Warranties & Repairs
At Twain Time, trust is our timepiece's best friend. Our commitment to quality spans every pre-owned watch and mechanical marvel in our collection. Should the unexpected occur, count on us to swiftly make things right. We treasure our clients' satisfaction and trust above all else—this ethos echoes through every member of our team.
Each pre-owned watch undergoes meticulous, non-invasive mechanical scrutiny and servicing if needed. This ensures they not only meet but exceed our stringent standards for accuracy and functionality.
Rest easy knowing that unless otherwise noted, our pre-owned watches come with a robust warranty—either full or limited—spanning twelve months. However, this doesn't cover damages from misuse or accidents. Given their age, some watches may require gentler treatment than when they were brand new.
For those watches serviced by their original manufacturers, they bear the manufacturer's guarantee, surpassing our standard warranty. To delve deeper into warranties & repairs, check out our dedicated section. And if there's any doubt, drop us a line at info@twaintime.com for absolute clarity. At Twain Time, trust isn't just a promise—it's our guiding principle.
Returns & Exchanges
At Twain Time, ensuring your satisfaction drives our return and exchange policy. You have a 5-day window for hassle-free returns from receipt, provided the product is unworn, undamaged, and retains its original tag. We offer exchanges or full refunds via the original payment method for qualifying returns.
Exceptions include personalized, worn, or damaged items, as well as missing accessories. Exchanges allow exploration of our diverse pre-owned and luxury watch selection. Return items should be unworn with all original packaging intact, and jewelry returns must maintain their original condition.
Special order items and certain criteria are exempt from the standard return policy. Our comprehensive returns and exchanges policy, available for full information, applies to in-stock items and excludes consigned, special, or custom orders. Contact us for special order exchange details.
In case of difficulty meeting return conditions, contact us for discussion and authorization before initiating the process.
Notify your Twain Time Client Advisor within 3 days of receipt to request authorization for returns. International returns are accepted with buyers responsible for return shipping, customs fees, and taxes.

Client testimonials
Trust Is Paramount
"Adriana was so incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. It was my first big watch purchase, and I couldn’t have felt in better hands. She made herself available and like I was a truly valued customer. I’d go back to her without question. We had a couple of hiccups that made the process longer than desired, but these were out of her control, and she did everything she could to correct them."
