A guide for this piece: about $1,886, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Authenticity & Care

Treat as a non-running collectible pending a qualified watchmaker's diagnosis and repair estimate. Do not force the crown, wind repeatedly or open the hinged-looking case at home. Ask a jeweller to inspect the cuff joints, clasp, safety chain and diamond/sapphire settings separately from the movement repair.
