Closed on Sundays and Mondays, this shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every other day of the week. As the name suggests, most of the stock here is made up of vintage watches, though you'll be pleasantly surprised to see they do carry other things in stock. Maybe you'll find something special today?
