Are the watches authentic?

I carefully select watches for their originality, condition and character. If a watch has any known replaced parts or other deviations from originality, they are always clearly disclosed before a sale.

Are the watches serviced?

Every watch is inspected and tested for accuracy before being offered. Where servicing is required or recommended, it can be carried out prior to delivery by an experienced watchmaker.

Do you buy vintage watches?

Yes. I'm always interested in purchasing quality vintage watches or entire collections. Feel free to get in touch if you're considering selling.

Bank transfer is preferred for most transactions, while cash payment is possible for in-person meetings in Prague. An invoice is issued for every purchase.

Your personal data are processed only to the extent necessary to respond to your enquiry, provide advice, arrange the purchase or sale of a watch, complete a transaction, and fulfil our legal obligations.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Personal data are processed only where there is a lawful basis under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Depending on the circumstances, processing is based on:

Performance of a Contract — where processing is necessary to respond to an enquiry or to provide the requested services, including the purchase or sale of a watch.
Legal Obligation — where certain information must be retained to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting obligations.

Your personal data are kept only as long as necessary for the purposes explained above or as required by law. Where no legal obligation requires longer retention, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

6. Cookies

This website does not currently use analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies. Only cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation and security of the website may be used.

Right to Withdraw Consent — to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.
Right to Lodge a Complaint — to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if it is believed that the processing of personal data infringes applicable data protection laws. In the Czech Republic, the competent supervisory authority is the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů — ÚOOÚ), Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7, Czech Republic.

8. Data Security

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are implemented to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or unauthorised access.

Although reasonable safeguards are maintained, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. International Data Transfers

Where personal data are processed by service providers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR, including the use of the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
