it stands in our lounge. Its not for sale!
After almost 40 years in the clock industry, we have now gained enough experience and have a network second to none, that ensures our customers of only the best pedigreed long case, mantel and bracket clocks and Vienese Regulators. All come with certificates of authentication, ie origin and value.
All the antiques we source come with refurbished movements. This is not a re-built movement. Restoration is an art which seeks the balance between functionality (you do want to purchase an item that functions as it should) and value (you want as much of the original clock in its original condition as possible). To achieve this balance we work with our network of qualified horologists, locally and internationally.
We will offer antique clocks for sale and invite any specific requests.
