Pre-owned watches

Our pre-owned watches

We have had time for you for over 100 years
Roger Schweizer discovered his passion for high-quality pre-owned watches many years ago and has been specializing in them ever since. To ensure that every timepiece from previous ownership finds its way into new hands in perfect condition, our watchmakers carefully inspect each 20- to 60-year-old watch before resale. Many of our pre-owned models even come with a repair warranty issued by the original manufacturer.

We’d be happy to show you our selection of wristwatches in person – or go on a treasure hunt for you if you’ve set your heart on a specific reference.

Our Tips for Buying Pre-Owned Watches

  • A pre-owned watch should always be thoroughly serviced by a qualified watchmaker before purchase.
  • Ideally, it should be in excellent condition (no scratches on the crystal, no cracks on the dial).
  • Look for exclusivity.
  • Original papers and box can significantly increase the watch’s value.

Service
Before being handed over to a buyer, all watches are fully serviced either by our trained watchmakers or by the respective manufacturer. Each pre-owned watch comes with a warranty – either from us or from the brand itself.

Certificate
Each watch includes a certificate from Chronometrie Spinnler + Schweizer, providing a detailed description of the case and the movement.

Note
Please note that availability of the watches shown here may vary due to their rarity. Feel free to visit us in store – we’ll be happy to assist you.
