We give each watch all the time it takes to guarantee its traceability and authenticity

Our watchmakers, who have multi-brand expertise, proceed as follows

Our mission: to give a second life to watches

Our mission: to give a second life to watches

We have at heart to present you watches in excellent condition

We carry out in our workshop :


  • an overhaul and tests of operation and waterproofness.
  • depending on the previous results, the replacement of certain elements.
  • a complete cleaning of the watch
  • a polishing of the case, and of the steel bracelet if necessary
  • change of the strap if it is made of leather and does not meet our quality criteria.


We then replace it with a new bracelet with the Cresus logo, handcrafted and made in France by a company that also supplies major Swiss brands.

Our expertise for your peace of mind

The longevity of your watch depends above all on the care you give it. It is therefore very important to take certain maintenance precautions, but also to entrust it to professionals for an overhaul, which we recommend every five years, an occasional check or a one-time repair.


Cresus has a state-of-the-art watchmaking workshop equipped with the same equipment as the workshops of the major brands. Because we have the same quality requirements, our workshop is already approved by certain Swiss brands of the Swatch Group (Omega). Our team of five qualified watchmakers, a workshop manager and an after-sales service manager will find the right solution for your needs.

After-sales service, repairs, maintenance: our quality commitment



Deadlines

For all services performed in our workshop, we commit ourselves to perform your "quick service" (change of battery, bracelet...) within the hour. As for revisions and repairs, we process them within an average of 4 weeks. For services involving the intervention of another after-sales service, you will be given a precise estimate of the time and cost.



Quality

Our team of qualified and experienced watchmakers is qualified to handle the watches you entrust to us, however delicate they may be. We offer you quality interventions, thanks to our know-how, and a workshop with innovative facilities. When we cannot repair or overhaul your watch ourselves, we call on our partner workshops, in complete transparency.



Prices/Quotes

All watches with a one-year parts and labor warranty from Cresus are covered free of charge. For all after-sales service operations, we apply an affordable rate, in accordance with the values we advocate.



Omega approved workshop

Whether it's a partial service (water-resistance, adjustment and control) or a complete service (overhaul and replacement of worn components), as an authorized Omega workshop, we offer you a 24-month warranty on the Omega watches you entrust to us.
