International Warranty - 7 Years

Our priority is to guarantee the proper functioning of the pieces that leave our workshops. Due to our interventions on your timepiece, the manufacturer automatically cancels its original warranty. We replace it with our own 7 years international warranty.

To be able to address every need, we offer a worldwide after-sale service. Each timepiece that we modify is provided with its own certificate of authenticity, individually numbered, dated and signed, providing a full traceability.

All Your Questions, Timely Answered

/

After customization, what happens to the original manufacturer’s warranty?

Most watch brands do not approve of modifications made to their products by unauthorised third parties. As a result, the guarantee of origin is void. After Artisans de Genève has worked on your timepiece, it will no longer be possible to contact the original manufacturer to repair it. This is the reason why we guarantee the service provided on a timepiece for 7 years.

/

Is the customization service guaranteed?

Yes, Artisans de Genève guarantees the service we provide on our clients’ timepieces for a period of 7 years. Our warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, loss, theft or damage due to misuse or the intervention of third parties not authorised by us after our customization service.

/

How does the Artisans de Genève guarantee work?

If there is an issue with your customized timepiece, you may contact us and describe it. If the problem identified falls within the scope of the warranty, our customer service will take care of it. In all cases, our guarantee is only valid upon presentation of a guarantee certificate, dated and signed, corroborated by our own customer file. The services of Artisans de Genève are provided for personal and private use only. Any other use, including commercial, is not approved by Artisans de Genève and will invalidate our warranty.
