Bridgerton Prop. Georgian Horn cased pair cased verge watch TUTING c1770

Back in July 2024 I was asked to supply the watches for Season 3 of Bridgerton. I had supplied watches for the first season and second season but for the third season, the production team went for more modern watches and received criticism for this choice. So, it was back to Atlam Watches for some proper antique watches!

I supplied 21 watches to the production team on a rental basis and they were with the production team for over a year.

As I have not watched any episodes I do not know what watches were used or by whom but perhaps some eagle eyed viewers may spot a few.

Also please do note that in the past so many watches I lent to film and TV companies come back to me broken, I generally supply non working watches now. I did lend a few working watches and so if you are looking for one of these please contact me as this watch is NOT WORKING

This watch is sold in our Watches for restoration section and does not come with a warranty. If you are looking for watch with a full warranty, please go to our Stock page or ask for assistance to find what you are looking for
