Are your watches authentic?
Yes.
Every watch we offer is presented for sale in good faith as an authentic product. Depending on the watch and the information available, we may perform serial number verification, movement inspection, archive research and other authentication procedures before offering a watch for sale.
All watches are covered by our 12-month international warranty, which includes authenticity.
Do you sell new watches?
No.
We specialize in pre-owned, vintage and neo-vintage luxury watches. Many of our watches are unique pieces that are no longer in production.
Do your watches come with box and papers?
Some do, some don’t.
Any accessories included with a watch will be clearly listed in the product description. If original box, warranty card or papers are included, this will be stated in the listing.
Can I be sure the watch is original?
We take authenticity extremely seriously and stand behind every watch we sell with our 12 month international warranty.
However, many vintage watches have been serviced over decades and may contain replacement components installed during manufacturer or independent servicing. Where known, such information is disclosed in the product description.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes.
Every watch comes with a 12-month international warranty covering:
- Authenticity
- Proper mechanical functioning of the movement
Full details can be found in our Warranty Policy.
Are your watches serviced before sale?
Not necessarily.
Some watches may have been recently serviced, while others may have unknown service history. Whenever we have information regarding servicing, it will be disclosed in the product description.
Are your watches water resistant?
Unless expressly stated otherwise, water resistance is not guaranteed.
Even if a watch originally left the factory with a water-resistance rating, seals and gaskets deteriorate over time. We generally recommend avoiding water exposure for vintage and pre-owned watches.
How accurate are the watches?
Mechanical watches are precision instruments, but their performance can vary depending on age, movement design, service history and wearing habits.
Where available, we may provide timegraph measurements. These measurements are intended as a reference and do not constitute a guarantee of future performance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes.
We ship worldwide using trusted international carriers such as FedEx, UPS and DHL.

Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?
For shipments outside the European Union, local import duties, VAT and customs charges may apply.
These charges are determined by your country’s customs authorities and are the responsibility of the buyer.
Can I return a watch?

Please note that return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the return relates to an accepted warranty claim.

While we do not offer a traditional sourcing service, we are always happy to discuss your preferences and help you choose from our current inventory.
Do you have a physical store?
No.
We operate primarily online and do not maintain a traditional retail storefront.
However, we are happy to arrange personal appointments in Budapest for serious buyers. If there is a specific watch you would like to see, we can arrange for it to be available during your visit.
You are welcome to inspect the watch, try it on, take photographs and ask any questions you may have before making a decision.
