Your
questions
Which vintage watches do you sell?
Only mechanical watches we know well: Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Cartier… Each vintage watch is selected for its original condition, then fully serviced in our rue Claude Bernard workshop in Paris 5th. The selection changes as services are completed: few pieces for sale, but all through our workbench and guaranteed for 24 months.
What does the service include?
Full dismantling of the movement, cleaning, replacement of worn parts, lubrication, regulation and testing on a timegrapher. The measurements are recorded on each watch's workshop record.
What warranty?
Twenty-four months on the movement. As with our services, the warranty doesn't cover shocks or oxidation. A vintage watch is never guaranteed water-resistant: keep it away from water.
Can I see the watch before buying it?
Of course, that's actually what we prefer. Reserve it from its page by choosing a time slot: it's kept for you until your appointment, rue Claude Bernard (Paris 5th).
Can I buy remotely?
No. Our watches are sold only at the workshop, rue Claude Bernard (Paris 5th), and handed over in person. You can reserve one by message, then come to try it on and have it adjusted on the spot.
Which payment methods?
At the workshop: bank card, cash up to €1,000, cheque or bank transfer. For a cheque or transfer, the watch is handed over once payment is confirmed.
