How They Work
Find Your Movement
Automatic, quartz, or mechanical—we'll walk you through what matters and help you pick the right one for how you'll actually wear it.
Quartz
Ticks once a second
Battery-powered and accurate to a few seconds a month. Grab-and-go — perfect if a watch sits in a drawer between wears.
Shop quartz watchesAutomatic
Sweeps 8 steps a second
Wound by the movement of your wrist. No battery, ever — just a beautiful sweep and a heartbeat you can see through the case back.
Shop automatic watchesHand-wound
Sweeps 6 steps a second
The traditional way: a few turns of the crown each morning. Slimmer cases and a little ritual to start the day.

Every Watch We Sell Has Been Inspected and Guaranteed
Find Your Fit
Getting the right size matters
Measure your wrist with a soft tape or strip of paper to find your ideal watch diameter and band length.
Pop your wrist size in and we'll show you which case sizes suit you — then every watch page tells you how it will sit.
Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it. We'll remember it on this device for every watch.

Our Story
From one case to a carefully chosen collection
Hollis & Vane started with a single display case and a genuine passion for mechanical watches. What began as a personal obsession has grown into a shop where every single piece—from classic dress watches to rugged divers and vintage chronographs—is hand-picked with real care.
Our in-house watchmaker inspects, cleans, and times every watch before it leaves our hands. We back each one with a 12-month guarantee because we stand behind what we sell. Whether you're buying your first automatic or adding to a collection you've been building for years, we'll help you find the right watch without any pressure.

“Bought my first automatic here. Kate spent half an hour helping me find one that actually suited my skinny wrist — the size tool on the site was spot on.”
Tom · Northfield Field 39 “My dad's 1970s watch hadn't run in years. They serviced it, kept me updated with the tracker, and it's now keeping better time than my phone.”
Aisha · Vintage service “Part-exchanged an old diver against a pre-owned chronograph. Fair price, full condition report, and it arrived sized to my wrist.”
Gareth · Pre-owned Corvan Chrono
