Entering the world of pre-owned luxury watches allows you to own iconic timepieces that have made horological history. Our selection of second-hand watches features legendary models from the world’s most prestigious brands. Each piece is carefully curated and undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection to ensure that its aesthetic and mechanical condition meets our exacting standards of excellence.
Buying a used luxury watch requires trust. That is why every certified pre-owned timepiece in our catalog is authenticated by master watchmakers. We verify the serial numbers, the purity of the metals, and the integrity of the movement. Most of our vintage watches receive a full service and cleaning before being listed, ensuring that your investment provides the same precision as a brand-new model while carrying the unique soul of a previous era.
The pre-owned watch market is a treasure trove for collectors looking for discontinued references or limited editions that are no longer available in retail stores. From vintage automatic chronographs to classic gold dress watches, these pieces often appreciate in value over time. Owning a second-hand designer watch is not just a style choice; it is a smart financial move into a market of tangible assets and sustainable luxury.
We provide a transparent experience for every collector. Many of our pre-owned watches come with their “Full Set”—the original box and papers. When these are unavailable, we provide a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated warranty from our workshop. Each watch is delivered in a premium presentation case, ready to be worn or added to a prestigious collection with total peace of mind.
12 months, given by us — against 24 months on new products. There is no manufacturer’s warranty on a used piece, and anyone promising one is not telling you the truth. What matters is who stands behind the watch: here, we do, with our own workshop.
Three things: that case number, movement and documents agree; that dial, hands and crown are original, since those are the parts most often replaced; and how the movement actually behaves when measured. None of it is visible from the outside — the watch has to be opened.
Yes, even if you did not buy it from us: full servicing, parts sourcing and water-resistance testing. On period pieces the rule is to do as little as possible — conserve, do not rebuild.
