Our love for rare and beautiful objects isn't limited to those of the horological variety! In addition to our perpetual treasure hunt for great watches, we cast a wider net into the world of vintage objects, a practice that, since our founding, has yielded a trove of finds we happily share during the holiday season each year.
From vintage clocks to pocket knives, lighters to diving instrumentation, old-world ashtrays to desk sculptures — these are the types of mementos that heavily tug on our nostalgic heart strings and further sate our impulse for preservation and storytelling.
Unfortunately we can't keep them all...
This unique brass sculpture of a shark is one of the most fun finds of the year. Likely produced in Asia in the mid-century, it is emblematic more of the silhouette of 'shark' than of any particular species. For those of you who dive, fish, or care deeply for marine conservation as we do, this lovely art object encourages a sense of wonder at the majesty of these beautiful creatures, while referencing the terror they brought for many a mariner.
Sized at approximately 13" x 7" x 3 1/2", it will make for the perfect decorative element in the library, living room, or Captain's Quarters of your home!
