We aim to repair your watch within eight weeks from quote payment (four weeks for battery replacement). If repairs need to be done in Switzerland, it could take up to 12 weeks but you will be informed prior to this.

Over time, lubricants in the watch can lose viscosity, causing erratic timing or stopping. We recommend servicing your watch every three to four years. Please note, by not doing this, it will not void your warranty.

We are unable to provide the full cost of repair or service until we have received and thoroughly inspected your watch. Our skilled Technicians will carefully examine the watch, and only then can we confirm the final price.

Our tolerance is +/- 20 seconds per day for most mechanical watches (-4/+6 seconds per day for COSC-certified watches). If your watch isn't within these tolerances, we adjust it for improved accuracy.

We request all repairs be done at our CW headquarters to avoid invalidating your warranty. This includes battery replacements. Note that we do not sell or provide parts.

We change the battery, check all functions, perform a pressure test, reset the chronograph if needed, and perform a time check.

Models are sold as advertised, and we cannot change specifications to those of other models, this includes new logos.

Unfortunately, we do not provide old parts after repair.

All watches are pressure tested before being sent back. If your watch fails the pressure test, we will inform you personally.
