FAQs
Do you ship globally?
Absolutely - our watches are regularly shipped all over the world. We normally via with FedEx and it typically takes:
- 4-9 business days to reach North America
- 4-12 business days to reach Europe
- 4-12 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.
All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.
Are your watches authentic?
Everything we sell is 100% authentic. All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for vintage watches.
Are all of your watches serviced?
Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.
All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.
What condition are your watches?
Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.
If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.
Are your watches water resistant?
Our service watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com
Do I have to pay customs or taxes?
It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.
Do you ship globally?
Absolutely - our watches are regularly shipped all over the world. We normally via with FedEx and it typically takes:
- 4-9 business days to reach North America
- 4-12 business days to reach Europe
- 4-12 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.
All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.
What is your returns policy?
Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
The Beauty of Provenance
The art of yukitsuri is practised throughout the Kanazawa region of central Japan. Dominated by the Japanese Alps, Kanazawa found itself facing a unique problem every winter - heavy snowfall was weighing down the largest and oldest trees' branches until they broke. An elegant solution was found and large bamboos would act as tent poles to which up to 800 ropes could splay out, fastening each branch to a central, weight-bearing pole. This incredible feat of early engineering not only protected the history of the tree, but its future as well. Understanding and preserving the provenance of a watch is as important as the act of creating the story, and we're very thankful you're considering starting (or continuing) your watch's journey with us. Look after it well, and it will remember every moment you let it be a part of. Don't hesitate to contact us.

Absolutely amazing. Can’t overemphasise how happy I am with the watch. I've only had it two weeks and couple of people have already asked about it. Proper work of art.
