The Manufacturer’s Warranty
|
At Cresus, we are specialists in recent watches. Many watch lovers are interested in the pre-owned modern watch niche as it offers a number of advantages : very appealing prices, items in excellent condition that have rarely - or sometimes never - been worn, very often with the original documents and presentation box. When a watch is sold with all of it's original papers and presentation case, it is considered to be a “full set” (complete). Sometimes, these watches are still covered by the original warranty, from the Manufacturer.
Every one of these watches is covered by a specific warranty ranging from a few months to two years, depending on it's age. You can easily identify these watches on our Internet site: the Manufacturer’s Warranty is specified on the product pages for all of the watches that are still covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

When the watch is covered by this warranty, in the event of a problem with your timepiece, you can directly contact the manufacturer, who will troubleshoot the malfunction and make any necessary repairs.
This warranty covers all manufacturing flaws and malfunctions, but does not cover any damage caused by accidents or by improper use of the timepiece.
“Premium” watches
Do you have a particularly demanding criteria when it comes to purchasing a new timepiece? We recommend you take a close look at our “Premium” watches. For your satisfaction, we have created a collection exclusively composed of watches that are less than one year old, are “mint” or “excellent” condition, still covered by the Manufacturer’s Warranty and have their original documents and presentation box. This range of watches can be easily identified by the “Premium” label on the photo of each of the watches.
