The history of each watch, in one file
Papers, service history and previous owners stay with the watch they belong to, from the day you buy it to the day it goes out.

What goes in the file
Each watch carries its own file, next to its reference, photographs and cost.
- Papers and box
- Record which papers and which box came with the watch, so a buyer’s first question has an answer.
- Purchase invoice and supplier
- The invoice you were given and who you bought from stay on the watch, next to what you paid.
- Condition
- Condition, and any part that was replaced, refinished or redialled.
- Service history
- Each service with its date and who carried it out.
- Previous owners
- The owners before you, as far as you know them.
