JHB Starozitnosti

Description:

• This little shop just off the main pedestrian shopping area of Na Prikope is an Aladdin's cave of antique watches and clocks. An original baroque fresco covers the boutique's vaulted ceiling and the walls below it are filled with clocks from the same century. The shop specializes in 18th and 19th century time-pieces of all types. There are grandfather clocks, carriage clocks, wonderfully ornate gold-leafed baroque pieces as well as a case full of gold pocket watches. The shop has its own workshop and watchsmith for reparations. All the clocks that it sells have been restored to working order and the room is filled with a symphony of grand and minor tickings.
