EMAIL:

I have always preferred emails to phone calls because they do not interrupt my working day and email is especially useful if you have some photographs that you want to show me. In fact, telephone interruptions have now become so frequent that it's preventing me from working on clocks and I often have to ignore them. So emails only please. There are three simple ways to email me:

a. If you are used to email protocols, use:

new.enquiry @ horologica . co . uk (leaving out the spaces).

b. Alternatively, click here and it will open your mail program and begin a new pre-addressed email.

Because of aggressive spam filters on some email servers please include a phone number in case my reply is bounced; if you don't get a response within 48 hours, you can assume my reply has been filtered out by your mail server (or that I'm away enjoying myself somewhere). By the way, for those wondering about GDPR, the information you give will only be used in connection with your enquiry and will not be stored by me so you needn't worry about spam marketing from me or anyone else later.

POST:

Please do not just post things to me without contacting me first as you'll need a fuller address and your parcel is liable to be returned.

VISIT:

Please don't just turn up without booking a date as you will not get an answer (I could be out or busy in my noisy workshop). I try to make time most days during the week for deliveries and collections but not evenings or weekends I'm afraid - that's family time and this is my home.


Finally, a brief word on payment. Cash and cheques (drawn on a UK sterling account) are acceptable but cheques must clear first. I make no profit from this hobby so I don't need the hassle of chasing up bounced cheques after releasing an item in good faith. If you're not local and can't wait, I have an account with PayPal which means you can pay by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, or Solo) but I will only ship to a PayPal confirmed address for similar reasons. My preference, however, is a BACS transfer, which costs nothing and can be done in a minute via online or telephone banking.

I won't post any clocks overseas because of the transit risks and Customs hassles.
