Pre-loved watches

Pre-loved or certified pre-owned luxury watches are high-quality timepieces that have had one or more previous owners and are being resold. They usually come from renowned brands and are carefully checked, serviced and authenticated before being resold. Pre-owned luxury watches combine excellent quality, timeless design and craftsmanship with an often more attractive price – giving special watches with history a second life.

By specialising in antique and vintage watches, we were ahead of the current vintage trend in 1940. Today we carry rare automatic watches, manually wound watches and quartz watches – many with an extract from the manufacturer’s index confirming their authenticity. We would be happy to show you our collection or go on a treasure hunt for you if you have your heart set on something specific.

The watches of Patek Philippe, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin and Omega will receive an extract from the corresponding manufacturer’s index if available. The extract confirms the authenticity of the watches based on the case and movement number.
