A time tested tradition.Clocks have fascinated David Walter from early in his life. After leaving school he gained employment with a watchmaker, and on completion of a six-year apprenticeship that aroused his interest in this craft he found himself in England where he worked for the prestigious Crown Jewelers- Garrard & Co. Regent Street, in Londons West End.

Three years later, David was in Vienna, Austria, employed by the Omega Watch Company. Here he enhanced his skills for eight years, but deep inside a yearning had begun calling out to him to do something beyond the drudgery of mass production repairs. In the evenings, David was putting efforts into restoring antique pocket watches for private collectors.

The skills he has learned in the restoration of fine antique pocket watches led to the creation of the David Walter Collection of Timepieces.

After spending some time at his premises in his native Perth, Western Australia, David is now firmly established in California, a short drive north from Los Angeles in Buellton, in the beautiful wine-growing region of the Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Barbara County.

From here he offers collectors and connoisseurs a selection of some of the finest timepieces available.

Examples include pieces from the Queen Anne, Georgian, Regency, and Victorian period English longcase clocks and barometers. Continental European wall and mantelpiece timepieces.
