Antique & Modern, Ltd.

Welcome to our new Shop! All items seen on this site are available to purchase either directly from the site, or by popping in to our shop in East Barnet Village. Antique & Modern are based in North London, 10 minutes from Junction 24 on the M25. Established in 1982, by Jeremy Gain (BA.CMBHI), as a clock and watch repairers at a time when the horology trade was winding down due to the development of quartz technology. In the 90's the watch and clock trade was hit hard by the recession. We lost many clock and watch shops throughout the UK, including the heart of our industry in Clerkenwell, Most painfully, our biggest loss of all was the clock and watch college in Hackney. The founder of our company, Jeremy, soon felt that it may be time to call it a day and close the shop or sell up. It was agreed that the management would take over the shop and continue to keep his legacy going. Vanessa E. Bennett (A.B.H.I) and Mark W. Wiles (F.B.H.I) have continued to grow the business since the changeover in 1993, playing to their strengths.
