Does bracelet resizing affect my movement guarantee?

    No.

Does engraving affect my movement guarantee?

    No, except that we will not refund you the engraving charge.

Can I delay the guarantee start-date for a gift?

    No. The guarantee starts on the date that we despatch the watch.

Is the movement guarantee transferable if I pass my watch on?

    Yes, provided the new owner can provide suitable evidence of their ownership, such as the original purchase documents.

Are quartz batteries included in the movement guarantee?

    We expect our quartz batteries to last at least two years and so will replace any defective battery free of charge up to this time. After this time, we will be happy to replace a battery but there will be a cost for doing so.
