Warranty and Authenticity Policy  — HoroMe1

At HoroMe1, every timepiece tells a story — and we take pride in ensuring that each watch and strap offered through our platform reflects authenticity, craftsmanship, and transparency.
This Warranty & Authenticity Policy outlines our commitment to accuracy and the terms under which we stand behind our products.

​

1. General Overview

By purchasing from HoroMe1, you acknowledge that:

  • Some products offered are new, while others are pre-owned or vintage.

  • Each item is individually inspected and described to the best of our ability based on its current condition at the time of sale.

  • We value honesty and craftsmanship — but due to the nature of mechanical watches and their variability, all sales are subject to the terms outlined below.

​

2. Authenticity Guarantee

Every watch listed on HoroMe1 is carefully verified for authenticity.

  • We do not sell replicas, counterfeits, or homage watches represented as authentic.

  • Serial numbers, movement details, and brand markings (when available) are inspected before listing.

  • For pre-owned and vintage models, we rely on a combination of internal evaluation and, when applicable, verification by trusted horology professionals or third-party specialists.

If any authenticity concern arises after purchase, please Contact Us immediately with documentation or reasoning — we will review and address the matter fairly and promptly.

​

3. Condition Disclosure (Pre-Owned and Vintage Watches)

Pre-owned watches and straps may display signs of age, wear, or prior servicing.
We describe each item’s condition as accurately as possible through written details and photographs, including:

  • Case and crystal condition

  • Bracelet, strap, or clasp wear

  • Dial patina or restoration (if applicable)

  • Mechanical performance at time of inspection

However, due to the nature of mechanical timepieces:

  • We cannot guarantee long-term timekeeping accuracy, water resistance, or power reserve performance on pre-owned or vintage items.

  • Any issues arising from normal aging, wear, or environmental exposure after delivery are not covered under warranty.

​

4. Warranty Coverage

  • Please refer to the original manufacturer’s warranty coverage if applicable.

​

4.1 New Watches

  • New watches may include a manufacturer’s warranty, which will be clearly stated in the product description.

  • Warranty terms vary by manufacturer; HoroMe1 facilitates communication but does not assume responsibility for third-party warranty fulfillment.

​

4.2 Pre-Owned & Vintage Watches

  • All pre-owned watches are sold “as-is”, with no implied warranty on mechanical function or cosmetic condition beyond what is described at the time of sale.

  • HoroMe1 does not cover damage resulting from:

    • Water exposure

    • Accidental drops or impacts

    • Unauthorized servicing or modification

    • Normal wear, battery life, or strap deterioration

We encourage professional servicing every few years to maintain accuracy and longevity.

​

5. Straps, Accessories, and Custom Pieces

  • Leather, fabric, and rubber straps are wear-and-tear items and are not covered under warranty once used.

  • Custom strap combinations or modified pieces are sold as final sale.

  • Natural materials (such as leather or canvas) may display color variations or aging over time — these are characteristics, not defects.

​

6. Return & Inspection Policy

Due to the collectible and mechanical nature of watches:

  • Returns are accepted only if the item received is materially different from the description or listing photos.

  • Buyers must notify us within 48 hours of delivery to initiate a claim.

  • Returned items must remain in unworn, unaltered condition and include all packaging, tags, and documents.

Once inspected, we will determine eligibility for a refund or credit.

​

7. Liability Disclaimer

HoroMe1 shall not be liable for:

  • Any loss, damage, or defect occurring after delivery;

  • Any repair or servicing costs incurred post-purchase;

  • Any consequential or incidental damages (such as loss of time or resale value).

All watches are sold in good faith based on the information available at the time of listing.
Purchasing a timepiece through HoroMe1 signifies acceptance of these conditions.

​

8. Maintenance Recommendations

To preserve your timepiece:

  • Avoid magnetic fields and extreme temperature changes.

  • Have automatic or mechanical watches serviced every 3–5 years by a certified watchmaker.

  • Keep leather straps dry and store watches in a protective case when not in use.

HoroMe1 celebrates responsible ownership — your care ensures your watch’s legacy continues.

​

9. Policy Updates

HoroMe1 reserves the right to update or revise this policy as our operations evolve or as legal standards change.
The latest version will always be available on this page, with the effective date clearly indicated.
