The Tony Gibbons Watch Collection
Sale Results

20th October 2025

"Tony was a keen horologist which all began just before his wedding where he was given his Grandfathers two pocket watches but was told they could not be repaired. This became a challenge to the mechanically minded Tony, so in Portobello Rd, on his honeymoon, he bought a box of similar movements and repaired them which began his passion for the next 55 years."  

"His greatest joy was to take a long neglected watch, the older the better, and restore it to its former glory. Making intricate parts from scratch. He loved collecting, repairing and dealing in watches and would wants others to appreciate and enjoy his collection as much as he did" - Sylvia Gibbons, Tony's wife
