Everything you need to ship
One platform, every primitive. Replace a half-dozen tools and ship in an afternoon.
Inventor Stalls
Each maker keeps a personal stall on our marketplace — workshop photographs, certified machining tolerances, and a logbook of every piece they have sold since joining.
Brass and Gear Library
Six thousand period components in stock — escapements, mainsprings, anodized brass plate, glass valves — sourced from estate workshops across Europe.
Aetheric Auctions
A weekly sealed-bid auction for one-of-a-kind pieces. Bidding paddles arrive by post; the gavel falls on Thursday evenings at half past eight.
Workshop Tours
Subscribers receive quarterly invitations to private workshop tours. Hot tea in the back room of a clockmaker's shop, the smell of beeswax and machine oil.
Tolerance Certificates
Every piece arrives with a hand-numbered tolerance certificate. Mainspring torque, gear-pitch error, escapement frequency — measured, signed, sealed in wax.
Repair Underwriting
Buy from us and we underwrite the repair of any mechanical fault for ten years. We dispatch the piece back to the original maker, at our expense, by registered post.

Questions, answered
Yes. Every stall is held by a single named inventor or a workshop of fewer than five. We refuse listings from factories and we audit each stall annually. You buy from the bench, not from a brand.
