My background

Fifteen years of watch expertise

After fifteen years of watch expertise, eight of them spent in Geneva, I buy second-hand watches from people who wish to sell their timepieces.

At Chronostyle, you will find carefully chosen pre-owned watches for men and women. Treating yourself, preserving watchmaking heritage and giving every watch a second life.

My method

Every piece examined in detail before I offer it to you

Every watch passes through my hands before it reaches the site. I open it, I inspect it, I have it serviced. If it doesn’t convince me, it won’t go on sale.

01

I select

I only buy what I would wear myself: balance, condition, history.

02

I appraise

Authenticity, case, dial, movement: I check every part.

03

I have it serviced

Every watch is serviced before it goes on sale.

04

I guarantee

A one-year warranty, insured DHL Express shipping, and I stay reachable.

The showroom

The showroom, by appointment

Every watch on the site can be shown to you by appointment. The showroom does not hold any stock.

Please book an appointment and tell me which model or models you would like to see.

“Today, watch enthusiasts place less trust in the present, while the imprint of the past remains a guarantee of quality, prestige and durability.”

My book · forthcoming

My book, coming soon

A name, a date, a dedication on the back of a case. My book tells the story of engraved watches, those exceptional pieces in which every inscription hides a story.

Your watch may well be in it.
