A two-bench atelier on Argyle Street since 1991. Patek service-of-record. Vacheron, Rolex, JLC, A. Lange & Söhne accepted. Estate sales by private consignment. No walk-ins, no watch-and-wait.
Hadley publishes the workshop log every fortnight. Each job is identified by reference number only — the owner is named in private correspondence, never on the public diary.
"A watch is a small private contract between three parties — the maker, the wearer, and the watchmaker who promises to make sure it keeps its word."— Edmund Hadley FBHI · Master Watchmaker
Original strap, signed crystal, light patina. Service-of-record at Hadley since 1998. Box and one extended-warranty letter.
Restored bezel insert (original retained). Honest case, light polish in 1996, untouched since.
Slim, signed, original. Light surface marks consistent with daily wear. Three Hadley services on file since 1999.
Trained at WOSTEP Neuchâtel (Complications, 1985–1987). Independent atelier on Argyle Street since 1991. Service-of-record relationships with three Australian collector houses and four private foundations.
Edmund works at the bench six days a week. There is no apprentice on the books. There has never been a junior watchmaker on a Hadley service ticket.
