Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend bringing the patient (your watch) into one of our shops. Our watchmaker conducts a preliminary analysis. If our studio cannot carry out the work, we send the watch to the manufactory. The service center creates a cost estimate. If this is accepted, it usually takes at least 6 – 8 weeks until the timepiece (revised/repaired) returns to Embassy. Our watchmaker performs a final quality control. We will then contact you so that we can get your watch back to you as soon as possible.
Yes, that is basically possible. However, please note the following: Always attach a note to the watch, with the information what will not work properly. If you send us a watch from abroad, especially from the US, special forms are needed. We are happy to assist you. Under no circumstances should you send us a package unannounced from abroad. Because there may be issues at the border, which could cause fees and delays.
