Why buy a vintage watch?
Choosing a vintage watch means opting for a heritage of exceptional craftsmanship. Each unique piece tells a story…
Vintage watches are often crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a level of craftsmanship that is no longer found in today’s productions, or only at much higher prices.
By choosing a vintage watch, you are also making an eco-friendly choice. Instead of buying a new watch, you give a second life to a quality item, thereby reducing the demand for new productions and the associated ecological footprint.
Serviced and guaranteed watches
At “Il était une montre”, every watch we sell is carefully serviced, inspected, and tested by an expert watchmaker to ensure its perfect functioning and reliability.
We are committed to offering watches of impeccable quality, which is why all our watches come with a 6-month warranty (for watches under €500) or a 1-year warranty (for watches over €500).
This warranty ensures peace of mind and satisfaction, allowing you to fully enjoy your vintage watch with complete confidence.
For more details on the warranty, please refer to our terms and conditions.
