Yes, all watches are serviced.

Each watch sold comes with a 12-month mechanical warranty from the date of purchase.

Each watch is sourced from private collectors, antique dealers, or trusted partner sellers.

Vintage Watch Spirit sells exclusively online. Each watch benefits from photos and videos, and a detailed description to guide your choice with complete peace of mind.

Vintage watches feature slimmer and more discreet cases than contemporary watches, typically between 34 and 38 mm, compared to 40 mm and above for modern models. It is precisely this understated elegance that defines their character, but it can be surprising if you are not used to it.

Vintage watches have stood the test of time, changed hands, and traveled. It is rare for a piece to come to us with its original box and papers. When this is the case, we clearly state it on the product page. But a watch without documentation is no less authentic: it is often its patina and history that give it its character.

We recommend having your mechanical or automatic watch serviced approximately every 5 years to preserve its accuracy and lifespan. Over time, lubricating oils dry out and the movement's micro-parts wear down. If your watch loses time, stops for no reason, or seems difficult to wind, these are often signs that a service is needed.

Yes, absolutely! A vintage watch is meant to be worn. Just be sure to avoid knocks, water, and prolonged exposure to the sun to ensure its longevity.

• To wind your watch, you must turn the crown clockwise until you feel slight resistance.
• To set the time, gently pull out the crown and then turn the hands to the desired time. Once set, push the crown back to its initial position.

In case of difficulty or unusual resistance, do not force it, entrust it to a watchmaker or contact us.

A mechanical watch is hand-wound by turning the crown, while an automatic watch self-winds thanks to the natural movements of your wrist. Both are mechanical watches — without batteries.

Store your watch in a dry place away from heat.
