§ Legal

Terms & Conditions

This is a personal, non-commercial website maintained by an individual collector. By accessing or using the site you agree to the terms below.

1. Nature of this website

This website is a private horological archive owned and operated by a single individual (the "Owner"). It is not a business, a shop, or a commercial entity. The collection shown here is a personal archive shared publicly for informational and cultural purposes.

The Owner is a private individual and not a professional dealer. Any transaction arising from this site is a private sale between individuals.

2. Use of the site

You may browse, read and share content for personal, non-commercial use only. You agree not to misuse the site, attempt to disrupt it, or access data you are not authorized to access.

All content — including text, photographs, videos and design — is owned by the Owner or used with permission. You may not copy, reproduce or redistribute it without prior written consent.

3. Items offered for sale

Some items shown on this site may be offered for sale or marked "open to offers". These are private, pre-owned items from a personal collection. They are sold "as is" and "where is", without any warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of timekeeping, or authenticity of components.

Watches are vintage or used mechanical objects. Descriptions, dimensions, reference numbers, calibers and conditions are provided in good faith to the best of the Owner's knowledge but may contain errors or omissions. Measurements marked "to be confirmed" have not been independently verified. Prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to ask questions, request additional photographs, and — where appropriate — inspect items in person or have them assessed by a qualified professional before committing to a purchase.

Any sale is a private sale between the Owner and the buyer. Unless explicitly agreed in writing before the sale, all sales are final and items are non-returnable. Shipping, insurance, customs duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Some photographs shown on this site have been enhanced or generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence for presentation purposes. They are intended to illustrate the piece and may not reflect the exact current condition of the item. If you submit an offer, the Owner will provide unedited, real photographs of the item upon request so you can assess its true condition before committing.

4. Offers, trades and communications

Submitting an offer, trade proposal or message through the contact form constitutes an expression of interest only and does not constitute a binding offer or contract. No sale is concluded until both parties explicitly agree in writing on the item, price and terms.

The Owner reserves the right to decline any offer or communication without explanation.

5. User accounts

You may create an account to access features such as commenting, the newsletter, and profile management. You can register with an email and password, or by signing in with a third-party provider such as Google.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact the Owner promptly.

The Owner may suspend or remove accounts that violate these terms or that are used to misuse the site.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Owner shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of this website or from any transaction conducted through it, including but not limited to loss of value, service costs, or disappointment of expectations.

The Owner does not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any item will remain available. Content is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

8. Third-party links and content

The site may contain links to third-party websites (such as social media or external references). The Owner has no control over and assumes no responsibility for their content or practices.

9. Changes to these terms

The Owner may update these terms at any time. The version displayed on this page is the current one; continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable to the Owner's place of residence. Any dispute shall be resolved before the competent courts of that jurisdiction.
